It features a Berliet engine delivering a gross power of 251 hp (187 kW) and a net power of 240 hp (179 kW), providing ample power for demanding operations. The loader has a breakout force of 31,473.3 lbs (14,276 kg), enabling efficient digging and loading with its 3.6 cubic yard (2 m³) heaped bucket capacity and 9.1 ft (3 m) bucket width. The bucket can reach a dump clearance of 9.6 ft (3 m) at maximum lift with a hinge pin height of 13 ft (4 m), optimizing load unloading height and reach. Dimensionally, the ZL3000F measures 28.3 ft (9 m) in length with the bucket on the ground, has a height to the top of the cab of 11.2 ft (3 m), a wheelbase of 11.4 ft (3 m), and ground clearance of 1.2 ft (0 m). Its hydraulic system offers efficient cycle times with an 8-second raise and 4.6-second lower time. The loader operates on a full powershift transmission with 4 forward and 4 reverse gears, achieving a maximum speed of 38.6 mph (61 kph) in both directions. The machine weighs 47,620 lbs (21,600 kg) with a static tipping load of 29,762.5 lbs (13,500 kg) and utilizes 23.5R-25 tires suited for heavy terrain. Fuel capacity is 118.9 gallons (447 liters) supporting extended operation. The electrical system runs on 24 V. This powerful and versatile wheel loader is designed for high productivity in rigorous conditions.
