When aiming to maximize your mining operation’s productivity, the focus is on cost per ton. The versatile WE1850 is engineered to enhance both aspects of the equation: Lower cycle times and increased payload translate to higher productivity and more tons moved, with several new features designed to minimize your fuel and maintenance costs.

  • Up to a 45% fuel consumption reduction *
  • 35% CO2 reduction*
  • Up to a 10-15% TCO advantage*

*Compared to mechanical loaders or hydraulic excavator machines

Product Features and benefits:

Fuel-Efficient SR Hybrid Drive System:

The SR Hybrid Drive system stands out for its remarkable fuel efficiency. By fully harnessing regenerative technology, the electrical motors seamlessly transition into generators during braking or retarding, channeling power back into the electrical system. This ingenious design translates to a remarkable 45% reduction in fuel consumption compared to wheel loaders employing mechanical drive systems.

On-Demand Peak Power with KESS:

In tandem with the SR Hybrid Drive, the Kinetic Energy Storage System (KESS) plays a pivotal role. It adeptly captures substantial horsepower generated during braking and redirects it to meet peak power demands. The outcome is swift cycle times without a proportional spike in fuel consumption.

Enhanced Productivity with Larger Payload Option:

Engineered for productivity, the WE1850-3 wheel loader offers a larger payload option. It excels at center-loading haulage trucks with payload capacities ranging from 240 to 360 tons.

Operator-Efficient Controls through LINCS II:

The LINCS II network control system provides instantaneous, real-time feedback on critical metrics. From bucket height and angle to individual bucket payload and total tons moved, this system empowers operators to maximize productivity by adapting to dynamic conditions.

Operator Comfort at the Core:

Prioritizing operator comfort, the loader features a spacious, environmentally controlled cab with excellent visibility. Equipped with digital joysticks for responsive control and a highly adjustable, heated/cooled seat, it ensures a comfortable and ergonomic operating experience.

Efficient Maintenance Design:

With multiple design features aimed at cost-effective maintenance, the integrated, patented drive system minimizes components, resulting in extended maintenance intervals. Multiple access points facilitate swift component change-outs, maximizing machine uptime.

Versatility in Handling Site Duties:

Designed for versatility, this loader is ideal for operations with frequent equipment relocations. Capable of keeping the pit floor clean, maintaining level surfaces without support equipment, and excelling in berm maintenance, road repair, and cutting ramps, it proves indispensable in various site duties.

Efficient Hydraulic System:

The closed-center hydraulic system complements the SR Hybrid Drive, enhancing efficiency by reducing parasitic horsepower loads on the engine. This results in decreased fuel consumption and cooler operating temperatures, promoting an extended service life for hydraulic components.

Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Tier 4 Compliance:

The efficiency gains of the SR Hybrid Drive system, stemming from regenerative braking and the energy storage system, significantly reduce fuel burn. This translates into a noteworthy reduction in CO² emissions per ton of material moved compared to mechanical drive systems, ensuring compliance with Tier 4 environmental standards.
