The Kawasaki 115ZV-2 is a heavy-duty wheel loader engineered for demanding construction and mining applications. It features a powerful Cummins QSK19 turbocharged engine delivering a gross power of 506 hp (377 kW) and a net power of 463 hp (345 kW) at 1800 rpm, with peak torque of 1908 lb-ft (2755 N·m) at 1300 rpm. The hydraulic system includes a gear-type pump with a flow capacity of 61 gal/min (231 l/min), operating at a relief valve setting of 3000 psi, enabling efficient bucket cycling times—raise in 8.4 seconds, dump in 1.7 seconds, and lower in 5 seconds. The loader’s breakout force is 86,900 lbs (39,418 kg), with a heaped bucket capacity of 8.5 cubic yards (6 m³) and a bucket width of 12.4 feet (4 m). Dimensionally, the 115ZV-2 offers a wheelbase of 13.7 feet (4 m), an overall length with the bucket on the ground of 35.7 feet (11 m), and a top cab height of 13.6 feet (4 m). The machine maintains a ground clearance of 1.7 feet (0.5 m) and a turning radius of 27.5 feet (8 m). Its operating weight is approximately 102,710 lbs (46,589 kg), with a static tipping load of 71,960 lbs (32,641 kg). The transmission is a full powershift type with four forward and three reverse gears, delivering a max forward speed of 22.4 mph (36 kph) and a max reverse speed of 4.7 mph (6 kph). The machine operates at 24 V with a 75 A alternator and has substantial fluid capacities, including 174.4 gal (660 l) fuel, 125.5 gal (473 l) hydraulic oil, and 38.4 gal (144 l) cooling fluid. Tires are sized 35/65-33 VSDL (L-5), optimized for heavy load support and traction. This robust wheel loader is designed for high productivity, durability, and ease of maintenance in harsh environments.
