Kawasaki is introducing two new wheel loader models into the compact loader market. The new Kawasaki models, the 42ZV-2, a .78 cu. yd. (.6 cu m) loader, and the 45ZV-2, a 1.18 cu. yd. (.9 cu m) loader, are designed and engineered with all of the performance and reliability of the larger Kawasaki wheel loaders, but in a smaller package, according to the manufacturer.

The loaders’s standard features include hydraulic quick coupler, third spool hydraulics and Kubota engines.

Rugged and Dependable

With Tier IV interim emissions-compliant Kubota engines, heavy box frames and a well balanced design, these compact Kawasaki wheel loaders provide stable, reliable operation. HN Bushing technology, easy access electrical relays and the side-by-side aluminum radiator and oil cooler provide easy access for maintenance.

Operator Comfort

The loaders feature walk-through cab design, easy to read monitors and a rubber-mounted cab engineered to reduce noise and vibration, with a suspension seat and pillar-less full length windows.

The 45ZV-2 features an electronically controlled Hydrostatic powertrain providing quick, smooth acceleration. The wrap-around counterweight allows for a stable, well-balanced loader, according to the manufacturer.

Kawasaki will be located at booth no. 4735 in Central Hall 2 at ConExpo-Con/AGG in March.
