Petersen Industries AL-2 Atlas Grapple Loader® Advantages
Speed
Atlas is designed to save time in multiple areas:
- The work-site set-up is easier and quicker with custom outrigger placement and a boom that can continuously rotate 360° degrees.
- During operation, the variable speed pump allows you to use any combination of functions without slowing down while dumping. The dump hoist is power up and gravity down with twin multi-stage telescopic cylinders, giving us a 45% faster dump cycle.
Endurance
In this industry, it’s not only about how many hits you can take, but about how long you can keep operating at peak performance. That’s why Atlas offers:
- A state-of-the-art hydraulic and filtration system designed to keep this vital portion of the loader running as smoothly as possible.
- Fully skinned bucket and body in Hardox 450 steel for extreme wear and tear.
Strength
Atlas delivers maximum power during all stages:
- Lifting – Whether it’s a tree or a Suburban, our lift cylinders can handle any job.
- Crushing – Twin cylinders on the Big Bite Bucket can make short work of the
small stuff. - Dumping – We have the heaviest and most stable lifting hoist for whatever you’ll be loading throughout the day.
- Equipped with our new C & D Bucket for larger pickup maneuvers
Top Seat
Because of the proportional joysticks, the foot pedal swing, and an oversized seat designed for maximum comfort, you could stay up here all day long.
Hydraulic System
Rest assured that the durability and dependability of the components we use in our hydraulic system will help you get the job done every time it is needed.
Slewing System/Gearbox
Steady as she goes.
Our stabilizing swing circuit ensures smooth starts and stops, reducing the overall stress on the boom and slewing system. After three seconds of inactivity, the integral break locks down the boom which eliminates the need for a mechanical swing lock.
A-Frame Style Outriggers
The industry standard A-Frame gives you a central grounding stance for a more secure and stable profile in any environment.
Cylinders
We utilize many of the same great cylinders that have been tried and true in our other models over the years. This means that if you are a current customer, you’ll have some interchangeability with other products. If you are a new customer, you can be confident in our legendary reputation for quality and durability.
C&D (Construction and Demolition) Bucket
Our new C&D bucket is fully designed to aid in construction and demolition. The shape of the jaws allows you to make quick work emptying construction dumpsters . The power and speed of the C&D bucket will make cleaning up the rest of the job site an unparalleled experience.
MHX Body
Full disclosure, MHX stands for “Mega-Hardox.” A deserving name for a 40 cubic yard (or bigger) body that is skinned on the floor, headboard, sides, and top rail in 3/16” Hardox 450 steel.
