About Atlas Weyhausen
Atlas Weyhausen GmbH is a medium-sized German construction machinery manufacturer based in Wildeshausen. Under the Weycor brand, the company produces wheel loaders in various weight and power classes as well as telescopic wheel loaders (AR 480 T) and articulated wheel loaders (AR 480 S). The portfolio comprises 17 different wheel loader models with bucket capacities from 0.3 to 4.5 m³ and engine outputs from 25 to 218 hp, complemented by attachments such as earth buckets and pallet forks as well as the Agrarline series for agriculture. The machines are sold via a dealer network; since 2024 there has been a strategic cooperation with Zeppelin Baumaschinen, for which compact wheel loader models are manufactured. The company was founded in 1971 as F. Weyhausen GmbH & Co. KG and has borne its current name since 2010.
