KAWASAKI 80ZV WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Kawasaki 80ZV is a heavy-duty wheel loader designed for robust construction and material handling tasks. It features a powerful 6-cylinder, turbocharged, and intercooled 6CTAA8.3 engine producing 208 hp at 2200 rpm and peak torque of 704 lb-ft at 1500 rpm. The loader operates at a weight of approximately 38,867 lbs (17,630 kg) and has a full powershift transmission with 4 forward and 4 reverse gears, allowing maximum speeds of 22.9 mph forward and 23.2 mph reverse. It is equipped with a 4.2 cubic yard heaped capacity bucket (3.6 cu yd struck) with a 9.2 ft (3 m) width and breakout force of 36,140 lbs, capable of high productivity in loading and digging applications. Key dimensions include an overall length of 26.6 ft (8 m) with the bucket on the ground, width of 8.8 ft (2.7 m) over tires, height to top of cab at 11.4 ft (3.5 m), hinge pin max height of 13.5 ft (4.1 m), and a turning radius of 21 ft (6.4 m). The wheelbase measures 10.5 ft (3.2 m) with a ground clearance of 1.6 ft (0.5 m). The hydraulic system features a gear-type pump with 17 gal/min flow capacity, operating at 3000 psi relief pressure, providing dump, raise, and lower cycle times of 1.4, 6.2, and 3.4 seconds respectively. Fuel capacity is 63.5 gallons, hydraulic fluid 42.3 gallons, and other fluid capacities support continuous operation. The wheel loader rides on 23.5x25 L3 tires suited for diverse terrains, while the 24° rear axle oscillation enhances maneuverability. The machine operates on 24 V electrical system with a 70-amp alternator, making the Kawasaki 80ZV a balanced and efficient loader for medium to large-scale earthmoving needs.
