Mecalac has introduced three new swing loader models for the North American market. The all-new AS750, AS850 and AS1000 models join the previously released swing loaders, the AS600, AS900tele, AS1600 and AS210.

Mecalac’s swing loaders feature a rigid chassis and three steering modes – 2-wheel, 4-wheel and 4-wheel crab – that allow for tight turns. At the same time, the swing loader is designed to maintain 100% stability regardless of how it is positioned. With a proprietary integrated counterbalance paired with a patented automatic rear axle locking system, the bucket and its contents can be lifted and turned up to 90° on either side without any loss of stability. Finally, the pivoting boom makes it possible to position the machine once to complete a loading task.

“Mecalac’s swing loaders offer new capabilities to the North American market,” said Peter Bigwood, general manager of Mecalac North America. “Mecalac has designed a product that addresses the shortcomings of traditional loaders and provides a tool that can operate in a confined space, is economical in its movements, improving productivity, and is completely stable in all positions. The new models offer all these advantages in the 11,000-15,000 lbs. range.”

At just over 11,000 lbs. (5,000 kgs) and with a bucket capacity of 0.98 yd3 (750 liters), the AS750 is the second smallest swing loader model. Compared with the AS600, the new model is wider with a longer wheelbase (6-ft., 1-in./1,870 mm), while the higher engine power (61 hp/45 kW) supports lifting and loading capacities. The parallel, or P-bucket, offers precision during material handling operations, especially with pallet forks or a load hook. Finally, the AS750 has a two-door cab for accessibility.

Mecalac also offers the mid-size AS850, with an operating weight of 13,184 lbs. (5,980 kgs) and a bucket capacity of 1.1 yd3 (850 liters). This model encapsulates the capabilities of the AS series swing loaders with optional increased travel speed up to 25 mph (40 km/h).

A step up in power from the AS850, the AS1000 is also a mid-size model at 14,639 lbs. (6,640 kgs) with a bucket capacity of approximately 1.3 yd3 (1,000 liters). It is powered by a 4-cylinder 75 hp (55.4 kW) high-torque engine. An optional high-flow hydraulic line offers up to 120 liters per minute, which is designed for driving hydraulic attachments.
