Atlas weycor wheel loader AR 250e weighs in the 2.5m³ class

Atlas, based in Wildeshausen in northwestern Germany, is extending the weycor series, in which other AR wheel loaders meet the TIER V ready exhaust gas regulation, in the direction of large high-performance loaders.

Atlas AR 250e wheel loader: all set for TIER 5
7985 Atlas, based in Wildeshausen in northwestern Germany, is extending the weycor series, in which other AR wheel loaders meet the TIER V ready exhaust gas regulation, in the direction of large high-performance loaders.

The 201 Deutz TCD 6.1 engine with DOC/DPF/SCR exhaust system has an output of 160kW at 2000rpm and complies with the TIER IV final exhaust gas regulations and even with the TIER V ready regulations, which are not likely to come into force until 2020.

The maximum tipping load without hydraulic quick coupler is 8800kg, putting it at the top of this weight class. The loader can also be supplied with a hydraulic quick coupler that meets ISO 23727.

Standard clearance height is 3935mm with 20.5 R 25 tyres. The standard operating weight of the weycor AR 250e is 13800kg and the machine has a wheelbase of 3000mm.

The redesigned ROPS and FOPS approved Type 40 cab has a one-piece windscreen. There is also a new operating console with an ergonomically redesigned joystick.

All of the driving functions shown on the display are controlled with just one knob, as in a car. It is possible to switch between the fast running function of 50kph and inching speed at the press of a button. Pressing the button also allows individual driving with corresponding presets to be selected, with a choice of one of four driving modes – shovel, pallet, eco and road modes.

The steering column, the angle and height of which can be adjusted, allows any driver to set up the optimal operating position. The distribution of force over the differential lock which can be engaged is 100% rear axis and 100% front axis with the weycor AR 250e.

    US and European asphalt paving needs are different, but some firms are bridging that gap, reports Mike Woof. With a clear differentiation between the US and European asphalt paving markets, manufacturers from the latter are now developing machines aimed at the former. The US and European markets for paving machines have developed along very different lines. North American pavers are designed for high throughputs and high paving rates, having been designed to meet a need to build roads over long distances wi

    SDLG is widening its grader range with the addition of the new G9260, the largest motor grader the company has ever made. Power comes from an electronically controlled Tier 3 SD13 diesel that drives through a power shift transmission control valve and a mechanical transmission system, which is said to be effective and fuel-efficient. The machine is said to deliver 136kN of tractive force and also features hydraulically powered wet brakes. Other features include double fuel tanks for the G9260, as well as a

    The alternatives to diesel fuel as a power source continue to grow as firms move to cut emissions - Mike Woof writes. Only the most myopic could have failed to notice that times are changing in terms of engine technology. In the on-highway automotive sector as well as for the off-highway construction machine segment, manufacturers are looking to lower tailpipe emissions. Similar technologies have been employed in both on-highway and off-highway sectors, although those solutions have been adapted to better
