Technical Description
The Mecalac AF 1050 is a compact, versatile wheel loader designed for demanding tasks, featuring a bucket capacity of 2 cubic yards (1.5 m³) heaped. It delivers a breakout force of 4,900 N and a lifting force of 5,400 N, with a maximum tipping load of 3,800 kg (8,378 lbs) when using the standard bucket. The bucket dumping angle reaches 45°, and the loader offers a thrust force of 4,650 N. It can carry up to 2,500 kg (5,512 lbs) on its forks in a frontal position.
The loader is powered by a low-noise, water-cooled Deutz TD 2.9 L4 turbo diesel engine, producing 75 hp (56 kW) at 2,600 rpm with peak torque of 300 Nm at 1,600 rpm. It operates on a 12V electrical system with a 95 Ah battery.

It has a wheelbase of 2 meters (6.9 ft), ground clearance just over 0 m (1.4 ft), a max hinge pin height of 4 meters (12 ft), and a turning radius of 4 meters (12.2 ft). The front axle/diff and rear axle/diff fluid capacities are 11 liters each. Maximum forward speed is 19 kph (12.5 mph) and steering angle is 35°, with 10° rear axle oscillation for enhanced stability. Tire size is 14.5-20. The operating weight is approximately 5,800 kg (12,787 lbs).
