SAAO WZ25-18: 1.8-Ton Heavy-Duty Backhoe Loader | Kohler EPA4 Powered
WZ25-18: The 1.8-Ton Lifting Champion. Outperform Standard Compacts.
Bridge the gap between light-duty loaders and oversized 8-ton machines. The SAAO WZ25-18 is a 3.8-ton high-performance backhoe loader engineered for contractors who require heavy-material handling and professional trenching in one mobile unit. With a massive 0.8m³ loader bucket and a Wheel-Hub Reducer Axle, this machine is built to move more earth per cycle and dominate the most challenging terrains on earth.
1.8-Ton Payload Titan: Industry-leading 1800kg lift capacity—handle structural stones, heavy pallets, and dense aggregate without breaking a sweat.
Planetary Wheel-Hub Reduction: Elite drivetrain engineering. Delivers massive torque directly to the wheels for superior climbing and mud-clearing performance.
2.5m Professional Trenching: A deep 2500mm excavation reach, optimized for municipal utilities, cable laying, and deep foundation preparation.

Core Advantages: Rugged Engineering for High-Stakes Jobs
A. High-Volume Productivity: 1800kg Lift & 2.9m Reach
The WZ25-18 redefines throughput. Its 0.8m³ reinforced bucket means fewer cycles and faster project completion.
· Truck-Ready Height: A 2900mm dumping height allows the operator to load high-sided commercial tippers and transport trucks from a single stationary position, drastically reducing site logistics time.
B. Drivetrain Mastery: Specialized Wheel-Hub Reducer Axle
Stop getting stuck. Our Wheel Hub Reducer technology provides a mechanical advantage that standard axles can't match.
· Maximum Torque: Planetary reduction gears at the wheels multiply power exactly where it hits the ground.
· Extreme Durability: This design reduces stress on the central drive components, ensuring longer transmission life and lower maintenance costs in harsh mining or construction environments.
C. Excavator-Class Trenching & Pilot Precision
The backhoe end is built for more than just simple holes; it’s a professional tool for heavy infrastructure.
· Deep Access: With a 2500mm digging depth, it meets the standard requirements for sewer and utility lines.
· Pilot-Control Accuracy: Equipped with Hydraulic Pilot Joysticks, offering the "feather-touch" responsiveness required for delicate work near existing foundations and underground utilities.
D. Global Kohler Heart & Operator-First Cab
· The Kohler Advantage (EPA4/Euro V): Powered by a premium Kohler engine, providing 42KW of reliable, compliant torque. Enjoy worldwide parts availability and high equipment resale value in North American and European markets.
· Luxury Command Center: Features a high-visibility square cab with a sunroof, heater, adjustable rotary seat, and high-definition LCD instrumentation for total operator focus.
