1968-1981 WACKER NEUSON WL60 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Wacker Neuson WL60 is a compact wheel loader engineered for versatility and efficiency in material handling and landscaping applications. Powered by a robust 102 horsepower Perkins 854F-E34TA diesel engine with four cylinders operating at 2,500 rpm, this machine delivers impressive breakout force of 7,898 pounds-feet. The hydrostatic drive system provides precise, smooth movement with a maximum travel speed of 12 mph and a tight turning radius of 5.5 feet, making it highly maneuverable in confined spaces. The WL60 features a 1.5 cubic yard bucket with a 33-degree dumping angle, ideal for efficient material loading and transport. Its operational envelope spans 19.4 feet in length with bucket extended and 8.9 feet in height, with a track width of 56 inches providing stability across varying terrain. The machine maintains a compact overall footprint at 15.7 feet long with a 5.5-foot turning radius, enabling operation in tight job sites. The hydraulic system supplies 26 gallons per minute at a maximum relief pressure of 6,454 psi, delivering controlled performance for loader and attachment functions. Fuel and hydraulic capacities of 27.8 gallons and 25.1 gallons respectively ensure extended operational periods between service intervals. At 13,007 pounds operating weight, the WL60 balances power with portability, while ergonomic cab design and multiple attachment options establish it as a highly adaptable multi-purpose tool carrier.
