4WD ZL 50 wheel front loader with 162kw engine


ZL50 Wheel Front Loader with 162kW Engine
A four-wheel-drive 5-ton front end wheel loader engineered for traction, stability and power. The 162 kW Weichai turbocharged intercooled diesel engine delivers strong breakout force and high torque backup, while the 4WD system channels power to all four wheels - preventing getting stuck in mud, sand, loose gravel and soft ground. Built to ZL50 international standards for construction sites, mines, ports and material yards where underfoot conditions are unpredictable.

4WD
Four-Wheel Drive - Never Get Stuck
All four wheels receive engine power. Superior traction, stability and pushing force in mud, sand, loose gravel and soft ground - the loader keeps working when 2WD machines are spinning.
162kW
Weichai Turbocharged Power
162 kW (217 hp) Weichai WD10G220E23 turbocharged intercooled diesel - strong cold-start, high torque backup, low fuel consumption. The industry-standard 5-ton loader engine.

Why Four-Wheel Drive Matters on a Loader
4WD transforms a wheel loader from a fair-weather machine into an all-condition workhorse.
Superior Traction
Power to all four wheels means dramatically better grip - the loader digs in and pushes through instead of spinning its tires and going nowhere.
Never Get Stuck
In mud, soft soil, sand or loose gravel, if the front wheels lose grip the rear wheels keep driving - the loader pulls itself through conditions that stop a 2WD machine.
Higher Pushing & Digging Force
4WD transmits more of the engine's power to the ground as useful breakout force - the bucket penetrates compacted material that a 2WD loader cannot dig into.
Better Hill-Climbing & Stability
All-wheel-drive distributes torque evenly, improving gradeability (28°) and stability on slopes - essential for ramp loading and stockpile work.
Reduced Tire Slippage & Wear
Less wheel spin means less tire scuffing and longer tire life - lower operating cost per hour over the machine's lifetime.
Why 4WD is the standard for serious construction, mining and material handling.
| Performance Factor | 4WD (This Loader) ★ | 2WD Loader |
|---|---|---|
| Driven Wheels | ? All 4 wheels | Rear 2 only |
| Traction in Mud | ? Excellent | Poor - spins out |
| Soft Ground / Sand | ? Keeps moving | Gets stuck |
| Breakout Force | 145 kN (full grip) | ~110 kN (slip-limited) |
| Hill Climbing | ? 28° gradeable | ~20° limited |
| Stockpile Penetration | ? Digs in hard | Struggles |
| Tire Wear | ? Reduced slippage | Higher spin wear |
| Wet / Rainy Conditions | ? Productive | Shut down |
| Best For | Construction, mines, ports | Paved yards only |
★ 4WD adds minimal upfront cost but dramatically expands the range of jobsites and conditions where the loader stays productive.
The most widely deployed 5-ton loader engine in the world - proven, supported, fuel-efficient.
Turbocharged & Intercooled
Weichai WD10G220E23 - 6-cylinder, water-cooled, direct-injection diesel. Turbo + air-to-air intercooler delivers dense charge air for strong, consistent power output.
01
Strong Cold-Start Performance
Proven reliable cold-start down to -15°C (with optional preheater to -30°C). The engine fires up and goes to work in winter conditions where lesser engines refuse to start.
02
8-12% Lower Fuel Consumption
Optimized combustion plus high torque backup means the engine spends more time in its efficient operating band - 8 to 12% lower fuel burn versus older naturally-aspirated designs.
03
High Torque Backup
745.3 N·m peak torque with high torque rise - the engine holds RPM under sudden load spikes (digging into hard material) instead of bogging down.
04
Global Parts Availability
Weichai is the most widely supported 5-ton loader engine worldwide - filters, injectors, pistons and major components available in every mining and construction region.
05

Four core advantages that keep the machine working and lower your operating cost.
4WD Traction
Four-wheel drive delivers power to all wheels - superior grip, no getting stuck, higher breakout force in mud, sand and soft ground.
162kW Weichai
Turbocharged intercooled diesel with strong cold-start, high torque backup and 8-12% lower fuel consumption. Industry-standard engine.
Reinforced Frame
Reinforced front and rear frames with reasonable loading distribution, high lifting capacity and stability for heavy-duty cycles.
3 m³ Wear Bucket
Enlarged 3 m³ bucket with trapezoidal wear-resistant steel main blade and thickened bottom - low insertion resistance, high fill factor.
