The outstanding performance of Kawasaki wheel

loaders has been proven all over the world.

Continuous improvement in quality since its release,

the Kawasaki wheel loaders offer long service life and
outstanding productivity.

Kawasaki, a major Japanese manufacturer of wheel

loaders for over half of a century combines innovative
technologies and real world experience to produce
the finest wheel loader in the industry.

Simple and straight forward, Kawasaki eliminates

excessive functions to enhance productivity,
durability, reliability, and lower operating costs.

Overall simple design makes maintenance easier and

reduces costs.

Kawasaki focuses on simple design to offer the highest

reliability and the easiest maintenance with minimum
down time.

"Kawasaki Made" major components such as the

transmission, axle and hydraulic valve are developed
and manufactured by experienced personnel that
concentrate their knowledge and technologies to
produce the best components for Kawasaki wheel
loaders.

JAPANESE ENGINE WITH
MECHANICAL GOVERNOR
Japanese engines provide a high quality source of power. Time-proven, high quality
mechanical engine governor minimizes maintenance requirements. Compared with
electronic controlled high pressure fuel injection system, a wide range of fuel and
engine oil can be used. The engine does not require any special diagnostic
equipment or computer for service.

*For the range of fuel, please consult your local Kawasaki dealer.

BEST OF BOTH WORLDS,

PRODUCTIVE AND DEPENDABLE
HOIST ARM & BUCKET
With strong and robust hoist arms and linkage, Kawasaki
loaders perform well in a wide variety of applications. High
breakout force and excellent bucket rollback mean bigger
loads and better load retention. Buckets are designed for
easy loading and are equipped with bolt-on cutting edges or
teeth for easy changing. The bucket leveler and boom
kickout are standard.

SEALED BUCKET HINGE PIN

The special seal in the bucket
hinge pin provides excellent
sealing and grease retention
which extends pin life.

Sealed pin HYDRAULIC GEAR PUMP

A proven gear pump is the heart of the hydraulic system.

conditions. Its simple structure makes maintenance cost low.

INCREASED GREASING
INTERVALS FOR UNIVERSAL JOINTS
Sealed universal joints only require greasing every
12000hours. This reduces maintenance costs significantly
and provides greater durability.

BUFFER RINGS IN HYDRAULIC CYLINDER

The hydraulic cylinders utilize a buffer ring to improve
sealing capability to reduce leakage.

RIDE CONTROL (OPT)

Ride Control provides stable load handling during load and
carry operation. It reduces bouncing of the equipment while
traveling, improves safety, productivity and operator comfort.
The system comes with speed sensitive, automatic on/off
feature.
