Technical Description
The Kawasaki 60ZII is a robust wheel loader designed for demanding construction tasks, featuring a 103 hp six-cylinder Isuzu 6BD1 diesel engine with natural aspiration, delivering power at 2400 rpm. It has an operating weight of 18,760 lbs (8,510 kg) and a bucket capacity of 2.1 cubic yards (heaped), with a bucket width of 8.1 ft (2 m) enabling efficient material handling. The breakout force of the bucket is 17,200 lbs (7,802 kg), providing strong digging and loading performance. Its full power-shift transmission offers three forward and three reverse gears, facilitating smooth operation with a maximum travel speed of 20.8 mph (32 kph). The hydraulic system includes a 25 gal/min gear-type pump, with rapid cycle times: 1 second dump, 2.8 seconds lower, and 6 seconds raise, supported by a 3,000 psi relief valve. Dimensions include an overall height of 10 ft (3 m) to the cab roof, a length with the bucket on the ground of 20.7 ft (6 m), a wheelbase of 8.7 ft (2 m), and a turning radius of 17.6 ft (5 m), allowing good maneuverability in tight workspaces. The loader features a 24 V electrical system, a fuel capacity of 46.3 gallons (174 liters), and fluid capacities suitable for engine oil, hydraulic fluid, transmission, cooling, and axles. Tires size is 15.5-25-12PR (L2), built for durability and traction on construction sites. Rear axle oscillation of 24° enhances stability over rough terrain. The Kawasaki 60ZII combines power, efficiency, and durability for versatile use in construction and material handling applications.
