Description
The Wacker Neuson EW65 wheeled excavator is a versatile and efficient machine, perfectly balancing power, mobility, and precision. Designed to meet the demands of urban construction and utility projects, this 6-ton compact excavator offers unparalleled performance and flexibility.
Key Features of the EW65 Wheeled Excavator
- Self-Propelled Mobility: The EW65’s road travel mode enables operators to drive directly to job sites, eliminating the need for additional transportation and reducing both time and costs. Its variable drive system, capable of speeds up to 18.6 mph (30 km/h), ensures swift movement between locations.
- Advanced Hydraulic System: Equipped with a load-sensing hydraulic system (LUDV), the EW65 wheeled excavator maintains consistent speeds across multiple boom movements, regardless of load variations. This feature enhances operational efficiency and precision.
- Triple Boom Articulation: The articulated triple boom design provides enhanced maneuverability, allowing the bucket to be positioned close to the machine’s undercarriage or dozer blade. This design is particularly beneficial in confined spaces or when working around obstacles, offering greater dump heights and digging depths.
- 3-Point Kinematics: This innovative bucket linkage system extends the bucket’s rotation angle to 200 degrees—10% more than conventional designs. The increased rotation enhances vertical digging depth and breakout forces, reducing the need for frequent machine repositioning and boosting overall efficiency.

Operator Comfort and Safety
The mini excavator’s ergonomically designed cab offers operators a spacious and comfortable environment, enhancing productivity during extended work periods. Features of this compact excavator such as an adjustable air-sprung seat, multiple windshield positions, a sunshade, and a large skylight ensure optimal visibility and comfort.
Support and Stability
Recognizing the importance of stability during heavy excavation tasks, the EW65 wheeled excavator offers various support configurations. Operators can utilize a dozer blade, front and rear stabilizers, or a combination thereof, ensuring stable footing even in challenging ground conditions.
Efficiency and Maintenance
The EW65 wheeled excavator features two operating modes—ECO and POWER—allowing operators to tailor the machine’s performance to specific tasks, optimizing fuel consumption and work efficiency. Additionally, the tiltable cabin design facilitates easy access for maintenance and service, minimizing downtime and ensuring the excavator remains in peak operating condition.
The Wacker Neuson EW65 wheeled excavator stands out as a compact yet powerful solution for various construction and utility applications. Its combination of mobility, advanced hydraulic systems, and operator-centric design makes it an invaluable asset for projects requiring efficiency, precision, and adaptability.
