KEY FEATURES
Compact Design with High Lift Capacity easily handles loads up to 1.6 t in tight, confined job sites.
Description
The Wacker Neuson WL28 Wheel Loader offers unmatched performance in a compact format, built to meet the demands of professional operators in tight urban environments and light construction tasks. Engineered to deliver high tipping loads and impressive breakout force, this compact loader is perfect for moving paving stones, materials, or bulky goods in limited access areas—without sacrificing lifting capacity or control.
Powered by efficient Yanmar engines (available in multiple power configurations up to 40.1 kW), the WL28 supports electronically regulated travel with four configurable driving modes—Auto, Eco, M-Drive, and Attachment—making the machine adaptable to virtually any job requirement. This results in reduced fuel consumption, optimized drive behavior, and enhanced productivity across varied applications.
The WL28 sets itself apart with a low-profile front carriage design that improves visibility of both the tool and surroundings, while supporting high lift and tipping loads. The articulated pendulum steering ensures tight turning radii and excellent maneuverability. Coupled with hydrostatic drive and 100% differential locks on both axles, the WL28 delivers secure traction on diverse surfaces and grades.
Operator comfort is front and center. The WL28's redesigned cab features a 4-pillar structure with deep-drawn windows and a rear panoramic view, allowing for exceptional visibility. Noise and vibration have been minimized, and the interior ergonomics optimized for fatigue-free, productive workdays. Air conditioning, LED work lights, and customizable joysticks further enhance the operating experience. Taller operators will appreciate the generous headroom and seat adjustability—rare for a loader in this size class.
Safety and convenience features include a smart electric parking brake with hill-hold functionality, automatic engagement when stationary, and manual override. The loader's low weight makes it transportable on a standard car trailer, providing flexibility for contractors who need to move quickly between jobsites.
Maintenance is simplified through logical component layout, protected auxiliary hydraulics, and long-lasting components. The hydraulic quick-change system allows for fast and efficient attachment swaps, transforming the WL28 into a year-round solution for tasks like material handling, snow clearing, earthmoving, or site prep.
Whether you're a contractor, landscaper, or fleet operator, the Wacker Neuson WL28 offers a professional-grade tool with the comfort, power, and flexibility needed for demanding tasks—all in a compact, transportable design. Backed by Wacker Neuson’s reliability and a wide range of attachments, the WL28 is built to keep your projects moving efficiently and safely.
