Kawasaki’s 115Z7 wheel loader was redesigned to meet all Tier 4 Interim emissions standards and improve operating efficiency and productivity, the company says. The 115Z7 is equipped with an 8.3-cu.-yd. general-purpose bucket that can load 12.5 tons in a pass. The wheel loader has a 16-liter Isuzu engine that offers 531 net hp. Dual Z linkage provides great breakout force, the company says, as well as visibility to the bucket. It also spreads out the load on the torque tube to reduce stress. Operators can make the 115Z7 fit a specific application through the LCD multi-function monitor in the dash, including power levels, kick-outs, a de-clutch function and more. Standard traction control limits wheel spin, and the AutoBrake protects the transmission from over-speeding and improper shifting.
