Versatility for new wheeled excavator from ATLAS

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.

    The excavator and wheeled loader segments represent massive sales volumes for manufacturers, so new model development is prioritised - Mike Woof writes. The crawler excavator segment accounts for a substantial portion of total sales of construction machines. With this in mind, it is no surprise that this is a market segment for which manufacturers prioritise a significant proportion of their research and development budgets.

    JCB has high hopes for its new Hydradig wheeled excavator, which is said to offer high versatility and stability, as well as visibility, mobility, manoeuvrability and serviceability. A key feature of the machine is the novel layout of its engine and fuel tank, mounted on the lower chassis member rather than on the rotating upperstructure. This helps provide a much better view from the newly-designed cab, aided by large glass panels, and allows the operator to see all four wheels. This radical design also lo

    Excavators and wheeled loaders benefit from new engine technology - Mike Woof reports. Competition is tough in the market for crawler excavators and wheeled loaders. These production machines account for a significant percentage of the entire construction equipment market worldwide and the segment also has the widest array of competing manufacturers. In the past, European, Japanese and US manufacturers dominated this sector but in the last 20 years South Korean companies have built significant market shares
