WL250 Wheel Loader: Compact and powerful

The WL250 wheel loader has an overall lower height and compact dimensions. As a result, the machine can pass through clearance heights of below 78.74 in without the need to fold down the operator's canopy. The machine’s low center of gravity ensures very good stability and allows the handling of heavy loads. The wheel hub drive also includes the powerful and efficient drive concept, with which all four wheels are directly driven. This purely hydraulic wheel hub drive ensures an increase in efficiency, excellent acceleration, and therefore enables a responsive driving behavior as well as high thrust power.

Features May Include:

Powerful wheel hub drive

• With this drive concept, 4 wheel hub motors are mounted directly on the wheels. This means that each wheel has its own motor, which directly drives the respective wheel.
• The wheel hub motors are driven directly by the travel hydraulic pump, eliminating mechanical losses. The wheel hub motors are also protected against pressure peaks by a high-pressure safeguard. An anti-cavitation valve between the wheel hub motors optimizes the oil supply when cornering.
• This drive system is beneficial for machines up to a 6.614 lb operating weight. As a result of the purely hydraulic drive system, there is no loss of performance through axles or transmission. The wheel hub drive furthermore enables high pushing power, excellent acceleration, and responsive driving behavior.

Construction height under 78.7 in

• The lower operator seat position makes a lower construction height of the machine possible. As a result, low passageways of under 78.7 in can be passed without any effort and with a fixed operator's canopy or cabin.
• Additional advantages of the low design include a machine center of gravity close to the ground for greater stability and easy machine entry.

Compact dimensions for optimal maneuverability

• The compact design of the machine is impressive with its small radius and excellent maneuverability. This means that even work in confined spaces is no problem.
• Compact dimensions and optimum maneuverability ensure a high degree of control. The machine is not unnecessarily wide or long; the space available and the size of the machine are always optimally utilized.

Easy entry and exit

• In just a few steps, the operator can comfortably enter the cab or operator's platform of the machine. This is made possible by the large, non-slip steps and the easy-to-reach handholds. This increases operator safety when getting in and out of the machine.

Engine without exhaust after-treatment

• The big advantage of the motor installed in the machine is that it complies with exhaust gas standard stage V, yet it does not require any exhaust after treatment at all. This engine version is thus well-suited for light applications, like the simple handling of materials .
• The 3-cylinder common rail engine is characterized by its high level of torque and efficiency. As no exhaust after-treatment is required for this engine, the maintenance costs are automatically reduced.

Maximum traction thanks to articulated pendulum joint

• Because of the articulated pendulum joint with 12° oscillating angle, all four wheels retain excellent traction, even on uneven ground conditions and the operator maintains optimal control. This increases the productivity of the entire machine system.
• The large articulation and pendulum angle ensures high traction on the ground, making the machine easy to maneuver. As a result, there is no collision between the front and rear sections of the machine in confined conditions.
• And because the front and rear carriages can oscillate independently of each other, the operator can sensitively react to any unevenness. This increases operator comfort and enables fatigue-free work over longer periods.

High-quality powder coating

• Compared to conventional wet painting, powder coating considerably extends the service life of the machine and is also environmentally friendly.
• The durable powder coating guarantees value retention and ensures an accordingly high resale value for the machine.

Perfectly tuned kinematics

• The kinematics are adapted to the size of the machine - this ensures optimum force ratios and maximum productivity for every machine.
• The optimum coordination and processing quality of the loader arm design and hydraulic cylinders increases the longevity of the machine and thus offers added value for the customer, as working efficiency is increased.
• The theoretical maximum possible lifting capacity of the machine is always greater than the actual tipping load. The large hydraulic cylinders therefore always offer sufficient reserves and the cylinders are not operated at maximum capacity.

The wheel loader as an attachment carrier

• The tasks for wheel loaders are varied and so are the attachments from Wacker Neuson. With our comprehensive and sophisticated product range of attachments, any model can become a multifunctional machine.
• The investment asset “wheel loader” can be used for a variety of task areas and is thus very economical.
• The machine can be used all year round (e.g. even for winter service), relying on many different attachments depending on the application.

Comfortable Cab

• The spacious and comfortable cab meets the current European Machinery Directive in accordance with ROPS and FOPS protection and offers plenty of headroom and freedom of movement. This provides an excellent overview of the attachments, the immediate working area, and the entire machine surroundings, which in turn increases occupational safety as the operator always has the machine surroundings within view.
• The cab's full glazing and deeply recessed windows give the operator an excellent view of the attachment and the entire work area. This ensures safety, as the operator always has a clear view of the work environment.
• The cab impresses with outstanding ergonomics, generous space and many individual adjustment options for the operator. The cab provides protection from wind, weather, and external environmental conditions. This allows fatigue-free work even over a longer period of time.

Split hydraulic hoses

• Wacker Neuson wheel loaders are designed with short hydraulic hose lengths in mind, and the hoses are split at several points. Therefore, if a hydraulic hose needs replacing, only the affected part will need to be replaced, not the entire hose in the hydraulic circuit. This speeds up repair times enormously and is also cost-efficient.

Inch brake pedal: Engine output where it is needed.

• 1. No pressure on inch brake pedal: full power for the drive system 2. Slightly depressed inch-brake pedal: speed is reduced, more power to the work hydraulics. 3. Firmly depressed brake-inch pedal: The speed is reduced further, even more power to the work hydraulics. 4. Fully depressed inch-brake pedal: the wheel loader stands still, full power to the work hydraulics.
• The advantages of the inch-brake pedal are obvious: less wear on the operating brake and optimum power distribution of the engine output.

Flat-Face Hydraulic Couplings

• Easy exchange of attachments: The flat-face hydraulic couplings are easy to clean and ensure less contamination throughout the hydraulic system. Hardly any leakage occurs when connecting hydraulic hoses, keeping hands, the machine, the attachment and the ground clean.
• Flat-face hydraulic couplers also allow attachments to be connected under pressure, saving time. All coupling types are mounted on the same bulkhead for easy access.
