How Ausa compares
These are the makes buyers actually cross-shop against Ausa.
Ausa vs Mecalac
Mecalac is a French maker of compact construction machines whose UK unit in Coventry, formed from the Terex Construction Equipment business, builds backhoe loaders, dumpers and rollers. Buyers are groundworks contractors, utilities and hire fleets that want compact dumpers and urban-friendly excavators from one maker.
Ausa vs Thwaites
If you have hired a site dumper in Britain, there is a good chance it was a Thwaites. A focused manufacturer rather than a full-line one, and that focus is why hire fleets keep buying them.
