ZW180
Packed with Numerous Technological Advances for Amazing Mobility and Big Production
The new ZW Series is packed with lots of technological advances: the TT* system, newly developed hydraulic system and transmission, well matching of operations, impressive mobility and big production with less fuel consumption, and much more.
*Total Torque-control
Three Work Modes to Increase Production and Decrease Fuel Consumption
Three work modes are selectable according to job needs and operator's preference. In each work mode, TT* system controls the total torque of the engine and pump for well matched penetration force and implement speed according to job needs. The three work modes can be optimally selected to suit materials to be handled for higher production.


P mode: Heavy-duty excavation
N mode: Loading
L mode: Light-duty operation
Three Driving Modes and Load-Sensing Auto-DSS*
The three driving modes can be selected according to job needs.

Energy-Saving Driving L mode:
Starts with the second gear, and makes gear shift at first timing. With the accelerator pedal depressed midway, allows auto upshift and increases travel speed at low engine speed for higher fuel efficiency. This driving L mode is suitable for haulage and long-distance travel to boost fuel efficiency. What's more, the Auto-DSS can make auto downshift to the first gear according to loading conditions. There is no need for conventional downshift to the first gear by the downshift switch or the manual mode, reducing operator's burden and increasing loading efficiency.
Energy-Saving Driving L Mode

Load-Sensing Auto-DSS

*Auto-Down Shift System
Driving N mode:
Starts with the second gear and makes gear shift at slow timing. Suitable for ordinary V-shaped load-and-carry operation that does not need extra traction force.
Driving H mode:
Makes gear shift at timing similar to the driving N mode, but the Auto-DSS automatically shifts down to the first gear according to loading conditions. Suitable for production-first jobs.
Smooth Speed Shift by Electronic Control
Quick, smooth speed shift can automatically be done with less shocks by electronic control through helical gears. This allows speedy job-to-job travel with less soil spills in load-and-carry operation.
High-Torque Engine and Capacious Torque Converter
Rated output: 128 kW (171 HP)
Max. torque: 763 Nm (78 kgf m)
The new engine yields big torque at a low speed in direct response to acceleration without need for full throttle. The capacious torque converter enables powerful travel under heavy load, such as climbing steep or long hills without losing speed.
Torque Proportional Differential (Standard)
The torque proportional differential adjusts driving forces to both wheels. When road resistances under both wheels are different, this feature prevents slippage of a wheel on softer ground, unlike conventional differentials. This feature enables the ZW series to get out of swamps or rough terrain easily.
Limited Slip Differential (Optional)
On snowy roads and rough terrain, the limited slip differential can work instead of the torque proportional differential. This delivers effective driving force to both wheels for enhanced grip and less slippage during travel.
