The Wacker Neuson WL18 is a compact 1.8-ton wheel loader engineered for confined jobsites and tight working environments. Powered by a 3-cylinder Perkins 403C-11 diesel engine delivering 24.8 horsepower at 2,800 rpm, this articulated loader features exceptional maneuverability with a tight 8.4-foot turning radius and narrow 3.5-foot profile. The machine generates 2,792 pounds of breakout force and boasts 4,145 pounds of hydraulic lifting capacity, enabling efficient material handling despite its compact footprint. Its 0.3 cubic yard bucket reaches a maximum dump height of 6.8 feet, with hinge pin height extending to 9 feet for versatile loading applications. The hydrostatic all-wheel-drive transmission with automotive-style controls ensures smooth operation and optimal traction across diverse terrains. The hydraulic system incorporates an 8.7 gallon-per-minute gear pump operating at 2,828 psi relief pressure, supported by a 4.8-gallon fluid capacity. At just 4,056.6 pounds operating weight with 1,840 kilograms, the WL18 maintains exceptional portability while delivering professional-grade performance. Standard equipment includes 27x10.5-15 earthmoving tires, 360-degree visibility from the ROPS cabin, and a 5.6-gallon fuel capacity providing extended runtime. The 24-degree rear axle oscillation enhances stability on uneven surfaces, making this loader ideal for construction, landscaping, and demolition applications where space constraints demand compact yet powerful equipment.
