2026 Wacker Neuson ET40

ET40 Tracked Conventional Excavator: Balancing performance and size

The ET40 was designed to enhance productivity by providing strong digging performance, smooth hydraulics and a standard dozer blade with float to support faster cycle times and efficient grading on the jobsite. Operator comfort is kept at the forefront with the spacious cab, ergonomic layout of controls and the new touchscreen display allowing for operator customization. All service checkpoints can be quickly accessed behind lockable doors helping minimized downtime and simplifies routine maintenance.

Features May Include:

Cabin Comfort

• Step into a cab designed around operator comfort and convenience. The wide entrance provides effortless access, while the flat floor creates an open, spacious environment with ample room to move. Ergonomically positioned footrests enhance comfort during long workdays, and folding drive pedals maximize floor space when not in use. Every detail is engineered to deliver a more comfortable, productive operating experience from the moment you climb in.
• Auxiliary hydraulic functions are conveniently located on the joystick for smooth, precise attachment control, while all major buttons and switches are positioned within easy reach on the operator's right side. This intuitive layout improves comfort, reduces operator fatigue, and increases efficiency on every job.

Intuitive Touchscreen Display

• Stay informed and in control with a user-friendly touchscreen display that puts essential machine information and settings at your fingertips. Monitor oil and coolant temperatures, fuel level, operating hours, and DPF status in real time. Easily adjust hydraulic settings, configure joystick controls for ISO or SAE patterns, fine-tune attachment hydraulic flow, and quickly access diagnostic error codes.
• The display also simplifies fleet management by allowing operator's customizable PIN codes to be added and managed directly from the screen, enhancing both convenience and machine security.

Load Sensing Flow Sharing

• Load Sensing Flow Sharing enables precise and efficient control of the excavator. The machine adjusts to the load and the joystick movements are always kept the same for the operator.
• The hydraulics work more efficiently, saving energy and ultimately costs. But it also makes operation easier for the operator.
• Load-sensing systems help to regulate the flow rate according to demand. The less power is used, the lower the fuel consumption.

Exceptional Visibility

• Excellent forward visibility provides clear sightlines to the front of the tracks and dozer blade for precise operation and improved safety. A lower right-side window enhances visibility to the machine's front right corner, reducing blind spots when working close to obstacles.
• The four-position front window opens to provide improved visibility, increased airflow, and easier communication with ground personnel, helping operators stay productive and aware throughout the workday.

Easy maintenance and serviceability

• A wide-opening, lockable rear service door provides outstanding access to the reliable Yanmar diesel engine and routine service points, making daily inspections and maintenance quick and convenient. Key components including the oil fill and dipstick, air filter and fuel/water separator are all easily accessible, helping reduce service time, simplify maintenance, and maximize machine uptime.
• The lockable side service hood provides convenient access to routine maintenance points, with the fuel tank, hydraulic oil, coolant and windshield washer fluid all grouped together for quick inspections and fast refills.
• The removable cab floor mat and base plate provide fast, convenient access to the main hydraulic valve and hose connections. This smart design simplifies inspections, troubleshooting, and repairs, reducing service time and helping keep your machine working at peak performance.

Hydraulic thumb

• The optional hydraulic thumb offers, beside a conventional bucket application, a grip function, which expands the spectrum of applications.
• With this additional grip function, material can be cleared away quite easily.

Innovative front windshield system

• The windshields can be adjusted to any condition on the construction site. Closed, they are water- and windproof. The upper front window can be pushed under the cabin roof. The lower pane serves as splash protection. The lower windshield slides behind the upper window, making it ideal for talking with colleagues. If necessary, both windows are pushed below the cabin roof, where they are stored safely.
• The two-part front window allows for optimal ventilation in the cab in any weather. In addition, it makes it easier to communicate with the operator. Removal and storage of the windshield is a thing of the past.
• Significantly lower risk of damage or loss; higher level of operating comfort

Jog dial

• The jog dial system, familiar from the automotive area, including a clear display, allows intuitive selection of the right operating settings via a press-push button as well as various settings via a keypad. ECO mode is the standard mode for efficient and fuel-saving work; HI mode stands for maximum pump performance and fast, powerful work and LOW mode for extremely precise, sensitive work.
