SWING LOADERS
The Mecalac Swing Loader AS1000 excels on any job site with its efficiency and speed. The AS1000 delivers maximum performance thanks to its 4-cylinder engine, producing 55.4 kW (75 hp) and high torque of 375 Nm. Additionally, it can be equipped with a high-flow hydraulic line that delivers up to 120 litres per minute, making it ideal for operating hydraulic attachments.

Stability
100% faster than any small excavator
Proven stability
The stability of this machine is completely assured. When the rear axle is locked, any load lifted by the front bucket can be rotated 180° without losing steadiness. Thanks to its remarkable stability on all terrains and in various positions, the Swing Loader significantly improves logistics at construction sites. No matter the circumstances, it maintains its equilibrium while moving on site, between sites, or during different work stages. It combines mobility with the ability to overcome obstacles effortlessly. Additionally, its small turning radius provides a high degree of manoeuvrability, even in the most confined spaces.

Mobility
Three steering modes
Construction sites frequently face challenges such as congestion, limited workspace, and difficult ground conditions. This machine is designed with a one-piece frame and offers three standard steering modes: two-wheel steering, four-wheel steering, and crab steering. This design ensures exceptional mobility.

Turning radius over bucket
With its four-wheel steering and 180° swivel arm, the Mecalac swing can complete a full rotation in an area that is 20% smaller than that required by a conventional loader.

Mecalac Swing: Immediate Efficiency
Swing loaders are particularly well-suited for work sites with limited space and time. Their compact design greatly enhances their efficiency, which is significantly impacted by the loading and unloading cycles. These cycles involve various time-consuming maneuvers that can constitute a large portion of a conventional loader’s working hours. To address this issue, the innovative Mecalac Swing Loader concept was developed. This swing design focuses on improving the operational aspects of a wheeled loader, thereby enhancing both its efficiency and the comfort of the operator.

Compactness, efficiency
The Swing Loader, which features an articulating arm, can pivot instead of needing to be repositioned. This design leads to less wasted time, decreased noise and visual disturbances, lower maintenance requirements, a reduced risk of accidents, and a smaller environmental impact. For example, while a conventional loader requires a footprint of 10 meters to load a truck, the Swing Loader only requires 5 meters.

Sanding a trench
Not blocking traffic while filling a trench saves time and reduces disruption. The compact design of the Mecalac Swing Loader enables it to dump sand in a single lane, unlike other loaders that generally require two lanes.
