B&S 23 HP — 3,262 lbf Force — External Hose Maintenance — High-Flow Hydraulics

AHM’s most powerful compact excavator. The AX-16 steps up to a 23 HP B&S engine delivering 35 lb-ft of torque and 3,262 lbf (14.5 kN) of bucket digging force — 61% more force than the AX-12C. External hydraulic hoses enable easy maintenance access, while enhanced hydraulics support high-flow attachments including augers, rippers, and mulcher heads. Black and yellow livery, sturdy steel construction.

Key Features

23 HP — Most Powerful in the AHM Range

B&S 23 HP engine with 35 lb-ft of torque at 3,060 RPM — significantly more power than the 13.5 HP engines in the AX-12 series. More horsepower means faster digging cycles, better performance in harder ground conditions, and the ability to run high-flow attachments with full authority.

3,262 lbf Digging Force

Maximum bucket digging force of 3,262 lbf (14.5 kN) — 61% more than the AX-12C’s 2,023 lbf. Handles compact clay, hardpan, and rocky ground conditions that the lighter AX-12 series struggles with. The step-up machine for demanding daily excavation.

External Hydraulic Hoses — Easy Maintenance

External hydraulic hose routing provides quick access for routine checks and maintenance without disassembling body panels. Easily accessible component compartment minimises downtime and keeps the machine running at peak performance on busy job sites.

Enhanced Hydraulics — High-Flow Attachment Ready

Enhanced hydraulic system supporting high-flow attachments — augers, rippers, and mulcher heads compatible (not included). More power behind the hydraulics at 23 HP means faster, more capable attachment performance than the AX-12 platform.

Larger Fuel Tank — 8 L

8 L fuel tank vs the 6.6 L on the AX-12 series. More fuel capacity for extended daily operation without mid-shift refuelling stops — important given the higher fuel consumption at 23 HP (~1.5 L/hr vs ~1 L/hr).

Cut & Wear Resistant Rubber Tracks

16.2 in. ground clearance on heavy-duty rubber tracks for operation on turf, paved surfaces, rocky terrain, and indoor flooring without damage. 48.5 in. track length for a stable, balanced footprint under heavier digging loads.
