Wheel loader WL44: Durable and productive

With the entry-level models by Wacker Neuson, you don’t have to do without – especially when it comes to performance. The durable and sophisticated technology of the WL44 wheel loader has proven itself in many applications. This makes it a particularly reliable performance machine in volume business – a cost-benefit calculation that works out. The WL44 is the perfect machine for material transport.

High productivity thanks to the low front carriage

The low front carriage makes high tipping loads and break out forces possible; this way, the maximum load per work cycle can be moved.
The low front carriage provides for an outstanding overview of the attachment, the immediate work area and the entire surroundings of the machine, which guarantees safe working with the machine.
On the WL25 and WL28 the auxiliary hydraulics at the front of the loading arm is protected by piping (3rd control circuit, 4th control circuit, 4th control circuit). control circuit, leakage oil line, pressureless return). This is a unique selling point in the loading class, minimizing wear and tear and thus increasing the machine's durability.

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 significantly extends the service life of the machine and is environmentally friendly at the same time.
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.

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.

Performance

Perfectly tuned kinematics

The kinematics are adapted to the size of the machine - this ensures optimum force ratios and maximum productivity for each machine.
The optimal matching and quality of workmanship of the loader boom design and hydraulic cylinders increases the machine's longevity and thus provides added value for the customer by increasing efficiency when working.
The theoretical maximum possible lifting capacity of the machine is always greater than the actual tipping load. The large hydraulic cylinders thus always offer enough reserves and the cylinders are not operated at maximum.

30 km/h speed

With the appropriate engine, the machine reaches a speed up to 30 km/h. This allows the machine to move from A to B more quickly, saving time and increasing efficiency.

Safety

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.

Maintenance

Easily accessible machine components.

Regularly lubricating all lubrication points is essential for the correct and effective maintenance and thereby the value retention of the machine. To save time and make work easier, the lubrication points on Wacker Neuson wheel loaders are always in an easily accessible position.
Since the lubrication points are easily accessible, the machine is lubricated more often than if the lubrication points are located in a position that is difficult to access. This in turn increases the longevity of the machine and increases value retention.

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.

Efficiency

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.

Rear hydraulic connections

The machine can be equipped with rear hydraulic connections (single or double-acting). This increases the machine's range of applications because rear hydraulic attachments or tipper trailers can also be operated.
The various rear hydraulic options expand the machine's range of applications and offer more flexibility in use. One machine can be used multifunctionally for different activities, no additional vehicles or machines are needed.
