WL38 Wheel Loader: The plus in performance and comfort

The WL38 wheel loader offers with an extraordinarily high hydraulic output and various motors you can select – both the best values in its performance class. With the P-Z kinematics, the WL38 offers high breakout forces and first-class parallel guidance. All this combined makes for impressive performance, allowing the flexible use of attachments. The machine is ideally equipped for different work tasks. The cab, with its extremely generous design, offers the operator extra comfort and ergonomics and makes working with the machine easy.

Features May Include:

Ergonomic cockpit

• Plenty of legroom, clearly arranged controls, comfortable operator’s seat, and optimal view of the attachment. A work area that motivates the operator and fully supports them.
• The coordinated equipment increases comfort and allows the operator to work optimally with the machine for longer periods of time.

High hydraulic performance

• A Wacker Neuson wheel loader always has enough hydraulic output and is thus suited for the operation of many different attachments, which in turn makes a great variety of applications areas possible.
• The flexible combination with various attachments reduces the total fleet and thus the total cost of ownership (TCO).
• Compact machines with high hydraulic output save money, as it is not necessary to immediately procure or use a bigger machine.

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.

Variety of equipment

• The Wacker Neuson wheel loaders have comprehensive and high-quality standard components. In addition, the engine, drive system, operator's cab, or hydraulics can be individually configured depending on application and model. It is always guaranteed that the machine meets individual requirements and preferences.

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.

100 % connectible differential lock

• The connectible 100% differential lock provides maximum traction and thrusting power when needed. It also keeps tire wear low. This increases the efficiency of the machine.
• During normal operation the differential lock is deactivated, this provides safety, low wear and, as a result, saves in operating costs.

Optimum tires

• The correct tires for a wheel loader play an important role in the actual application. If the tires are optimally matched to the surface and area of use, the driver can work with the machine without any problems.
• Choosing the right tires offers maximum traction and minimum wear, which saves money as the tires do not have to be changed frequently.
• To achieve optimal performance on any subbase, seven treads are available for selection depending on model: EM tread, AS tread, SureTrax tread, RP tread, MPT tread, multi-use tread and Bibload tread. This ensures the maximum flexibility of the machine ex work.

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.

Tiltable cabin and optimal service access

• The cab can be tilted to the side. This allows easy access to the engine, hydraulic system, and electronics. This considerably simplifies checking and maintaining the machine. This in turn results in reduced machine downtimes and thus lower operating costs.
• Quick and easy serviceability automatically maximize the availability of the machine. This in turn reduces total operating costs.

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.
