Wacker recently introduced a line of five new compact hydraulic excavators to the U.S. market — models 1404, 3503, 38Z3, 50Z3 and 8003. These new excavators range in approximate transport weight from 3,100 to 16,800 pounds and in maximum digging depth (with standard dipperstick) from 10.6 to 14.1 feet. Optional long dippersticks for the four larger models yield maximum digging depths of 11.6 to 15 feet. Horsepower ratings range from 24.3 to 69.5, and the new machines use either a three- or four-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine. Models 38Z3 and 50Z3 are zero-tail-swing units, and the 8003 is designated a short-tail-swing model. All units include rubber tracks, dozer blades, boom-mounted working lights and a control pattern selection system.

The new line of wheel loaders includes four articulated units and two all-wheel-steer machines with standard bucket capacities of 0.26 to 1.1 cubic yards. The five new excavators range in size from 1.4 to 8 metric tons and feature models that range from a mini-sized unit to units with high-output engines as well as zero-tail-swing models. The three new dumpers feature payload capacities of 2,205 to 13,228 pounds.

Wacker recently introduced three new compact dumpers to the U.S. market, models 1001, 3001 and 6001. The 1001 mini-dumper is equipped with a hydrostatic, four-wheel-drive propel system and has a payload capacity of 2,205 pounds. The 1001 uses a three-cylinder, 16.5-horsepower Yanmar diesel engine. The 3001 is a mid-range dumper that will haul a payload of 6,614 pounds. It features hydrostatic, permanent, four-wheel drive and develops 48.8 horsepower from its four-cylinder Yanmar diesel engine. The 6001 can move a payload of 13,227 pounds, and it uses an 82-horsepower Perkins diesel engine. The 6001 can dump both forward or to either side via its swivel feature.
