Technical Description

The Wacker Neuson WL38 is a compact, high-performance wheel loader engineered for versatility and efficiency in tight workspaces. It features a 74-hp Deutz TCD 2.9 L4 turbocharged diesel engine with 4 cylinders and 135.2 cu in displacement, delivering power at 2600 rpm and maximizing fuel efficiency. The hydrostatic all-wheel-drive system ensures excellent traction and precise control, complemented by a hydraulic pump flow capacity of 14.6 gal/min at a relief valve pressure of 6454 psi. The WL38 offers a maximum breakout force of 9280 lbs/ft and a lifting force up to 4850 lbs (2,200 kg), suitable for heavy lifting and material handling tasks. The machine’s bucket has a heaped capacity of 0.8 cubic yards and a dumping angle of 42°. It includes a 17.2-gallon fuel tank and a 13.3-gallon hydraulic oil tank. Its compact dimensions—14.1 ft length with bucket on ground, 8.3 ft height at cab top, 5.2 ft width over tires, 6.8 ft wheelbase, and a tight turning radius of 5.4 ft—allow for agile operation in confined areas. The operating weight is approximately 9,259 lbs, with a maximum speed of 12.4 mph. Designed with P-Z kinematics for high lift and tear-out forces, the WL38 blends power, maneuverability, and operator comfort. Features such as a spacious ergonomic cab and fast hydraulic cycles improve productivity on-site. Its robust construction and compact size make it ideal for construction, landscaping, and agricultural applications requiring precise material handling combined with strong performance.
