A cleaner environment

The new ZW-5 wheel loader range epitomises our efforts to minimise the impact of construction machinery on the environment in compliance with US EPA Tier 4 Interim / EU Stage IIIB emission regulations.

The ZW-5 has been fitted with a muffler filter to capture air pollutants, which is automatically burnt thanks to an oxidation catalyst and exhaust temperature control. The variable geometry turbocharger – that encourages optimal combustion – and high volume-cooled EGR (Exhaust Gas Recirculation) also help reduce nitrous oxide levels.

All resin parts on the new ZW-5 are suitable for recycling and are clearly marked for ease of separation during recycling. The ECO display indicates ECO drive that results in a fuel-saving performance.

A safer work environment

The operator of the ZW-5 can relax in a safer work environment. The new wheel loader offers excellent visibility from all angles. The view from the cab is enhanced by a windshield without pillars, a large sun visor and additional glass panels in the door.

Looking to the rear of the machine, the counterweight is now visible on both sides, which is particularly useful for working on small job sites. The rear-view monitor allows the operator to see directly behind the machine. The colour display in the front console is easy to view and works automatically when the FNR lever/switch is in reverse position.

Shift-up delay to third gear

This system delays the timing of the shift-up to the third gear to enhance safer operation of the ZW-5 wheel loader in confined spaces. The wheel loader can perform excavating and unloading tasks more safely in first and second gear.

Advanced technology

The quick power switch boosts the power of the ZW-5 wheel loader when required by changing the work mode.

Lower fuel costs

The new ZW-5 wheel loader can work in two modes, which provide an appropriate level of performance for the specific job. One is for regular operations with the benefit of efficient fuel consumption; the other is for more demanding tasks and increases productivity.

High productivity

A new hydraulic circuit facilitates the combined operation of the bucket and lift arm for loading and prioritises the use of the bucket for loading work.

Sustainable operation

A muffler filter captures air pollutants, which are automatically burnt thanks to an oxidation catalyst and exhaust temperature control.

Powerful engine

The 12.9-litre six-cylinder water‑cooled turbo engine enables a powerful digging performance, impressive travel speeds and benefits from excellent fuel consumption.

Heavy-duty axle

Hitachi axles are renowned for high performance and durability – ideal for working on demanding job sites.
