Wheel Loader WL250: Compact and powerful

The WL250 wheel loader has an overall lower height and compact dimensions. As a result, the machine can pass through clearance heights of below 2 m without the need to fold down the operator's canopy. The machine’s low center of gravity ensures very good stability and allows the handling of heavy loads. The wheel hub drive also includes the powerful and efficient drive concept, with which all four wheels are directly driven. This purely hydraulic wheel hub drive ensures an increase in efficiency, excellent acceleration, and therefore enables a responsive driving behavior as well as high thrust power.

Wacker Neuson wheel loader WL250 in studio, Wheel hub drive

Powerful wheel hub drive

  • With this drive concept, 4 wheel hub motors are mounted directly on the wheels. This means that each wheel has its own motor, which directly drives the respective wheel.
  • The wheel hub motors are driven directly by the travel hydraulic pump, eliminating mechanical losses. The wheel hub motors are also protected against pressure peaks by a high-pressure safeguard. An anti-cavitation valve between the wheel hub motors optimizes the oil supply when cornering.
  • This drive system is beneficial for machines up to a 3 t operating weight. As a result of the purely hydraulic drive system, there is no loss of performance through axles or transmission. The wheel hub drive furthermore enables high pushing power, excellent acceleration, and responsive driving behavior.
