Compact wheel loaders A new line of articulated compact wheel loaders from Wacker are designed to deliver increased performance and are being positioned as an alternative to skid-steer loaders in the landscape, rental and contractor markets. The units feature a tight 45-degree articulation leading to a tight turning radius that provides increased maneuverability. The WL 18, WL 25 and WL 30 (pictured) compact loaders feature operating weights of 1.8, 2.5 and 3 metric-tons respectively. Featuring a ROPS or canopy work platform, the WL 18 can travel at speeds up to 9.5 mph. The WL 25 features a fully articulated tipping capacity of more than 2,950 pounds when using the standard 0.46 cubic yard bucket. The WL 30 compact wheel loader features a straight load capacity of 4,437 pounds and is powered by a 4-cylinder, 48-hp Perkins diesel engine.All three of the wheel loaders are operator-friendly with roomy operator's platform cabs, ergonomically placed controls and 360-degree views from higher work platforms.
           

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 yard. Each unit is compact in size but big on power, performance, maneuverability, operator comfort and safety. The new wheel loaders will also have a complete line of attachment tools available for added versatility on the jobsite.
