EXCAVATORS
Last year, the first four excavator
models were already presented.
Now the series between six and
10 tons of operating weight is
complete with a zero tail model without over-
hang (EZ80), two tracked excavators (ET65
and ET90) and two wheeled excavators (EW65
and EW100). The EZ80 is the latest model of
this series that is setting standards for precise
and efficient work with features such as the
Load Sensing hydraulic system for a simple
and precise operation, a revised machine and
cabin design for an ideal all-around visibility
of the entire working area as well as very high
digging forces.
A good all-around visibility as well as
a view of the track and attachment on both
sides is indispensable for safe operation
and quick working in the construction site
sector. Due to the lateral offset of the boom
as well as the strongly forward rounded valve
hood, the new excavators meet these require-
ments perfectly.
A higher bucket torque and the enlarging
of the bucket's angle of rotation to 200 degrees
make the ET65 and ET90 the best in their
class in terms of excavation performance. The
result? More economical work.
The load sensing system ensures that the
work speed of all movements always remains
constant and – as the name suggests – inde-
pendent of the load with the load-independent
flow control (LUDV), even if multiple move-
ments are performed simultaneously. Unique
in the six ton class: the optionally available
articulated boom for more flexibility, extra
reach, digging depth and dumping height.
Up to five auxiliary control circuits are
available with the new models: the fast,
continuous setting of the individual circuits
takes place via a ‘jog dial’, an operating
concept that is known from the automotive
industry. Individual storage as well as settings
of attachments can therefore be performed
without any problems, even during operation.
With the EZ53, a zero tail excavator with
about 5.2 tons of operating weight, Wacker
Neuson presents the successor to the 50Z3.
Despite its size, it can achieve an optimal
excavation performance even in difficult to
reach places, such as against house walls,
because at no point does the rear of the EZ53
project over its undercarriage.
Optionally outfitted with the Vertical
Digging System (VDS), the revolving super-
structure of the EZ53 can be continuously
tilted up to 15 degrees. This allows for vertical
digging, even on sloped surfaces, and makes
the machine even more flexible. The latest
technologies ensure for a reduced fuel
consumption with a simultaneous increase in
engine and hydraulic performance.
The turbo diesel engine with an output
of 36 kW as well as improved digging
performance provide for higher materials
handling. Thanks to the tiltable cabin and the
IDEALLY
EQUIPPED
for future requirements
Wacker Neuson has a whole bouquet of innovations in the
excavators segment. The new models work economically with a
simultaneously higher performance and therefore do very well
in terms of economic and profitable work.

side engine hood, the EZ53 provides conven-
ient service access. Up to five auxiliary control
circuits with a separate pressure-free return
line make it possible to use a variety
of attachments.
The new mini-excavator ET16 with an
operating weight of 1,5 tons, which will replace
the 1404 in the fall of 2016, scores with new
characteristics: In the future, it will be offered
with a second driving speed and a redesigned
cabin interior, which offers spacious legroom
and headroom.
Due to its telescoping travel gear, which
can be extended from 990 to 1 300 mm, the
mini-excavator is ideal for narrow passages
and at the same time can exhibit a high level of
stability with extended telescopic travel gear.
Maintaining an overview –
always and everywhere
When is the next maintenance due? Where
are the fleet's machines located? How many
hours are they used per day? These are ques-
tions that are of crucial importance for fleet
managers – and that can be answered quickly
thanks to the Wacker Neuson telematics.
Using GPS/GSM, the system automatically
records the operating times of the machines,
provides information about movement, the
operating condition or the location.
This makes it possible to monitor the
machine in real time – around the clock
and at any site of application. All necessary
information can be accessed by smartphone
or computer. The user or owner is informed
about an upcoming maintenance by text
message or an e-mail.
The Wacker Neuson telematics is avail-
able for all excavator models ex work or as a
retrofit kit.
