AT50 & AT65 Mini-Excavators: Compact Slip-Loaders for Efficient Urban and Industrial Tasks

For municipal contractors, independent operators, and industrial companies, space, maneuverability, and operational efficiency are crucial. The AT50 and AT65 mini-excavators and slip-loaders deliver compact size, robust hydraulic systems, and versatile applications, making them ideal for urban construction, landscaping, foundation excavation, and specialized industrial operations. Understanding their capabilities helps businesses maximize productivity while minimizing downtime.

What Is a Slip-Loader and How It Differs from Standard Loaders

Slip-loaders are smaller, more agile loaders with key advantages:

• Compact Design: AT50 and AT65 can work in narrow streets, urban sites, and confined construction areas.

• Enhanced Maneuverability: Articulated steering and tight turning radius allow smooth operations in tight spaces.

• Attachment Versatility: Support for buckets, grapples, sweepers, augers, and breakers.

Difference from Standard Loaders: Standard loaders are bulkier, suited for open construction sites, and require more transport logistics. Slip-loaders are optimized for flexible, multi-industry applications.

Key Features of AT50 & AT65

• Operating Load & Power: Both machines handle 700 kg payloads with a 45 kW engine, offering a digging radius of up to 3.2 m and bucket lift height of 2.3 m.

• Hydraulic Efficiency: Rated flux 80 L/min ensures smooth operation for digging, lifting, and material handling.

• Mobility: Max speed 10 km/h, tracked or wheeled models handle rough terrain and urban roads.

• Durable Chassis: Reinforced frames and robust tracks/tires withstand tough industrial, municipal, and agricultural workloads.
