Kawasaki has introduced the first two models in its redesigned Z7 Series wheel loaders: the 85Z7 and 90Z7. Four more models will be available by the end of the year. Tier 4-Interim diesels sparked the redesigns, and KCMA, the North American marketers of the machines, will use Cummins, Hino and Isuzu engines in the line. Intelligent systems that adjust to working conditions have been integrated to improve overall efficiency and production, including a patented Intellidig feature that balances rimpull and breakforce with digging into material such as shot rock. Simul-Load provides simultaneous control for tilt and raise during loading, then switches to tilt priority for the dump cycle. View an introductory video.
