Mecalac Unveils AT1050 Telescopic Wheel Loader at ARA Show

Mecalac, a leading manufacturer of construction equipment, made waves at the recent ARA Show by introducing its AT1050 telescopic wheel loader to the North American market. This model, while not new to the manufacturer, offers a fresh dimension of versatility tailored specifically for the region. With its unique combination of features, the AT1050 promises enhanced functionality for a variety of applications ranging from construction to landscaping.

The AT1050 boasts Mecalac's signature blend of machine versatility, providing operators with the maneuverability of an articulated loader coupled with the functionality of a rigid chassis front loader. This allows seamless integration of tasks such as material handling and loading, catering to diverse needs in construction, landscaping, recycling, and composting sectors.

One standout feature of the AT1050 is its rigid frame design, ensuring a stable center of gravity even when the boom is fully extended. Ryan Carter, regional sales manager with Mecalac North America, highlighted this stability, noting that unlike articulated loaders, the AT1050 maintains its full capacity without compromise, thanks to its all-wheel steer configuration.

Operators will appreciate the AT1050's agility, facilitated by three steering modes. Whether utilizing two-wheel steer for high-speed travel, four-wheel steer for negotiating tight turns, or crab steer for diagonal movement, the loader offers exceptional maneuverability within confined spaces, with a single movement radius of 12 feet, 2 inches.

Mecalac's aim with the AT1050 was to merge the reach of a telehandler with the operational prowess of a wheel loader, thereby streamlining operations and reducing mobilization costs on busy job sites. The machine's telescopic boom, complemented by a hydraulic quick coupler for effortless attachment changes, enhances efficiency and versatility across various tasks.

Powered by a robust 75-horsepower Tier 4 Final Deutz engine, the AT1050 ensures optimal performance without the need for complex emissions control systems. This translates to simplified maintenance requirements, further bolstering its appeal to operators and fleet managers alike.

Peter Bigwood, general manager for Mecalac North America, emphasized the company's commitment to durability, user-friendliness, and ease of maintenance. These attributes, combined with the AT1050's impressive specifications, solidify its position as a preferred choice among rental clientele and industry professionals.

In addition to its operational prowess, the AT1050 prioritizes operator comfort and safety, featuring a monoboom design for enhanced visibility of work tools, along with a panoramic roof and tinted windows for optimal visibility of the worksite.

With its unveiling at the ARA Show, the Mecalac AT1050 promises to set new standards for telescopic wheel loaders in the North American market, offering a compelling blend of versatility, performance, and user-centric design.
