Device

The Chinese wheel loader XCMG ZL30G is a budget analogue of the product of the Japanese company Komatsu. The model from the Middle Kingdom borrowed many technological solutions from its more famous “brother.” At the same time, the technology for the production of the loader was provided by Kawasaki.

The loading machine has a Z-shaped design. It is equipped with a hydromechanical power-shift transmission, providing stepless gear shifting under load. The transmission has two reverse and four forward gears. The XCMG ZL30G uses Meritor axles (China-USA), guaranteeing an excellent ride. The rear axle swings with the frame, the front axle is fixed. The drive is capable of transmitting torque to both axles. The operator can change gears using a convenient handle located on the steering wheel. again, special equipment is equipped with joysticks or 2 ergonomic handles, ensuring simplicity and ease of control.

In Russia, XCMG ZL30G has been sold for over 9 years. During this period, the loader showed its best side, becoming the sales leader in the domestic market among Chinese products of this class. The significant demand for the model is explained by its thoughtful design.

The significant maneuverability of the machine allows it to be used in small areas. The standard working tool for the XCMG ZL30G is a bucket. It is controlled using convenient joysticks. In addition to standard equipment, the loader can work with a side discharge bucket, jaw grips for hay or timber, snow or bulldozer blades, forks and buckets of various sizes.

The main working system is a hydraulic disc. It affects four wheels at once. The drum-type parking brake on the front axle drive shaft is of the pneumatic type. It works equally effectively with any machine load.

The loader is equipped with a spacious and safe operator's cabin with ROPS/FOPS protection systems. It is made of noise-absorbing materials. The operator's cabin complies with European Union requirements. The list of equipment installed in it includes a radio, air conditioning and heater. The comfortable adjustable chair has a seat belt shock absorption system. The loader's dashboard is extremely simple (minimal number of sensors and indicators) and is equipped with a specialized error monitoring system. To view the reversing vehicle, a video surveillance system is used, consisting of two elements: a color LCD screen located in the operator's cab next to the operator, and a compact camera with a wide viewing angle located at the central point of the rear crankcase of the power plant. The system allows you to avoid many problems and completely eliminate “dead spots”.
