8 Ton Heavy-Duty Construction Wheel Loader SZ980: The Powerhouse for Mining & Infrastructure
Elite Powertrain: Driven by a high-output 220kW Cummins engine and a precision ZF transmission, delivering aggressive torque and rapid site relocation speeds up to 36km/h.
High-Volume Productivity: The 8,000kg rated load combined with a 260KN breakout force and a <13s total work cycle ensures maximum material handling throughput and ROI.
Superior Vertical Reach: A 3,350mm dumping height and 1,280mm reach allow for effortless loading into high-sided industrial trucks and large-capacity trailers.
Unmatched Stability: With a massive 26,000kg operating weight, the SZ980 provides an exceptionally low center of gravity for safe and steady heavy-lifting in extreme mining environments.
The SZ980 is a flagship heavy-duty wheel loader designed for large-scale industrial applications. With an 8,000 kg rated capacity and a powerful 220 kW Cummins engine, it bridges the gap between massive material handling requirements and high-speed operational efficiency, making it the premier choice for mining, quarrying, and major civil engineering projects.
High-Impact Performance Highlights
Massive Throughput Capacity: Equipped with a versatile 3.8 ~ 5.0 m³ bucket, the SZ980 moves high-density materials with fewer cycles. Combined with a 260 KN breakout force, it masters aggressive digging in high-resistance terrains where others stall.
Elite Cummins Power & ZF Transmission: Driven by the world-renowned DF CUMMINS 6LTAA8.9-C295 engine (1350 N.m torque) and a precision ZF4WG260 planetary power-shift transmission, this machine delivers consistent output and speeds up to 36 km/h for rapid site relocation.
Superior Vertical Reach: A 3,350 mm maximum dumping height and 1,280 mm dumping distance ensure effortless loading into high-sided industrial trucks and large-capacity trailers.
Heavy-Duty Stability: With a 26,000 kg (26 Ton) operating weight, the SZ980 offers an exceptionally low center of gravity and superior counterweight stability for safe and steady lifting of its full 8-ton capacity even at maximum reach.
