The Mecalac AS 1600 is a professional 11-ton class wheel loader designed for efficient handling and high versatility in confined work sites. It features a robust Deutz TCD 3.6 L4 turbo diesel engine delivering 136 hp (101 kW) at 2200 rpm with peak torque at 1600 rpm, ensuring strong performance and low fuel consumption. The loader has a total operating weight of 24,074.5 lbs (10,920 kg) and a compact footprint including a wheelbase of 7.5 ft (2 m), an overall length of 21.6 ft (6 m) with the bucket on the ground, and a height to the top of the cab of 10.2 ft (3 m). It provides a tight turning radius of 14.3 ft (4.35 m), ideal for maneuvering in limited spaces. The AS 1600’s hydraulic system supports a maximum thrust force of 9000 N and a breakout force of 8000 N, with a lift capacity of 6900 N. Bucket tipping load stands at approximately 13,228 lbs (6,000 kg). It handles payloads on forks up to 9,094 lbs (4,125 kg) when turned frontally, and 8,697 lbs (3,945 kg) when swivelled. Its hydraulically adjustable bucket achieves a maximum dump angle of 53° and a tilting angle of 45°. Operating specifications include a fuel capacity of 39.7 gallons (148 liters), hydraulic fluid capacity of 42.3 gallons (159 liters), and 24V electrical system supported by a 120 A alternator and dual 95 Ah batteries. The maximum forward speed is 12.5 mph (19 kph), with a steering angle of 35° and rear axle oscillation of 10°. The loader uses tires size 17.5-25, optimizing ground clearance and stability for construction and industrial tasks.
