AMS-LP1.
Less complexity.
More focus on the work.
A low-profile articulated loader configuration combining an 86 kW diesel drivetrain with an integrated load-sensing hydraulic package. Reduced hose runs, quick-coupling connections and self-lubricating bushes support practical service access.
RATED ENGINE OUTPUT
NOMINAL TRAMMING CAPACITY
STANDARD BUCKET CAPACITY
Power that follows the demand.
A load signal communicates the working circuit’s requirement to the pump control. Pump delivery adjusts to the requested flow and pressure, reducing unnecessary circulation when full output is not required.
Integrated valve bank
Working functions are brought together in a load-sensing valve bank, reducing separate control components and interconnecting hose runs.
Quick-coupling service access
Specified quick couplings simplify planned hose disconnection and replacement after safe hydraulic isolation.
Reduced hose layout
Integrated control reduces the need for distributed hose connections and creates a more accessible installation.
Self-lubricating bushes
Specified oil-less bushes reduce routine lubrication requirements at selected pivot locations.
The load-sensing package is designed to support substantial fuel savings in suitable duty cycles and improved utilisation through simpler maintenance. Actual savings depend on the working cycle and completed machine configuration.
