1991 - 1994 MUSTANG ML48 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Mustang ML48 is a compact all-wheel-steer wheel loader designed for versatile material handling and loading applications. Powered by a 4-cylinder F4M2011 engine producing 59 net horsepower at 2,400 rpm, it delivers robust performance in confined spaces. The loader features a 1.9 cubic yard heaped bucket capacity with 7,868 lbs breakout force and a 6.3-foot bucket width, making it suitable for moving aggregates, soil, and debris efficiently. Its hydrostatic transmission provides smooth operation with 12.4 mph maximum forward and reverse speeds, while the all-wheel-steer capability enhances maneuverability in tight job sites. Dimensionally, the machine measures 16.7 feet in length with bucket on ground, 5.6 feet width over tires, and 8.3 feet to cab height, offering excellent visibility and accessibility. The 10.7-foot hinge pin maximum height and 8.2-foot dump clearance accommodate standard truck beds effectively. Operating at 9,921 lbs with a 40-degree rear axle oscillation for terrain absorption, the loader maintains exceptional stability on uneven ground. Its hydraulic system features 19.5 gallons-per-minute pump flow capacity at 3,046 psi relief setting, ensuring responsive bucket and lift functions. With 21.1-gallon fuel capacity and 18.5-gallon hydraulic fluid capacity, it minimizes refueling downtime on job sites. The 11.3-foot turning radius makes the ML48 ideal for confined construction areas, rental fleets, and small-to-medium contracting operations requiring reliable compact loading equipment.
