Wacker Neuson EW65: Mobility and Power in a Compact Package
Built for Maximum Jobsite Efficiency
The EW65 gives contractors the flexibility of a wheeled excavator with the digging power of a larger machine. Because it operates as a 6 ton excavator, crews handle trenching, grading, and lifting tasks with ease while moving quickly between job sites. As a versatile compact excavator, it balances strength and maneuverability, making it perfect for both urban construction and utility projects.
Engine Strength and Hydraulic Precision
The EW65 runs on a reliable 58.6-horsepower turbo diesel engine, so it pushes through demanding jobs with confidence. Its load-sensing hydraulic system (LUDV) ensures smooth, consistent control, even during simultaneous movements. With up to 200 degrees of bucket rotation, this mini excavator digs deeper and handles breakout forces without constant repositioning.
- 58.6-hp Perkins turbo diesel engine for consistent output
- Hydraulic pressure of 3,481 psi for superior digging power
- Maximum digging depth of 12.5 ft and dumping height of 14.4 ft
- Two operating modes: ECO for fuel savings and POWER for heavy demand
Road Travel for Fast Transitions
Contractors save time and transport costs because the EW65 drives directly to the job. Its travel mode reaches speeds up to 18.6 mph, allowing quick moves between work areas. This mobility makes the wheeled excavator a strong choice for road projects, city construction, and utility repairs.
- Road-ready design with travel speeds up to 18.6 mph
- Variable drive system for smooth transitions
- Reduces reliance on external transport equipment
Triple Boom and Stability Design
The EW65 uses a triple boom articulation system, giving operators flexibility in tight spaces. Crews position the bucket close to the machine or extend it for greater dumping heights. With multiple support configurations—dozer blade, stabilizers, or both—the excavator stays steady on challenging ground.
- Triple boom articulation for tight-space maneuverability
- 3-point kinematics for a full 200° bucket rotation
- Configurable stabilizers and blade for maximum stability
Operator Comfort and Visibility
Wacker Neuson built the EW65 for long workdays without fatigue. The spacious cab, ergonomic controls, and panoramic visibility create a productive environment. Features like an adjustable air-sprung seat, skylight, and climate options ensure operators remain comfortable while staying focused on precision.
- Adjustable seat and ergonomic cab layout
- Large skylight and wide visibility for safety
- Simple joystick and pedal controls for intuitive handling
Versatility Across Applications
From digging and trenching to material placement, the EW65 adapts to diverse industries. Contractors rely on it as a compact excavator for urban jobs, a 6 ton excavator for mid-size projects, and a mini excavator where precision and mobility matter most.
- Construction: Handle trenching, digging, and lifting
- Roadwork: Move quickly between city projects
- Utilities: Deliver precise performance in confined areas
