Site with AC 645 history
https://contractormag.co.nz/contractor/645-loader/ WHILE ALLIS-CHALMERS was responsible for a lot of ‘firsts’ in the track type tractor industry, it tended to be somewhat of a follower when it came to wheel loaders. However, when it introduced its first articulated wheel loader, the model TL-645, it was a real beauty and fully justified all the research and development that Allis-Chalmers had put into it. Introduced in 1965 after a five-year testing period, the model 645 was a medium-sized machine with a 2.5 cubic yard bucket, suited for all manner of applications, be it construction, aggregate handling, industrial or if equipped with log forks, forestry. A little backgroundIn the late 1940s, the Tractomotive Corporation of Deerfield, Illinois was manufacturing small rigid frame, rear wheel steer loaders using Allis-Chalmers’ agricultural tractors as a chassis. These loaders were very efficient and second only to Hough’s wheel loaders in popularity. |
