AUSA launched its new dumper with a 2,000 kg payload which is the company’s first articulated dumper with this payload, placing it between the 1,500 kg (3,300 lb) D150AHG and the 3,000 kg (6,600 lb) D301AHG. One of the key features of this new model is that, thanks to the effective design of the swivel skip, it can transport more than 1,300 litres (1.7 cu yd) of material, making it the dumper with the highest capacity in its class.

The D201AHG is designed for operation in municipal works, as its small size – standing at just one 1.5 meters wide (59 inches) – makes it ideal for transporting soil or debris in locations with little room for manoeuvring. It combines perfectly with a mini-excavator in such spaces, performing the work highly efficiently and thus making it more cost-effective.

To minimize downtime in the event of maintenance or any issues, it has a backward folding cab, which allows easy access to any component. The power unit, a 18.5 kW (24.8 HP) Kubota engine without a particulate filter, is located in this area.

Combined with the all-terrain traction, this engine allows the D201AHG dumper to negotiate slopes of up to 50%.

In terms of safety, the AUSA D201AHG is equipped with various features that improve the operator’s peace of mind and the safety of their surroundings:

First of all, power is transmitted by a hydrostatic transmission that ensures far more comfortable and safer operations. Additionally, the driver’s cab is equipped with a seat with an operator’s presence sensor and a seat belt with fasten sensor, to prevent the machine from starting up if the required precautions have not been taken and to avoid unintentional machine movements. It is also equipped with an electronic negative brake, which is automatically engaged when the dumper’s engine is switched off to ensure that it comes to a standstill.
