At the ATLAS booth (FM.713/2) in the outdoor exhibition area of the 34th bauma, visitors will once more be able to get detailed first-hand information on the versatility of ATLAS product solutions and exclusive insights into the world of state-of-the-art construction machinery and lifting technologies and ATLAS GmbH will again present their latest innovations and technologies.

Among others, ATLAS will unveil a range of completely redesigned wheeled excavators “Made in Germany” and even one entirely new model. All ATLAS excavators are 100% produced in Germany: The powerful diesel engines as well as all hydraulic components and axles are supplied by renowned German manufacturers, too.

The ATLAS 185W is a powerful and versatile wheeled excavator, especially developed for demanding jobs in road and civil engineering. Featuring an operating weight of 18.6 to 20.5 tons and an engine output of 129 kW, the ATLAS 185W provides the power and stability required for efficient operation under all kinds of conditions. Its compact build makes it very agile and, thus, perfect for construction sites with limited space. It is available with a range of jib options so it can be adapted to various applications. The ergonomically designed cab features air condition and provides optimum all-round view. Quick access to all service points ensures easy maintenance.

The wheeled excavator 185W that ATLAS exhibits at bauma features an armored cab and a camera system with 360-degree panoramic view. The heavy-duty 3D all-round visibility system TVI provides incomparable view and safety on the road. 4 wide-angle cameras with 190-degree angle of view monitor the vehicle’s surroundings in all directions and allow an unrestricted 360-degree 3D view of all sides, the front and the rear area. The robust construction ensures a long service life under harsh conditions. Given its flexibility, it can be adapted to many different vehicle geometries and visibility requirements in order to prevent related visibility problems. Further benefits are cable remote control for view modes and calibration function; automatic calibration correction to minimize/eliminate distortions; individualization of image display (29 viewing modes). The system protects lives, supports humans, and lowers costs. With our ATLAS armored-glass cab we provide an innovative solution that not only ensures that your employees are perfectly protected but that also makes your E.O.D. assignments significantly more efficient. The ATLAS armored-glass cab sets new standards with regard to safety and considerably exceeds the requirements of DGUV 201-027. When disposing of explosive ordnance, the ATLAS armored-glass cab perfectly protects your employees – without restricting their field of vision. The base solution comprises front and base armor in accordance with DGUV standards. It also includes a 50-mm thick high-security BR6 NS windshield that is particularly resistant to punctures and explosions.

The ATLAS 155W Bigfoot is also a powerful wheeled excavator, especially developed for difficult terrain. With an engine output of 115 kW, operating weight of up to 16.5 tons, and extra wide low-pressure tires, the ATLAS 155W Bigfoot masters challenging jobs with ease. The large tires for optimum ground pressure give it excellent off-road mobility; the powerful hydraulics ensure precise and efficient work movements; and the ergonomically designed comfort cab offers perfect all-round view. All service points are easy to reach, which makes the Bigfoot also extremely maintenance-friendly. The Bigfoot on display at bauma is equipped with a Mera Rabeler mowing bucket.

The ATLAS 175Wsr is another powerful and agile wheeled excavator and has a short tail swing for construction, road and civil engineering applications. With an engine output of 115 kW, operating weight of 18.5 to 20.5 tons, and a digging depth of 6.1 meters, the ATLAS 175Wsr combines power, stability, and efficiency. This extremely agile wheeled excavator is ideally suited for construction sites with limited space. It has a high lifting capacity and, with its powerful hydraulics, it can be precisely controlled. The ergonomically designed cab offers operators every comfort imaginable, safety, and all-round view. The quickly accessible service points make maintenance very easy. The wheeled excavator 175Wsr exhibited by ATLAS at bauma features a heavy-duty fork.

The ATLAS 135Wsr with a tail swing radius of only 1,620 mm is the most compact wheeled excavator made by ATLAS and is an entirely new model. The ATLAS 135Wsr has an operating weight of 13.9 to 15.2 tons, and its compact and powerful 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. Aside from that, the new 135Wsr 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 a support for confined work areas. It is also the first ATLAS excavator featuring all-wheel steering (4-wheel steering with serial shifting of the steering cylinders) and crab steering.

The quick-change systems are also made by ATLAS – adjusted to fit jibs with bucket tipping cylinder and system of redirect levers for changing from, for example, bucket to bucket, bucket to grab, grab to grab.

Feel-Good Cab: When completely redesigning the cab, the ATLAS engineers placed special emphasis on clear arrangement, health, comfort, and functionality. The feel-good cab features an even better interior configuration and a new air conditioning as well as 360-degree panoramic views; low noise levels; excellent ventilation and ergonomic concept as well as a host of stowage possibilities and even more space. This probably makes it one of the industry’s most comfortable workplaces. With non-slip steps and wide access, the spacious cabs are easy to enter and exit. The premium seat is ergonomically designed, made from high-grade materials, and available in various designs – from the pneumatic suspension and lumbar support, heated seat and headrest to individual adjustments, ATLAS seats keep the operator comfortable. Ranging from the adjustable control panel and the ergonomic joystick, all control levers and switches are within easy reach. The automatic climate control not only provides for cooling on hot workdays but also ensures supply of clean, dust-free air, and in wintertime is keeps warm. Via the display, temperature, fan and air-conditioning can easily be controlled. All control instruments in this state-of-the-art and well-equipped cab are clearly arranged. One also cannot too strongly emphasize the large-scale glazing for superior panoramic view. Das sorgt für eine ein sicheres und gutes Gefühl den ganzen, manchmal langen Arbeitstag!

“We are proud of our long history as a designer, practitioner, and manufacturer of excavators, loader cranes and equipment and have always been at the forefront of development. By now, many of our innovations have become part of the construction machinery industry. We are confident of the outstanding efficiency of our ATLAS products. Together with our passionate global network of ATLAS distributors, we are eager to present our new machines to a broader professional audience at the bauma. We want to show that, even after more than a century, ATLAS still is an innovative company that is characterized by economic efficiency and technological supremacy and that offers the best solution to any challenge. We already received a lot of confirmations from interested parties and existing customers to visit us at the fair. That is why we are now looking forward to a host of good and inspiring face-to-face talks and, subsequently, to implement the valuable insights, practical experiences, and new ideas stemming from these talks into the development and advancement of our machines,” says Brahim Stitou, CEO of ATLAS Group.
