Technical Description

The Kawasaki 65ZII is a compact yet powerful wheel loader engineered for demanding construction and material handling applications. It features a robust Isuzu 6-cylinder, naturally aspirated 6BG1 engine delivering 108 hp at 2350 rpm and peak torque at 1500 rpm, ensuring efficient power delivery for heavy-duty tasks. The machine has a breakout force of 21,950 lbs and operates with a 2.3 cubic yard heaped bucket capacity and 2 cubic yard struck capacity, supported by an 8.1 ft wide bucket for effective material movement. In terms of dimensions, the 65ZII measures 22.3 ft in length with the bucket on the ground, 7.8 ft width over tires, and 10.5 ft height to the top of the cab, maintaining a ground clearance of 1.3 ft. It offers a maximum hinge pin height of 11.9 ft and a dump clearance at max raise of 9 ft, facilitating versatile loading heights. The machine’s operating weight is approximately 21,450 lbs, balanced on a 9.6 ft wheelbase with 17.5-25-12PR tires and a turning radius of 18.7 ft. The hydraulic system features a 10.6 gal/min gear-type pump with a relief valve set at 2770 psi, offering quick cycle times including a 1.2-second dump time and 5.8-second raise time. The 65ZII’s transmission offers four full power shift gears forward and reverse, reaching maximum speeds of 24.2 mph in both directions. Operating on a 24V system, it is equipped with a 40A alternator and carries sufficient fluid capacities for cooling, engine oil, fuel, and hydraulics to ensure reliable continuous operation. Its 30° rear axle oscillation enhances stability and traction on uneven terrain, making it a versatile loader for construction work.
