KAWASAKI 85ZIV WHEEL LOADER

The Kawasaki 85ZIV is a heavy-duty wheel loader engineered for robust material handling with an operating weight of approximately 43,233 lbs (19,610 kg). Powered by a turbocharged Cummins M11-C engine, it delivers 226 hp (169 kW) and high torque at 723 lb-ft, optimized for demanding tasks. The machine’s hydraulic system includes a gear-type pump with a flow capacity of 19.5 gallons per minute and a relief valve setting of 3000 psi, enabling precise and efficient lifting operations with a breakout force of 41,225 lbs (18,700 kg). The loader features a large bucket capacity of 4.4 cubic yards (heaped) with a 10.2-foot (3 m) width, allowing substantial material volume handling. Its maximum hinge pin height reaches 13.6 feet (4 m), providing significant lifting reach, complemented by a dump clearance of 9.9 feet (3 m). Dimensions focus on operational stability and manoeuvrability, with a wheelbase of 10.9 feet (3 m), ground clearance near 1.8 feet, width over tires of 9.7 feet, and a total length of 26.3 feet with the bucket on the ground. The Kawasaki 85ZIV employs a full powershift transmission with four forward and four reverse speeds, achieving maximum travel speeds up to 21.1 mph forward and 21.6 mph reverse, enhancing cycle times and versatility on site. The robust 24V electrical system includes a 75-amp alternator, supporting onboard systems reliably. Fluid capacities are generous, ensuring extended operation, with fuel at 79.3 gallons and hydraulic system at 55.5 gallons. Overall, the 85ZIV balances power, capacity, and control for efficient heavy lifting and loading applications in construction and industrial environments.
