AUSA Launches its Next-Generation of Compact Dumpers

AUSA just expanded its already excellent compact dumper line with five new models. This next-generation range of machines is designed with new features that improve functionality and promote safety. Curious? Let’s take a look.

AUSA’s Compact Dumpers

When looking at the new line, all five models boast a 21-hp Kubota engine, permanent 4-wheel drive and a fuel tank with 60 percent more capacity than their predecessors.

At 39-in. wide, the D101AHA Compact is the most compact model in the new line. It has a 2,000-lb payload and is narrow enough to fit through doorways. Its small stature makes it ideal for indoor demolition tasks.

Both of the D101AHA and D101AHG models feature a 2,200-lb payload and 42-in. widths. The D101AHA model offers operators front and high-tipping. This is a great option when needing to empty small loads of material into jobsite dumpsters. The D101AHG’s swivel tip skip is perfect for unloading materials into side ditches.

The two larger models — D151AHA and D151AHG — have a payload of 3,300 lbs. They also have the same high-tip and swivel skip configurations and excel in earthmoving and small demolition jobs.

Designed to Deliver

Some design features in AUSA‘s new line include angular lines that provide built-in practicality, as well as a folding compartment in the operator’s area. This folding compartment makes the engine and maintenance parts easily accessible. Maintenance items like fluids and filters are optimally positioned to keep downtime to a minimum.

All five of the new models feature a dashboard display with real-time information about the
machine. That way operators can keep an eye on the machine’s fuel level, hours of use and more.

Safety First

AUSA’s new models are designed with a range of features to increase operator and jobsite safety.

Each machine is equipped with:

• a negative brake that brings the dumper to a complete stop when it’s not in use, without needing to apply the brake;
• an electric parking brake that’s operated by a button on the dashboard;
• a high-comfort seat with suspension; and
• a presence sensor and a seat belt with a buckle sensor.
