The Ford A-62, A-64, and A-66 Wheel Loaders are heavy-duty articulated loaders built for construction, quarry, and industrial applications. These machines combine robust diesel engines with powerful hydraulics, delivering high breakout force, stable loader performance, and dependable operation in demanding environments. With horsepower ratings ranging from 103 hp (A-62) to 160 hp (A-66), this series provides a versatile lineup to match different job site requirements.
The Ford A-62 is equipped with a 4.4L 4-cylinder diesel producing approximately 103 hp, with an operating weight between 16,000β19,700 lbs and a wheelbase of 103 inches. The A-64 increases capacity to around 125 hp with additional hydraulic strength and weight, making it ideal for mid-range loader applications. The A-66, the largest in the lineup, is powered by a 6.6L 6-cylinder diesel rated at 160 hp, with operating weights up to 29,000 lbs and a wheelbase of 111 inches, offering maximum lift and breakout capacity for heavy-duty loading and material handling tasks.
