For industry professionals requiring the lifting profile of a 22-tonne machine without the spatial requirements of a conventional unit, the ATLAS 180WSR Mobile Excavator represents the pinnacle of short-tail engineering. This model is specifically designed for high-capacity civil works where heavy material handling must occur within a restricted footprint, offering a formidable 22.2-tonne maximum package. Whether executing heavy-duty lifts on bridge decks or managing deep-trench excavations in dense urban centres, the 180WSR delivers the “all-weather” stability and structural solidness that sets the standard for the modern work site.

Key Features of the ATLAS 180WSR

• Massive Lifting Potential: With an operating weight reaching 22,200 kg, this machine provides an ultra-stable digging platform, allowing for the safe handling of heavy trench boxes and large-diameter concrete pipes.
• Deep Excavation Reach: Offering a substantial 6.0-metre digging depth, the 180WSR ensures superior underground access for major utility installations and deep-foundation engineering projects.
• High-Efficiency Propulsion: The 157 HP (115 kW) engine is precision-tuned for high-torque output, providing the aggressive breakout force needed to penetrate rocky terrain and compacted urban fill.
• Space-Optimised Design: The short-tail configuration allows for high-performance slewing in narrow work zones, enabling the machine to operate safely without obstructing adjacent traffic lanes.
• Refined Hydraulic Sensitivity: Equipped with a high-flow hydraulic system, the 180WSR offers surgical accuracy for delicate work around existing infrastructure while maintaining the power for heavy-duty digging.

Versatility for Major Urban Works

The ATLAS 180WSR is a versatile powerhouse, dominating applications such as metropolitan motorway expansions, large-scale utility repairs, and heavy foundation work. The operator-centric cab features a panoramic field of vision and an intuitive interface, which are critical for maintaining 360-degree safety on busy, multi-crew construction sites. By integrating the 180WSR into a fleet, plant hire firms can offer a machine that combines the strength of a heavy excavator with the agility of a mobile unit. Its ability to be driven directly to the next job site ensures maximum machine utilization and eliminates the logistical costs associated with low-loader transport for tracked machinery.

Why Choose the ATLAS 180WSR?

The ATLAS 180WSR Short-Radius Excavator is the ideal choice for businesses seeking a machine that bridges the gap between massive lifting power and a compact physical footprint. It is a reliable, solid, and highly mobile asset designed to perform effectively in the most punishing conditions, delivering the precise control and high-torque performance required for the most demanding project specifications.
