KAWASAKI 70ZIV WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Kawasaki 70ZIV is a durable wheel loader engineered for heavy-duty construction tasks, featuring a turbocharged and aftercooled B5.9-C six-cylinder engine producing 160 hp at 2400 rpm with a torque of 490 lb-ft at 1500 rpm. It delivers a breakout force of 27,775 lbs (12,599 kg) for efficient material handling. The loader's bucket capacity is 3.3 cubic yards heaped and 2.8 cubic yards struck, with an 8.8-foot-wide bucket. The machine offers a maximum dump clearance of 8.9 feet and a hinge pin height of 12.5 feet, facilitating high lift capabilities. Its operating weight is approximately 28,528 lbs (12,940 kg), with a static tipping weight of 22,024 lbs (9,990 kg). The loader measures 24.5 feet in length with the bucket on the ground, 11 feet in height to the top of the cab, and 8.5 feet in width over tires. It has a wheelbase of 10.1 feet and a turning radius of 19.9 feet, promoting maneuverability on site. The hydraulic system operates with a gear-type pump delivering 13 gallons per minute at 3000 psi, with quick cycle times: 6.2 seconds to raise, 3.1 seconds to lower, and 1.2 seconds to dump. Additional features include a full powershift transmission with four forward and four reverse gears, enabling speeds up to 23 mph in both directions. The loader runs on a 24V electrical system with a 65-amp alternator and holds 58.2 gallons of fuel capacity. Tire size is 20.5x25-12PR (L-2), and rear axle oscillation is 24°, optimizing stability and traction across rough terrain. This combination of power, capacity, and agility makes the Kawasaki 70ZIV a versatile and reliable asset for demanding construction operations.
