Powered by a 4-cylinder Perkins 404 C-22 diesel engine delivering 48 hp (36 kW), the WL30 features hydrostatic four-wheel drive and a 2-speed transmission, enabling smooth operation and a maximum forward speed of 12.4 mph (19 km/h). The loader boasts a bucket capacity of 0.6 cu yds (0.45 m³) and a breakout force of 9,089 lbs (4,123 kg), ensuring strong digging and lifting capabilities. The hydraulic system utilizes a gear pump with a flow capacity of 13 gal/min (49 l/min) and a relief valve setting of 3,045 psi for reliable performance. With a dump clearance at max raise of 8 ft (2 m) and a hinge pin max height of 10.6 ft (3 m), the WL30 is well-suited for overhead loading tasks. The machine has an operating weight of 6,856.4 lbs (3,110 kg) and a static tipping weight of 4,438 lbs (2,013 kg), providing stability during operation. The wheelbase measures 5.7 ft (2 m), and the turning radius is 10.3 ft (3 m), allowing for excellent maneuverability in confined spaces. The loader is equipped with a rear axle oscillation of 24° for improved traction on uneven terrain. Fuel capacity is 14.1 gal (53 l), and the hydraulic system fluid capacity is 8.5 gal (30 l). The overall length with bucket on ground is 15 ft (5 m), and the width over tires is 4.5 ft (1 m), making it suitable for a wide range of jobsite requirements.
