5 Ton Wheel Loader Features Nice Performance
5 Ton Wheel Loader - Engineered for Outstanding Performance
The ZL50 is a high-performance 5-ton wheel loader built around a 162kW Weichai turbocharged engine, an optimized 3m³ bucket and an energy-saving hydraulic system. With 170kN breakout force, an 11.5-second cycle time and up to 10% lower fuel consumption, it delivers more tons per hour, more uptime and a lower cost-per-ton than any loader in its class.

The ZL50 is engineered around a single principle: deliver more work per hour, every hour, for longer. At its heart is the Weichai WD10G220E23 turbocharged diesel engine - China's most proven heavy-duty powerplant - producing 162kW (220HP) at 2000 rpm with a stump-pulling 745 N·m of torque. Its low-speed high-torque characteristic means strong breakout force even at idle, while the intercooled turbocharger keeps fuel consumption down to ≤215 g/kW·h.
The optimized 3m³ bucket uses a trapezoidal wear-resistant steel cutting edge that achieves higher fill factors with less spillage - so every pass moves more material. Combined with the fast-acting hydraulic system (boom raise ≤6.5s, total cycle ≤11.5s), the ZL50 loads more trucks per shift than conventional 5-ton loaders, directly translating to higher revenue and lower cost-per-ton.
Low-speed high-torque engine - strong breakout force at low rpm, less fuel burn
Optimized bucket shape - higher fill factor, reduced spillage, faster loading
Energy-saving hydraulic system - priority unloading saves up to 10% fuel
Power-shift planetary transmission - smooth shifts, automatic torque adaptation
Long-wheelbase articulated frame - higher tipping load, superior stability
Adaptable from -30°C to +45°C - hyperboloid fan & optimized preheating system
Six engineering features that put the ZL50 ahead of the pack
Proven Weichai Powertrain
The WD10G220E23 delivers 162kW and 745N·m with low-speed high-torque characteristics - strong breakout force at low rpm, excellent cold-start, and spare parts available worldwide.
Energy-Saving Hydraulics
Priority unloading and flow-amplification hydraulic system automatically matches flow to demand - reducing fuel consumption by up to 10% and lowering operating temperature for longer component life.
Optimized 3m³ Bucket
Trapezoidal wear-resistant steel cutting edge with thickened base plate. Higher fill factor, lower insertion resistance, reduced spillage - and interchangeable wear bushings for fast maintenance.
Fast Cycle Time
Boom raise ≤6.5s and total cycle ≤11.5s mean more loads per hour. The power-shift planetary transmission shifts smoothly under load for uninterrupted productivity.
Long-Wheelbase Stability
3300mm wheelbase with equal-distance riveted frame raises tipping load and improves stability on rough terrain - safer operation when handling heavy or uneven loads at full reach.
All-Climate Capability
Hyperboloid efficient fan and optimized preheating system deliver reliable operation from -30°C to +45°C - built for quarries in winter and deserts in summer.
