Versatility is claimed by ATLAS for its new wheeled excavator

ATLAS claims that its latest wheeled excavator has been redesigned and now benefit from increased power, boosting performance. The 135Wsr has a tail swing radius of only 1,620mm, a swing torque of 40kNm, and a slew speed of 9rpm. The 135Wsr weighs from 13.9-15.2tons and its Deutz diesel meets the Stage V emissions requirements and delivers 95kW at 2000rpm, providing a traction of 82kN, a top speed of 35km/h and good off-road mobility. In addition, it is highly fuel-efficient.

The 135Wsr features an integrated engine oil level sensor while refueling is now done from the ground without the need to access the excavator, which can now also be operated using synthetic fuels. A central lubrication point supplies lubrication for the upper carriage and arm equipment; as an option, a fully automated version of the central lubrication is available. As an option, the 135Wsr can be fitted with the first split dozer blade made by ATLAS. As the two halves of the blade can be moved independently, it adapts to uneven surfaces. For more flexibility, the machine is  available with an outrigger for confined work areas and is also the first ATLAS excavator with all-wheel steering and crab steering.

The new model also has an advanced cab design with 360° visibility, which provides the operator with an unobstructed view for higher safety and more efficient operation. The efficient cab ventilation can keep the operator comfortable, providing clean air at the right temperature. The cab is designed to keep noises level low, with soundproofing providing a quieter workplace for the operator.
