Product Introduction
The 968 6 Ton Wheel Loader is a heavy-duty construction machine designed for maximum performance, durability, and operator comfort. Equipped with a Weichai WD10G240E21 inline water-cooled diesel engine delivering 178 kW at 2200 rpm, this loader provides strong power and excellent fuel efficiency. Its full hydraulic pilot system ensures smooth, precise control, while a single-unit, three-element centrifugal torque converter and fixed-axis power shift gearbox allow efficient and responsive operation under heavy loads.
The machine’s robust frame, reinforced drive axles, and “Z” type bucket mechanism provide high breakout and tractive forces, making it suitable for demanding earthmoving, mining, and material handling tasks. The spacious cabin with ergonomic seating and excellent visibility ensures comfort and safety for operators during long working hours.
