SAAO WZ40-28: The Ultimate Force in High-Capacity Earthmoving
The WZ40-28 Luxury Edition is not just a backhoe; it is a high-throughput production machine. With a 7,600kg operating weight and an upgraded chassis, it is designed to replace larger, more expensive equipment on intensive jobsites.
Unrivaled Loading Volume: Featuring a massive 1.5m³ reinforced bucket and a 2,800kg rated capacity, the WZ40-28 redefines cycle efficiency. It is built to load high-sided trucks and move bulk aggregate faster than any compact competitor.
Deep-Reach Versatility: While standard digging reach is 4m, the optional 5.5m Telescopic Boom allows for deep infrastructure excavation, providing the utility of a dedicated excavator with the mobility of a loader.
Planetary Drivetrain & 24-Inch Tires: The heavy-duty Planetary Wheel-Hub Reducer Axles combined with large 16/70-24 tires deliver massive traction and high ground clearance, ensuring dominance in deep mud and rugged construction environments.
The Luxury Command Suite: The "Luxury Edition" standard includes a full Climate Control System (A/C and Heat), high-definition backup cameras, and hydraulic pilot controls, ensuring peak operator performance in any weather.

Performance in Action
Bulk Loading & Logistics: The 1.5m³ bucket and 2.8-ton lift make this a "High-Throughput" champion. It fills commercial trucks in fewer cycles, drastically cutting fuel and labor costs per ton.
Deep Infrastructure: With a 5.5m telescopic reach and surgical pilot controls, it performs deep sewer and utility trenching like a dedicated excavator, even in highly compacted soil.
All-Terrain Dominance: Powered by the FPT 90KW engine and 24-inch tires, it delivers massive torque to conquer deep mud and steep 30% gradients where other machines stall.
Extreme-Shift Endurance: The Standard A/C and Luxury Cab provide a climate-controlled, low-fatigue environment, ensuring the operator stays 100% productive throughout grueling 10-hour shifts.
FAQ
Q: How does the WZ40-28 handle high-volume material loading?
A: With its 1.5m³ bucket and 2,800kg load capacity, the WZ40-28 is a "High-Throughput" specialist. It is specifically designed to load large commercial tippers in fewer cycles, significantly reducing fuel costs and labor time on site.
Q: What is the benefit of the FPT 90KW engine over standard options?
A: The FPT (Fiat) engine provides 120HP of reliable, high-torque power. It is fully compliant with EPA Tier 4 Final / Euro Stage V emissions, allowing it to be used in the most regulated urban environments while benefiting from a world-class global service network.
Q: Why are the 24-inch tires significant?
A: The larger 16/70-24 tires provide a wider footprint and higher ground clearance (300mm). This ensures the WZ40-28 remains stable when lifting 2.8 tons and maintains superior floatation and traction in deep mud where machines with smaller tires would get stuck.
Q: Does the "Luxury Edition" include climate control as standard?
A: Yes. Unlike many competitors where A/C is an add-on, our Luxury Edition comes standard with a Full Climate Control (A/C and Heating) system, a reinforced arched cab, and hydraulic pilot controls to ensure maximum operator comfort and productivity.
