2017-2023 KAWASAKI 135ZIV-2 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Kawasaki 135ZIV-2 is a heavy-duty wheel loader designed for high productivity and durability. It features a turbocharged and after-cooled QST30 engine with 12 cylinders, delivering 720 hp (537 kW) at 2100 rpm and peak torque at 1300 rpm. The machine has an operating weight of approximately 174,275 lbs (79,051 kg) which supports its robust build and stability. Its bucket has a heaped capacity of 13.5 cubic yards (10 m³) and a struck capacity of 11.6 cubic yards (8 m³), with a width of 14.6 ft (4 m), suitable for large volume loading tasks. The breakout force is notably high at 156,526 lbs (71,000 kg), enabling it to handle heavy loads efficiently. The 135ZIV-2's hydraulic system employs piston-type pumps with a flow capacity of 86.1 gal/min (326 L/min), supporting fast cycle times including a dump time of 1.6 seconds and a raise time of 9.8 seconds, with a relief valve set at 4550 psi. The transmission is a full powershift type, featuring 4 forward and 3 reverse gears, with max speeds of 18.8 mph forward and 17 mph reverse, offering excellent maneuverability with a turning radius of 31.8 ft (9 m). The loader's dimensions include a length of 40.8 ft (12 m), width over tires of 13.7 ft (4 m), height to top of cab of 16.3 ft (5 m), and maximum hinge pin height of 19.9 ft (6 m). Additional features include a fuel capacity of 277.4 gal (1,048 L), substantial fluid capacities for engine oil, hydraulic fluid, and axles, and a rear axle oscillation of 22°. The machine's operational voltage is 24 V, and it employs advanced systems such as the Efficient Loading System (ELS) to reduce fuel consumption and the Machine Operation Diagnostic Module (MODM) for optimized maintenance and reliability.
