Quality Made in Germany: ATLAS will be represented at the 70th NordBau in Neumünster

This year, ATLAS will again be represented at the NordBau trade fair at the booth of their long-term

dealer partner ATLAS von der Wehl. The 70th NordBau will be held from September 10-14,

2025 at the Holstenhallen in Neumünster in the north of Germany.

With around 69,000 square meters of outdoor exhibition space and over 20,000 square meters of hall space, NordBau is regarded as the most important compact construction trade fair in northern Europe and the entire Baltic Sea region. Every year, around 700 exhibitors from 15 countries meet around 50,000 visitors. Exhibitors have been using NordBau to reach both the numerous trade visitors and end customers since 1956. NordBau has a high level of acceptance and appeal for all those interested in construction and for people working in the construction industry. In the outdoor exhibition area north and west, the full range of construction machinery and equipment for building and civil engineering activities – directly, practice-based and in action. The exhibition area spans machinery for road construction and civil engineering, recycling and processing technology, attachment tools for structural and civil engineering, crane technology, and construction site equipment. The exhibitors specifically focus on construction sites and present solutions that combine efficiency, precision and sustainability.

At the booth of Von der Wehl Corporate Group (N134) in the outdoor exhibition area north, interested parties will have the opportunity to get exclusive insights into the world of state-of-the- art construction machinery technologies and experience the versatility of product solutions from ATLAS at first hand.

Short–radius excavator 135Wsr – the most compact wheeled excavator made by ATLAS

The new short-radius excavator ATLAS 135Wsr with a tail-swing radius of only 1620 mm, a swing torque of 40 kNm and an upper carriage rotation speed of 9 rpm is the most compact wheeled excavator made by ATLAS and highlights the continuous advancement and power of innovation of the company that has been setting new standards in the construction industry for more than a century. Just as long, the name ATLAS also stands for “Quality Made in Germany”. This short-radius excavator – like any other excavator produced by ATLAS – is 100% made in Germany. The powerful diesel engine as well as all hydraulic components and axles are supplied by renowned German manufacturers. ATLAS machines feature perfect stability, enormous power and a sensitive excavator control system. Moreover, ATLAS offers a wide array of manufacturer-independent attachment tools – from a simple dipper shovel to orange peel grabs for scrap applications, ATLAS manufactures attachment tools of the highest quality.

The ATLAS 135Wsr has an operating weight of 13.9 to 15.2 tons and its compact and powerful 4- cylinder Deutz diesel engine TCD 3.6 conforming to the V emission class has an output of 95 kW at 2000

rpm, providing it with a traction of 82 kN, high load-bearing capacity, a top speed of 35 km/h, and excellent off-road mobility. In addition, it is extremely fuel-efficient. As an option, the 35Wsr can be fitted with the first split dozer blade made by ATLAS GmbH. This split dozer blade offers decisive advantages for precise and efficient operation. Since the two halves of the blade can be moved independently, it perfectly adapts to uneven surfaces. For even more flexibility, it is also available with an outrigger for confined work areas and, as the first ATLAS excavator, with all- wheel steering (4-wheel steering with serial shifting of the steering cylinders) and crab steering.

A special feature of this new compact short-radius excavator ATLAS 135Wsr is the completely redesigned cab with an even better interior configuration, more space, and a host of stowage possibilities as well as a new air conditioning. The ROPS safety cab structure (roll-over protection) allows to easily stow just the front window or slide the complete unit including the base under the roof. The working lights are integrated into the roof and the door has a sliding window. The standard equipment also includes automatic climate control, including cab dehumidification, heating and automatic air circulation for quick de-icing at the touch of a button. The ventilation flaps are operated via a menu; circulating and fresh air filters can be easily replaced and accessed from the inside. The cab is designed for extreme outside temperatures and the control of the automatic is dependent of the sunlight and the temperatures insight and outside. The ventilation inside the cab matches the highest standards in the automotive industry and provides a comfortable work environment – even for long jobs.

Besides this brand-new excavator model, visitors of the NordBau will be able to also verify the versatility and efficiency of several other tried and tested ATLAS machines.
