 Comment on this model.
The AR 75e T is a wheel loader with a telescopic
boom, and this 'e' version is described by Atlas Weycor as low emission,
efficient and evolutionary.
It weighs 6 tonnes and has a shovel capacity of 1.0m³.
Packaging
The model comes in a small Atlas Weycor branded box and is held
between expanded polystyrene trays.
There were no
defects or missing parts on the review model.
The model is fully assembled when removed from the box.
There is no information provided about the model or the
real machine.
Detail
The underside is detailed nicely with the transmission
complete and the treaded tyres look
good and they are mounted on detailed wheels.
At the rear the lights are painted and the engine cover
is cast well and it has tiny graphics. The exhaust
pipe is plastic.
The cab is detailed really well with lightly tinted
windows and distinct frames. Inside the steering wheel and controls
look good and there is a textured floor.
On the outside there are plastic mirrors, wipers and
grab rails.
At the pivot point there are no hoses crossing, and there
are soft rubber mud flaps behind the front wheels.
Wheel chocks are mounted on each side.
The boom is good with pleasant casting details.
Two of the hydraulic rams are very thin with metal
jackets, but there are no hoses. There are very
thin hoses at the connection point for the shovel.
The shovel is nicely formed with sharp teeth.
Features
It rolls well and steering across the pivot point
achieves a good angle. The rear axle has a degree
of oscillation.
The engine cover opens but the range is restricted so it
is difficult to see the engine inside.
The boom raises to a reasonably high angle which is a
little short of the real machine and at the top the main
ram loses straightness. It telescopes although the
mechanism was sticky on the review model.
The tilting of the shovel is very good.
The shovel can be removed by extracting a couple of
pins.
Quality
The model is high quality and mostly metal with some
plastic elements.
The paintwork and graphics are very good.
Price
The model is reasonably priced.
Overall
This is an interesting and unusual wheel loader which is
modelled well. It would have been nicer if a set
of forks had been included as this would have provided
some interesting posing options.
Footnotes
The model was announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair in 2014. A
set of forks (NZG #936)
was produced as an optional extra.
