Wide range of swing loaders for many applications

Ahlmann Netherlands has a wide range of multifunctional machines, including the swing loader. The maneuverable, stable and compact Ahlmann AS600 Swing Loader is particularly interesting for the landscaper. With its many attachments, it can be used for paving, trimming hedges or moving debris, among other things. 

Ahlmann has been developing and manufacturing high-quality and innovative swing loaders at its factory in Büdelsdorf, in northern Germany, for decades. Jonieke van den Oord: "Our wheel loaders are among the versatile wheel loaders because of the 180-degree swinging boom. At the same time, they are also very safe: what they can load at the front they can also take to the side. In addition, at the same time they can also drive, steer and swing without restrictions."

Swing loaders have three steering settings: front axle, all-wheel steering or dog walk for optimal maneuverability. In practice, this maneuverability offers many advantages. For example, the operator can pull in sand or rubble to be leveled from the curbs while driving backwards with the swivel arm and distribute sand and concrete behind the curbs while driving with the swivel arm. With the swiveling arm, he can thus work optimally forwards and backwards, resulting in considerable fuel savings. Even difficult corners can be reached, which increases productivity. Surface damage remains minimal.

Ahlmann's total range of swing loaders consists of five models: AS600, AS750 with the same looks but more power and its bigger brothers AS850, AS1000 and AS1600. Van den Oord: "We call the AS600 the benjamin because it is our smallest model. But like all the other models, this swing loader has a travel speed of up to 30 km per hour, a large tipping load and distributes weight over the entire 180° range. So anything it lifts at the front can also rotate 180 degrees. In addition, this four-wheel steered swing loader has a very small turning radius, allowing the operator to work with it in the tightest places." The AS600 can be fitted with various attachments, making it suitable for a variety of jobs. Think, for example, of a hedge trimmer, sweeping broom, debris bucket or closed buckets. The spacious cab with two doors offers the operator a nice working space.
