2014 - 2017 KAWASAKI 65ZIV WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Kawasaki 65ZIV is a versatile mid-size wheel loader engineered for demanding construction and material handling applications. Powered by a naturally aspirated Cummins B5.9-C diesel engine producing 134 horsepower at 2400 rpm, this machine delivers robust performance across diverse job sites. The loader features a 2.7 cubic yard heaped bucket capacity with a commanding 21,400-pound breakout force, enabling efficient loading and transportation of aggregates, soil, and other bulk materials. Dimensionally compact yet capable, the 65ZIV measures 23 feet in overall length with an 8.1-foot bucket width, providing excellent maneuverability in confined spaces. The 10.5-foot cab height and 11.9-foot maximum hinge pin height accommodate standard dump truck beds while maintaining operational visibility. With an operating weight of 22,509 pounds and a static tipping weight of 17,747 pounds, the machine offers superior stability and load capacity. The transmission features a full powershift system with four forward and reverse gears, delivering maximum speeds of 23.1 mph in both directions. The hydraulic system utilizes a gear-type pump with 15.3 gallons-per-minute flow capacity and 2,770 psi relief valve setting, enabling rapid cycle times: 1.2-second dump, 5.8-second raise, and 2.9-second lower operations. A 47.6-gallon fuel tank and 26.5-gallon hydraulic reservoir support extended operational periods. The 24-degree rear axle oscillation enhances traction and stability on uneven terrain, while the 18.8-foot turning radius facilitates navigation in tight working areas.
