PROFESSIONALISM: THANKS TO THE VERTICAL DIGGING System (vds), you and your excavator are always well positioned to get on with your work.
The Vertical Digging System (VDS):
It saves time and money, provides added safety and opens up new opportunities for even more efficient work.
Thanks to the continuously variable tilting of the superstructure through up to 15°, you can compensate for gradients and height differences of up to 27%. - Greater productivity, improved efficiency: shorter digging times thanks to precisely
Vertical digging. - Up to 25 % Material and time savings when excavating - Up to 25 % Material and time savings during filling - Up to 20 % increased stability - Full all-round rotational force through 360 - Confident seat position, fatigue safe working conditions - Simple and robust design -10 year warranty for tilt console and support option on 15 gradients 6_7 WACKER NEUSON VDS
draulic coolers standard on all our
Models ensure that the machines can be operated at any time even in high outdoor temperatures with maximum loads. 2 All parts requiring maintenance, such as fuel, oil and air filters plus water and hydraulic oil coolers or hydraulic oil filters are easily accessed thanks to the side position of the engine.
5 The divided pivot bracket connection on the chassis ensures
optimal line of hydraulic lines and full protection at all times. 12_13 WACKER NEUSON SERVICE

Engine / Driveline and transmission

THE COMPACT ZERO TAILS WILL INSPIRE YOU WITH THEIR POWER, AGILITY AND SUPERIOR COMFORT. THE LATERAL
POSITION OF ENGINE AND RESERVE AT THE ROOMS MAKE IT OBJECTIVE. When all other machines find it too tight in use, the Wacker Neuson Zero Tails deliver top performance. An uncompromising machine stable and independent, strengths built on clear and proven principles.
The unique construction principle of the Wacker Neuson Zero Tail machines. Engine placed at the side with an additional dividing wall to the cab: Valve control block, fuel tank, hydraulics oil tank at the rear:
- Minimizing noise and vibration to the cab. - Optimal maintenance and maintenance access to the diesel engine and components. - Less heat transferred to the cabin. With the Wacker Neuson Zero Tail concept, it is possible to build a larger canopy thus creating sufficient headroom and leg room for the driver.

Less than 2700 kg total weight (28Z3). Two travel speeds. One fuel-saving, low maintenance and quiet engine. 5-way adjustable comfortable
An all-round specialist.
Head of field in speed. The power needed for use. Profit technology.
Stable footing, high agility, reliable performance and applied ergonomics. The Wacker Neuson Zero Tails are built around the person.
Wherever stability and cab comfort are demanded, they are in their element. The design methods used for the Wacker Neuson Zero Tail ensure thermal and acoustic separation of the driver's cabin and engine compartment. Heat and noise from the engine do not penetrate into the cab.
3 An operator position with a commanding view and extra comfort – the driver's seat
can be adjusted in 5 different ways. The engine is located sideways and separated from the cab.

Hydraulics

Greatness in a small package. Experience in detail. built for comfort: The 28Z3 and 38Z3 have a great deal in common.
Two travel speeds pilot-controlled hydraulic pedals, safety first an x-shaped reinforced steel chassis frame, 300mm wide rubber tracks and a perfectly balanced design combine with the highest stability. Standard two-way hydraulic system and an additional return line for use of a hydraulic hammer. High arm amount force and bucket digging force thanks to kinematic movement and control sensitivity from Wacker Neuson Hydraulics.

Tyres / Tracks

1 The canopy can also be removed from the undercarriage by simply removing four screws, meeting all ROPS, TOPS and FOPS standards.
