AUSA’s next-generation compact dumpers updated for serviceability and safety

AUSA is launching its next-generation range of compact dumpers with 2,200- and 3,300-pound payloads. The manufacturer of compact all-terrain industrial vehicles aims to build on the success of its earlier models by equipping the five new models with new features that improve their functionality and promote safety.

Optimized design for maintenance 

The dumpers' new angular lines are designed for practicality. The main new feature is a folding compartment in the operator's area that makes the engine and maintenance parts easily accessible. Everything, including air, fluids and fuel filters, radiators, and tanks, is optimally positioned to keep downtime to a minimum. Additionally, all models feature a dashboard display with real-time information about the machine, such as fuel level, hours of use and which mechanisms are activated, such as the negative brake.

New safety features

AUSA's new 2,200- and 3,300-pound models have an array of new, standard equipment designed to increase the safety of the operator and other nearby workers. Each machine is equipped with a negative brake that brings it to a complete stop when it is not in use, without needing to apply the brake. It also has an electric parking brake that is operated by a button on the dashboard.

The driver's cab is equipped with a high-comfort seat with suspension, ensuring comfort in the machine and reducing tiredness during long working days. Additionally, the cabs also feature a presence sensor and a seat belt with a buckle sensor.

A compact dumper to meet every need

All the models share the same 21-hp Kubota engine, permanent four-wheel drive and a fuel tank with 60 percent more capacity than their predecessors, the five dumpers each have their own specific configurations that allow them to meet different needs.

• The D101AHA Compact, with a 2,200-pound payload, is the most compact model in the range. At just 39-inches wide, it is exceptionally narrow to fit through the doors of buildings and properties, making it an excellent solution for indoor demolition works.
• The D101AHA and D101AHG models have a skip with a 2,200-pound payload and 42-inch widths. The AHA version has front and high-tipping, which is perfect for emptying small loads of material into jobsite dumpsters. Meanwhile, the AHG version has a swivel tip skip, making it a great option for easily unloading materials into side ditches.
• The two D151AHA and D151AHG models have a payload of 3,300-pounds and the same high-tip and swivel skip configurations as the above models. Both are ideal for earthmoving and small demolition jobs in areas with limited room for maneuvering.
