ET18 Wacker Neuson excavator specs & dimensions (2012 - 2019)

Redefining competitiveness in the
Working day after day: The new generation of compact excavators in the class 1.7 to 2.4 t. With the new generation of models from the class 1.7 to 2.4 t, Wacker Neuson sets new standards on compact excavators. Proven innovations are maintained to be combined with completely new development approaches. The result: An extensively renewed machine class down to the smallest detail. Promising more efficiency and performance.
We‘ve no wish to haul you on board with grandiose promises: a versatile and stable
Undercarriage makes the work much better. The fact is that each model of the ET series has optimized the undercarriage after the model, because only by doing so can optimal stability and best drive characteristics be guaranteed in the tough everyday world. It's something others can only observe and admire - and this volume speaks for the benefit of these compact excavators from Wacker Neuson.
Undercarriage (ET18, ET20) with 2 dozer blade vari
Ants. This, too, requires a lot of hitting. On all model optimized undercarriage ET series (ET18, ET20), you can always choose from two dozer blade lengths which allows optimal adjustment to the tool attachment used. The icing on the cake is the VDS (Vertical Digging System) available as an option on all models in this class.
We've taken a completely fresh look at the
Work environment: Thanks to this approach, it becomes your very own comfort zone. Anyone who works long hours on site every day deserves a well-designed and individually adapted work environment. In this respect, the newly designed and completely revised interior of the redesigned ET Series cab sets new standards in all round visibility, safety and operator comfort. Fatigue free fully focused on your work: that's finally becoming reality.

If you have to work hard, what you want
is simply the best. That's why our excavators are configured for performance and efficiency. Everyday life on a job site can sometimes be tough and unpredictable: all the more important, therefore, being able to rely entirely on your work equipment. Power, efficiency and high visibility are at the heart of Wacker Neuson‘s ET series. The large diesel engines and new, innovative hydraulic system set new standards of operation. You can get out of your job without ever having pressure. Drive Unit Cooling System Fuel Tank Oil Tank Hydraulic Valves
Greater safety and efficiency. This is guaranteed
thanks to the slew drive's mechanical parking brake fitted as standard and the load-bearing valve of the boom cylinder. The diesel engines comply, as you have to say, with the latest exhaust emission standards; the optional auto idling system reduces engine fuel consumption and noise levels.
A boom system for a long service life. The end
The bearing suspension of the boom arm and dipper stick cylinder guarantee an extended life for the boom system.
Whether short or long - you decide. Thanks
to the strong boom system with two optional selectable dipper stick lengths, each machine manages to achieve optimum digging strengths and dig values.
Maximum possibilities with up to 4 auxiliary
Control Circuits. Each model of the ET Series is equipped as standard with a two-act control circuit. Up to 4 additional control circuits are available as options available ex factory. Safety first. The optional hose breakout safety valves for boom arm and dipper stick cylinders make operation even safer. These can also be easily retrofitted. An excavator's effective digging force is determined by a powerful engine and strong boom system. Therefore, in addition to the large diesel engine and innovative hydraulics, each Wacker Neuson Model of the ET series comes fitted with an individually adapted boom system with two different dipper stick lengths; we have the best solution.
1 Just twist to set your working speed.
This allows the new stepless proportional control for auxiliary control circuits during operation. In this way, the responsiveness and/or speed of tool attachment can be individually adjusted.
2 Optional auxiliary control circuits:
3. Control circuit with piping up to the boom arm end, Powertilt control circuit with piping up to dipper stick ends, digber control circuit, hydraulic quickhitch control circuit. 3 Maximum flexibility for every task. Up to 4 auxiliary control circuits can be selected ex-works for all models of the ET series. All machines come standard with a dual action control circuit. The models of the ET range from Wacker Neuson have the answer to virtually everything and meet all requirements in terms of productivity and functionality. Whether it is about fast transporting from A to B or drive system and hydraulic conditions for using powerful tool attachments, the ET Series is always the first choice for those who want to do this job efficiently.

Double-quick to a new location. The twin hoisting
The eyelets fitted into the cab canopy allow for quick and easy relocation or loading of the machine.
Innovatively open to the working day. The innovative wind
Screen opening system makes it easier to air the cab and communicate with the driver. Removing and stowing discs is a thing of the past.
Smart deployment as backhoe and face shovel. By sim
ply it flipping around, the backhoe can be used as a face shovel. This not only saves time but also increases excavator flexibility. The ET series makes working all round easier. You can choose from various preparations and a complete hydraulic quick-hitch system. EASY LOCK can also be perfectly combined with Powertilt. Get more out of your machine so efficiently, so easy. - Hydraulic and Hydraulic EASY LOCK and attachment tools are 100% compatible. - Deliverable ex works no costly and elaborate retrofitting work required. - Better machine productivity. - Change from an attachment in less than 30 seconds without the driver having to leave his cabin. - Reduced time and personnel need.

Lots of room for personal stuff. This too was taken into
account with the new design. The diverse storage options such as drink holder, storage compartment for keys and phone plus a 12V power socket within easy reach supply the working environment with this small bit extra.

One special characteristic. The
generously dimensioned profile frames of the dozer blade extensions always guarantee high stability when working. VDS undercarriage Telescopic undercarriage variants Dozer blade versions Standard Untercarriage Telescopic undercarriage Telescopic undercarriage Telescopic standard Standard Standard Standard Standard Undercarriage Standard VDS undercarriage Standard 1 collapsible, practical, fixed. The fold-up dozer blade extensions on the telescopic undercarriage provide easy handling and are built into the undercarriage so they no longer have a chance on the job site. 2 Variable width. Thanks to the extremely sturdy telescopic undercarriage also narrow passages become child's play. They can be adjusted from 1,300 to 990 mm.

Open-topped for extremely low passageways.
Sometimes unusual access solutions are a must, even if you can't actually get the job done like this. To do so, it is easy to dismantle the cab by hand without losing its functionality.
1 A new dimension for legroom and control. The flat,
thanks to the collapsible pedals, the spacious foot house can be extended even further. You get this only from Wacker Neuson: Hydraulic servo controlled foot pedals that provide new precision levels during machine control. 2 Less sparkling over the weather. The canopy version is available as an option with rear glazing for more protection regardless of the weather. 3 Access both sides. The possibility of access from both sides guarantees optimal flexibility in routine situations. With the canopy version it comes standard and on the cabin version it's a comfort option. Convenient access. Due to the wide cab entrance and low entry height, the driver seat in the ET series is particularly well accessible.

Full visibility and best protection. The hose guide from Extra protection as an option. The optional slewing angle
Boom to the chassis runs through a two-piece slewing console. This guarantees complete protection and full visibility during work. End stop for boom provides added protection from cab collisions when using tool attachments up to 800 mm width.
