The Mecalac AX 1000 is a compact articulated wheel loader engineered for versatile construction and material handling applications. Powered by a Deutz TD 2.9 L4 turbocharged diesel engine generating 75 horsepower at 2,300 rpm with 260 Nm of torque, this machine delivers robust performance in demanding work environments. The loader features a 2.1 cubic yard bucket capacity with a maximum breakout force of 4,000 Newtons and a tipping load of 4,100 kilograms, enabling efficient loading and material movement. Its innovative self-stabilizing articulated joint shifts the center of gravity beneath the pendulum axle, providing exceptional stability across varied terrain and optimal ride comfort. Measuring 17.56 feet in length, 5.75 feet in width, and 8.01 feet in height, the AX 1000's compact profile makes it suitable for confined job sites with height restrictions. The machine operates on a single-circuit hydraulic system with a central gear pump delivering 16.4 gallons per minute flow capacity. With a maximum forward speed of 12.5 mph, a 12.2-foot turning radius, and a 40-degree steering angle, the loader navigates tight spaces efficiently. The operating weight of 11,927.1 pounds combined with lockable axles ensures stability during operations. Standard features include protected cables and hoses within the boom section, easily accessible maintenance points, and large tinted windows for superior all-round visibility, making the AX 1000 a reliable workhorse for construction sites worldwide.
