High stability is claimed for Aussa's compact, high lift dumper
2188 Ausa is continuing to widen its product range with the addition of an improved high-tipping dumper.

The D150AHA offers a 1.5tonne capacity and features hydrostatic transmission for ease of control and maintenance.

Ausa dumpers from the D85 to D150 range are fitted with a transmission system, which uses hydrostatic axles rather than hydrostatic motors, allowing greater stability as the centre of gravity is lower than that of competing models.

Other benefits of the range include efficient brakes and a single joystick control.

The D150AHA is an articulated dumper with hi-tip unloading, has a tipping height of 1.68m, a maximum non-tipping hopper lift height of 2.18m and a maximum hopper capacity of 852litres.

The D150AHA is fitted with a 17kW Kubota D1105 diesel driving through all four wheels, allowing a top speed of 17km/hour and the machine can negotiate gradients of up to 40% at full load.

    February 14, 2012
    New generation wheeled pavers aimed at use in territories such as the UK, Italy, South Africa and Southern Germany are now coming to market. Pavers in these countries are often expected to be driven from one part of a site to another or for short distances, which is why the additional mobility of the wheeled machine is preferred in many instances over similarly-sized tracked models. This preference for wheeled units comes in spite of the greater stability offered by tracked machines. BOMAG, Caterpillar and
