Wheel loaders WL950p: Designed for true professionals

Power Drive: up to 40 km/h driving speed

• The Power Drive is a continuously variable hydrostatic transmission that achieves higher tractive forces and travel speeds than previously developed solutions. This is achieved while retaining all the advantages of previous travel drives in terms of compactness, energy efficiency and operator comfort.
• With the Power Drive, speeds of up to 40 km/h are possible without any shifting operations or gear stage changes. This enables comfortable driving, as there are no interruptions in tractive force.
• This allows the machine to be moved from A to B quicker, saving time and increasing productivity.

Loading system assistance package: Automatic bucket return

• The automatic bucket return function automatically returns the attachment to a previously defined loading position. The tilt and/or lift cylinder positions are saved at the press of a button and precisely repeated in subsequent loading cycles. This ensures a consistent position for the attachment.
• Recurring work processes can be carried out with consistent precision and efficiency. Loading cycles are accelerated, achieving a consistently high handling capacity. The smooth movement reduces unnecessary corrections, contributing to reduced wear cost and an extended service life of the loader unit.
• The automatic bucket return function ensures precise results, especially during stacking work or when filling containers with fixed heights or dropsides. This increases productivity while improving comfort and control in daily operations.

Loading system assistance package: Shake function

• The shake function supports the efficient emptying of the bucket when handling stubborn bulk materials. At the press of a button, an automatic shaking movement is triggered, causing the attachment to move back and forth rapidly several times. Adhering material is reliably loosened without requiring additional manual corrections.
• Even with damp or sticky materials, the bucket can be emptied fully and evenly. Handling is significantly simplified, while the bucket volume is utilized to its full potential. Heavy joystick movements are no longer necessary, contributing to a gentler operation.
• Reduced mechanical stress minimizes wear and extends the service life of both the bucket and loader unit. This results in more efficient loading processes, consistent work results, and increased cost-effectiveness in daily operations.

Loading system assistance package: Tilt-in Assist

• The Tilt-in-Assist supports the loading process by automatically tilting the bucket in when lifting the loader unit. When activated, the system automatically returns the bucket to the optimal position during the lifting process. The function can be easily adjusted via the Jog-Dial and display, and controlled via the joystick.
• Automatic tilting enables uniform and reproducible workflows. The bucket volume is used efficiently, material losses are minimized, and loading cycles can be performed consistently. Even with different operators, the quality of work remains at a consistently high level.
• The result is increased handling capacity and high productivity combined with simplified handling. The Tilt-in-Assist contributes to efficient loading processes and economical machine operation in daily operations.

Loading system assistance package: Lift height limit

• The lifting height limit allows the operator to individually set the maximum lifting height of the machine using the jog dial and display. The loader unit is reliably restricted to the set height so that work movements can be executed in a controlled and precise manner.
• By optimally adapting the required lifting height, work processes are accelerated, and unnecessary movements are avoided. At the same time, the risk of damage to the machine, attachment, and working environment is significantly reduced, resulting in fewer potential repair costs.
• The lifting height limit contributes to efficient, safe, and economical work processes – especially during recurring loading tasks with a defined height.

Flow Sharing

• Flow sharing is already included in the standard configuration and allows multiple functions to be operated at a constant hydraulic pressure. This enables simultaneous work movements, such as lifting/lowering the attachment and rolling in/out in parallel.
• The operator can work faster, more sensitively and more comfortably with the machine, which in turn increases productivity.

Thrust force control

• The thrust force control allows the maximum usable thrust force of the machine to be individually adjusted via the Jog-Dial and display. The available power is specifically limited and can be optimally adapted to the respective ground conditions.
• This demand-based control significantly reduces wheel slip and ensures uniform power transmission. This improves traction, protects the ground surface, and simultaneously reduces wear on tires and the drivetrain.
• The thrust force ensures safe and economical machine operation while minimizing wear – especially in changing ground conditions.

Clear 7-inch}{7 display

• Key functions always in view: With the 7-inch display, the operator always maintains a complete overview of the machine. In addition to standard displays such as temperature, fuel level, and operating hours, the cockpit also displays active functions. These include activated electrical functions, loading assistants like the automatic bucket return and vibration function, and continuous operation of the 3rd control circuit or the engaged differential lock.
• Integrated into the control console, the display is always clearly visible to the operator without obstructing the view.
• The various functions and settings are controlled via the jog dial. This enables the operator to operate the machine easily and conveniently.

Tipping angle display on the screen

• The tipping angle display shows the current tipping angle of the attachment directly on the screen. The current position is clearly identifiable at all times, enabling precise guidance of the attachment into the optimal position.
• Continuous display supports controlled and consistent work. Material losses can be reduced, while work safety in daily operations is simultaneously increased. Uncontrolled movements and misalignments are avoided.
• The tipping angle display promotes efficient, low-wear workflows and ensures greater safety and control during demanding loading tasks.

100 % connectible differential lock

• The connectible 100% differential lock provides maximum traction and thrusting power when needed. It also keeps tire wear low. This increases the efficiency of the machine.
• During normal operation the differential lock is deactivated, this provides safety, low wear and, as a result, saves in operating costs.

High hydraulic performance

• A Wacker Neuson wheel loader always has enough hydraulic output and is thus suited for the operation of many different attachments, which in turn makes a great variety of applications areas possible.
• The flexible combination with various attachments reduces the total fleet and thus the total cost of ownership (TCO).
• Compact machines with high hydraulic output save money, as it is not necessary to immediately procure or use a bigger machine.

Perfectly tuned kinematics

• The kinematics are adapted to the size of the machine - this ensures optimum force ratios and maximum productivity for every machine.
• The optimum coordination and processing quality of the loader arm design and hydraulic cylinders increases the longevity of the machine and thus offers added value for the customer, as working efficiency is increased.
• The theoretical maximum possible lifting capacity of the machine is always greater than the actual tipping load. The large hydraulic cylinders therefore always offer sufficient reserves and the cylinders are not operated at maximum capacity.

Perfectly matched Z-kinematics

• Z-kinematics ensure that power is always used optimally when loading and unloading the bucket. In addition, Z-kinematics create great tear out and break out forces during quick loading cycles, which increases the productivity of the machine.
• The machine can be used efficiently in heavy and frequent materials handling.

30/40 km/h driving speed

• The machine can reach travel speeds of 30 or 40 km/h (optional). This allows the machine to be moved from A to B quicker, saving time and increasing productivity.

Motor installed transversely

• The engine is installed transversely and the components in the engine compartment are optimally arranged. This improves the air flow under the hood and ensures increased cooling efficiency. Furthermore, the slope angle and thus the off-road capability of the machine is increased.
• The engine is characterized by its low fuel consumption, low noise emissions and compact dimensions. Additionally, it has high torque, which overall increases machine performance.
• As a result of the flat sloping engine hood shape, the view to the rear is significantly improved, which again increases safety when working with the machine.

Electronically regulated drive system: Auto-Mode

• The auto mode ensures the machine's usual 100 percent performance. Full power and performance are available at all times.

Electronically regulated drive system: Attachment-Mode

• The attachment mode perfectly supports the use of hydraulic attachments. In attachment mode, the machine's diesel engine and the attachment are always optimally utilized.
• With the Attachment Mode, the machine controls the travel speed itself depending on the load.
• This ensures maximum productivity and the best-possible work result. The operator is relieved of the burden and is able to work with the machine for long periods with concentration.

Electronically regulated drive system: M-Drive Mode

• The M-Drive mode corresponds to an accelerator pedal mode. The hand throttle is used to adjust the speed of the diesel engine and the accelerator pedal becomes the accelerator pedal.
• With the M-Drive Mode, the desired rpm is always requested, and as a result, inching is not necessary. This enables comfortable working conditions with attachments, for instance a spreader, as well as efficient materials handling with very short routes.

Adjustable 3rd control circuit

• The oil flow can be individually adjusted for both the 3rd control circuit and the continuous operation of the 3rd control circuit. This allows the oil flow to be optimally adjusted for each attachment.
• Attachments can be operated precisely and sensitively, ensuring performance is always fully utilized. This prevents damage to the attachment caused by overloading.

Loader unit sensitivity adjustable in 3 stages

• The two sections of the loading system (lifting/lowering and rolling in/out) can each be freely adjusted to one of three speed settings, independently of one another.
• This means the machine can be optimally set up for different work tasks. Working precision is increased and productivity is significantly boosted.

Jog dial operating element

• The Jog-Dial control element enables the easy operation and selection of different machine parameters and functions via the display: For example, adjusting various loader assistants such as automatic bucket retraction and lift height limitation, reading operating hours and machine information, or tracking service intervals.
• The Jog-Dial is ergonomically integrated into the control console below the display and moves in response to vibrations.
• In the event of a service, the important fault notifications and required machine information can be quickly displayed using the jog dial. This accelerates diagnostics and reduces the machine downtime.

Work efficiently

• Economic efficiency is one of the most important features that wheel loaders should bring to your business. The faster and more time-saving a wheel loader can maneuver, the higher its performance.
• For the wheel loaders by Wacker Neuson, economy means technically sophisticated solutions, such as strong tensile force, high stability, and an efficient quick-hitch system for attachments.
• More factors displaying economic efficiency: Low wear, high-quality powder-coating, good service access, high cylinder speeds, and flexible travel speeds.

Inch brake pedal: Engine output where it is needed.

• 1. No pressure on inch brake pedal: full power for the drive system 2. Slightly depressed inch-brake pedal: speed is reduced, more power to the work hydraulics. 3. Firmly depressed brake-inch pedal: The speed is reduced further, even more power to the work hydraulics. 4. Fully depressed inch-brake pedal: the wheel loader stands still, full power to the work hydraulics.
• The advantages of the inch-brake pedal are obvious: less wear on the operating brake and optimum power distribution of the engine output.

Ballast weight

• The machine can be equipped with a ballast weight (base plate on the rear carriage) and/or cast rear weight, making it heavier. The machine achieves a higher tipping load and heavier loads can be transported while the dimensions of the machine remain the same.
• The extra weight increases productivity by allowing larger attachments to be operated and heavier loads to be moved with the same machine.

Suitable motorization

• The engine complies with exhaust emission standard stage V with a diesel particulate filter (DPF) in combination with a diesel oxidation catalytic converter (DOC). Urea solution (DEF) does not need to be added with this technology.
• The entire engine unit, including the exhaust after treatment system, comes from one manufacturer so that all components are perfectly coordinated and the machine automatically regenerates at the appropriate operating temperature. When operation is of a stop-start nature it is likewise possible to perform manual regeneration.

Electronically regulated drive system

• Smarter driving and working! The electronically controlled travel drive allows the machine to be driven and used as required.
• Auto Mode and Eco Mode are always available as standard. Optionally, it is possible to select either the Attachment Mode or the M-Drive Mode. This provides maximum flexibility as the machine can be configured to individual requirements.
• The electronic regulation reduces loss in the drive system and ensures a higher efficiency rate and increased efficiency when compared with existing solutions. A lesser fuel requirement enables operation with lower rpm.

Pressure relief on the loading system

• The pressure relief button is always easily accessible on the loading arm. This means that different hydraulically operated attachments can be changed even more quickly and efficiently. This also works when the engine is running.
• When the pressure relief is activated, the active hydraulic control circuit is depressurized and hydraulically operated attachments can be changed effortlessly and safely.

Ergonomic control console

• Display, Jog-Dial, joystick and other control elements are integrated into a control console, forming a single unit with the operator’s seat and moving in unison.
• The entire control console contains the key display and control elements and maintains constant position relative to the driver. This reduces operator strain and always provides an optimal view and control over the machine.
• Additional individual adjustments for the armrest and seat ensure that different operators can customize their setup. This ensures maximum comfort.

Comfortable and ergonomic operator's seat

• The standard operator's seat has mechanical suspension. An optional air-suspension seat with seat heating and additional adjustments is available. For even more comfort, the Premium operator seat is available: Low-frequency suspension, heated seats, ventilated seats, adjustable side bolsters, lumbar support, and automatic weight adjustment.
• The entire control console (including display, Jog-Dial, and joystick) forms a single unit with the operator’s seat and moves with it to absorb vibrations. This increases operator comfort and ensures optimal control over the machine at all times.
• Multiple seat adjustment options allow operators to customize setup, ensuring the best possible ergonomics.

End-position damping for lift cylinder

• The lift cylinders feature damping at the end-position during lifting and lowering. The lifting and lowering movements are gently slowed down when the cylinders reach their end position.
• This leads to smoother work movements and increased operator comfort. Additionally, it protects the machine and reduces wear.

Maximum traction thanks to articulated pendulum joint

• Thanks to the articulated pendulum joint, all four wheels maintain traction even on uneven terrain. This increases the machine's productivity and gives the driver optimum control.
• The optimal ratio of articulated and pendulum angle ensures good traction. As a result, the machine is easy to maneuver. Even when subject to tight conditions, there is not a collision between the machine’s front and rear.
• Front carriage and rear carriage can be oscillated independent of one another. This way, the operator can react sensitively to any imperfections. This increases operator comfort and creates a safer driving experience.

Efficient change of attachments

• Thanks to the hydraulic quickhitch system, attachments can be readily exchanged. In this way, your machine is immediately ready for use again. This increases productivity and profitability.
• The hydraulic quick-change system for attachments is standard on all Wacker Neuson wheel loaders.
• The good view of the coupling points makes changing attachments very easy. Also, changing over is particularly safe with 2-hand operation when decoupling.

Consistent operating philosophy

• In all Wacker Neuson wheel loaders, there is a consistent operating concept with clearly structured and ergonomically arranged switches and keypads. All Wacker Neuson wheel loaders can be operated in a very similar or even identical way. This gives the operator the advantage of quickly finding his way around on different Wacker Neuson wheel loaders and being able to work productively.
• The Wacker Neuson operating philosophy allows the operator to easily understand the machine, which enables him to work safely and productively. The operator can be found operating different Wacker Neuson machines, even across product groups. This is demonstrated, for example, in recurring elements such as the jog dial, joystick, display, switch assignments, etc.

Adjustable steering wheel and steering column

• The height and angle of the steering wheel and steering column can be individually adjusted over a wide range. This means that every driver can work very ergonomically with the settings that suit them best.

Ergonomic Joystick

• The joystick can be held securely and comfortably. The control is, both, direct and sensitive. Thus the operator always has the machine and the most important functions under control.
• Alongside the standard functions, like selecting the travel direction and the speed, many other functions, e.g. the differential lock, the 3rd control circuit and all electrical functions, can be operated using the joystick. As a result, a one-handed operation of the attachments is fulfilled.
• By concentrating the most important function on the joystick, work can be carried out without fatigue, even over longer periods of time, and overall efficiency is increased when working with the machine.

Ergonomic cockpit

• Plenty of legroom, clearly arranged controls, comfortable operator’s seat, and optimal view of the attachment. A work area that motivates the operator and fully supports them.
• The coordinated equipment increases comfort and allows the operator to work optimally with the machine for longer periods of time.

Comfortable working environment

• The efficiently designed heating and ventilation system with fan, fresh air filter and well-placed air nozzles keeps the cab in a comfortable working climate.
• Sufficient air nozzles are installed depending on the type of cab, which enables good air circulation and makes the working climate pleasant for the operator.

Air-conditioning system

• The optional air-conditioning system keeps the inside of the cab comfortable when outside temperatures are warm. It also offers a high air flow rate with optimized cooling performance. The control element for steering and control of the air nozzles is always in the best possible position, according to the type of cab.
• The air-conditioning system increases comfort enabling the operator to work without fatigue as it reduces the strain on the operator in warm outside temperatures.

Ventilation as required

• The left-hand cabin door is available in a one-piece or two-piece version. Both can be set up completely and locked to the machine. With the split door, the upper window pane can also be opened and locked separately. The window can also be set up and locked on the right-hand side. Gap ventilation is also possible.
• Without an air-conditioning system, this ensures fresh air in the cabin and increases the operator’s comfort when ambient temperatures are warm.

Vibration-damped workstation

• Vibration is absorbed by the machine through appropriate dampers. The operator's body is very well protected, allowing work for longer periods with the machine in a relaxed and fatigue-free manner.
• The operator's concentration is less affected by vibrations and jolts, allowing for longer, efficient work.

Proportional speed limiter (slow speed device)

• With the proportional speed limiter (slow speed device), very slow travel speeds can be achieved at constant engine speed in the first speed range. This offers an advantage when using attachments that are operated at a constantly high speed but at the same time at a very low driving speed.
• The proportional speed limiter (slow speed device) enables comfortable and concentrated work with attachments such as a sweeper, hedge trimmer or mulcher, even over longer periods of time.

Manual throttle

• The hand throttle allows manual regulation of a constant engine speed for optimum operation of an attachment. The setting is done conveniently and precisely via a corresponding control lever.
• The hand throttle allows comfortable and fatigue-free work with the same attachment even over a longer period of time.

Optimum tires

• The correct tires for a wheel loader play an important role in the actual application. If the tires are optimally matched to the surface and area of use, the driver can work with the machine without any problems.
• Choosing the right tires offers maximum traction and minimum wear, which saves money as the tires do not have to be changed frequently.
• To achieve optimal performance on any subbase, seven treads are available for selection depending on model: EM tread, AS tread, SureTrax tread, RP tread, MPT tread, multi-use tread and Bibload tread. This ensures the maximum flexibility of the machine ex work.

Trailer hitches

• The machine is capable of towing a trailer using the optional trailer hitch (38-mm automatic hitch or maneuvering hitch). The maximum possible weight of the trailer depends on the model and equipment.
• The option of pulling a trailer expands the machine’s application range and offers more flexibility, as no additional towing vehicle is required.

Rear hydraulic connections

• The machine can be equipped at the rear with a double-acting hydro connection including a separate control valve, and a double-acting hydro connection via a switch valve (3rd control circuit.
• This allows the machine to be used multi-functionally for different tasks. No additional vehicles and/or machines are required.

Separate 4th Control circuit

• The machine can be optionally equipped with a double-acting auxiliary hydraulic control circuit. Separate 4th control circuit can be operated independently and allows the extended use of hydraulic attachments with multiple connections and functions.

Electrical connections

• The machine can be equipped with electrical connections to the front and/or rear. As a result, electrically operated auxiliary functions of attachments, for example a sweeper with a water-spray facility, can be operated. In addition to this, it is possible to change over the auxiliary functions of hydraulic attachments.
• The different electronic functions can be configured individually by the operator via the jog dial and display (setting of E1/E2/E3/E4, momentary/latching combinations). The electronic functions are operated comfortably with the joystick.
• Electrical connections ensure that a variety of attachments can be operated with the machine. This again increases the application range of the machine.

Service access right

• A service flap is located on the right-hand side of the machine in an easily accessible position. The cab's fuses and air filter are easily accessible via these.
• Under the service cover on the right-hand side the machine’s battery is easily accessible under a cover.
• Easy and quick maintenance maximizes the availability of the machine and optimizes the operating costs.

Transversely mounted motor for optimum service accessibility

• The engine is installed transversely and the components are optimally arranged so that all maintenance points can be reached ergonomically. This makes the machine much easier to service.
• For regular service and maintenance works, the engine hood can be opened with just one handle. With this, all the most important maintenance components in the machine’s rear are easily accessible: Oil dipper stick, hydraulic oil tank, windshield wash container, coolant, and the engine’s air filter.
• Easy and quick maintenance maximizes the availability of the machine and optimizes the operating costs.

Service access front end

• The machine has an optimized hydraulic hose routing and the control valve is integrated in the front carriage of the machine. This makes it easily accessible through a maintenance flap.
• The optimized arrangement significantly reduces the development of noise and heat within the cabin and provides optimal access in the event of a service.
• Easy and quick maintenance maximizes the availability of the machine and optimizes the operating costs.

Toolbox including tool set

• The well-equipped tool box including tool set is located under the step on the left-hand side of the machine. It is therefore well protected and easily accessible.

Easily accessible machine components.

• Regularly lubricating all lubrication points is essential for the correct and effective maintenance and thereby the value retention of the machine. To save time and make work easier, the lubrication points on Wacker Neuson wheel loaders are always in an easily accessible position.
• Since the lubrication points are easily accessible, the machine is lubricated more often than if the lubrication points are located in a position that is difficult to access. This in turn increases the longevity of the machine and increases value retention.

Split hydraulic hoses

• Wacker Neuson wheel loaders are designed with short hydraulic hose lengths in mind, and the hoses are split at several points. Therefore, if a hydraulic hose needs replacing, only the affected part will need to be replaced, not the entire hose in the hydraulic circuit. This speeds up repair times enormously and is also cost-efficient.

Fully automatic central lubrication unit

• The fully automatic central lubrication system enables the lubrication time and intervals to be set. Regular relubrication of all lubrication points increases the longevity and thus the value retention of the machine. It also saves time and money due to reduced maintenance.
