2005-2012 ZETTELMEYER ZL18D WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Zettelmeyer ZL18D is a compact wheel loader designed for efficient material handling with a breakout force of 12,769 lbs (5,792 kg) and a heaped bucket capacity of 1.2 cubic yards (1 m³). The bucket measures 6.8 ft (2 m) in width and offers a dump clearance of 8.4 ft (2 m) at maximum raise. The loader features a Deutz F4L912 engine with a displacement of 230.1 cu in, delivering 79 hp (59 kW) gross power and 62.5 hp (46 kW) net power at 2,500 rpm, supported by a four-cylinder configuration and peak torque at 1,600 rpm. Its hydrostatic transmission provides a maximum forward and reverse speed of 12.5 mph (19 kph). The hydraulic system incorporates a gear-type pump with a flow capacity of 21.2 gal/min (79 l/min), delivering fast cycle times including a 1-second dump, 3.5-second lower, and 6-second raise time, with a relief valve setting at 2,900 psi. The ZL18D has an operating weight of approximately 12,588 lbs (5,710 kg) and a compact footprint with a wheelbase of 6.9 ft (2 m), ground clearance of 1.8 ft (0.55 m), and overall length of 17.8 ft (5.4 m) with bucket on ground. The machine’s height to the top of the cab is 9.7 ft (3 m) and the maximum hinge pin height is 10.5 ft (3.2 m). It features all-wheel drive with hydraulically operated differential locks and a 26° rear axle oscillation for improved traction and terrain adaptability. Fuel, hydraulic, and oil capacities align with industrial standards to ensure robust operation in diverse construction and loading environments.
