The Kawasaki 60ZV wheel loader features a robust BB 6BG1T naturally aspirated 6-cylinder engine delivering 119 hp (89 kW) at 2200 rpm, with peak torque of 347 lb-ft at 1600 rpm. It operates on a 24V electrical system with a 50A alternator. The hydraulic system includes a gear-type pump with 31 gal/min flow capacity and 3000 psi relief valve setting, enabling a dump time of 1.2 seconds, lower time of 3 seconds, and raise time of 6 seconds. The machine weighs 20,026.8 lbs (9,084 kg) with a static tipping load of 17,416.6 lbs (7,900 kg), and a turning radius of 17.8 ft (5.4 m). Bucket capacity measures 2.3 cubic yards (heaped) with a width of 8.1 ft (2.0 m), a breakout force of 18,500 lbs (8,392 kg), and dump clearance at max raise of 9 ft (2.7 m). The loader’s dimensions include 21.9 ft (6.7 m) length with bucket on ground, 7.6 ft (2.3 m) width over tires, 10.3 ft (3.1 m) height to top of cab, and 1.4 ft (0.43 m) ground clearance. Wheelbase is 8.9 ft (2.7 m). It runs on 15.5x25-12PR (L-2) tires. The full power-shift transmission offers 3 forward and 3 reverse gears, with max speeds of 21.1 mph (34 kph) in both directions. Fluid capacities include 46.3 gallons fuel, 14.6 gallons coolant, 26.5 gallons hydraulic fluid, and 3.5 gallons engine oil. Rear axle oscillation is 24 degrees for improved terrain adaptability. The 60ZV’s design emphasizes performance, durability, and serviceability, fitting a wide range of loading and earthmoving applications.
