Wacker Neuson : two new 3.5-ton excavators
With the conventional excavator ET35 and the zero-tail excavator EZ36 , WackerNeuson is presenting two new models . The two new models in the 3.5- ton class , the ET35 and EZ36 , are characterised by quick work cycles as well as particularly precise and efficient work . This is made possible by optimised hydraulics and re-engineered motor-pump management . The EZ36 was designed as a zero-tail excavator without rear overhang , specifically for work in confined or confusing construction sites , frequently in urban areas . The operator , therefore , does not have to worry about damaging the machine or blocking traffic while working . The rear of the compact EZ36 excavator never protrudes over the undercarriage . At the same time , the cabin interior of both models is designed to be spacious and ergonomic .
For lifting heavy loads , the externally located guide rollers as well as an optimised weight distribution give the excavators high stability . An infinitely variable swivelling dozer blade with floating position is also part of the optional equipment .
Another world first that is offered for both models is the hydraulic clamp for the bucket — the ‘ hydraulic thumb ’, making gripping work easier , as in removing loose material such as branches or rocks . Rubber and steel tracks are available for both models .
Optionally , the excavators can be equipped with the Vertical Digging System ( VDS ). This tiltable revolving superstructure from Wacker Neuson creates additional flexibility in application . Even on uneven surfaces , and inclines and declines of up to 27 % are compensated for at the push of a button . VDS not only provides greater safety , but also increased efficiency : Through exact vertical digging , the end user saves up to 25 % in material and time when excavating and filling . The upright seating position relieves the back and allows the operator fatigue-free work . As the only manufacturer in the compact excavator segment , Wacker Neuson has been offering the revolving superstructure tilting function for over 20 years .
The new design of the excavators ET35 and EZ36 offers an ideal line-of-sight . Thanks to the standard two-part front windshield , the operator can adjust the cabin to the current construction site situation in a few easy steps . The operator can affix the lower and upper part of the window under the cab roof , facilitating cabin ventilation . The separate removal

and cumbersome storage of the lower front window is also omitted , and the windows are better protected from damage . In addition , this system offers various opening versions , such as the ventilation position or dialog position . Lateral sliding windows in the front and lower area can be opened in both directions , providing optimal air circulation . In addition , the air conditioner ’ s increased power enables the cabin to be cooled to 16 degrees below the exterior temperature .
Different adjustment options for the seat and armrest as well as numerous storage compartments , including a charging option for cell phones and a USB connection , provide additional operating comfort . Based on the operating concept of the Wacker Neuson excavator models of the 6 to 9-ton class , the ET35 and EZ36 models optionally offer a 3.5-inch display , in combination with a jog dial control element ( rotary push knob ), which is known from larger models . This is used for pre-setting and storing discharge volumes for hydraulic attachments , the engine speed control , as well as the monitoring of various functions .
The tie-down points were also reworked : In total , eight large tie-down lugs on the vehicle chassis and on the ‘ dozer blade ’ ensure quick and easy lashing down , ensuring safe transport of the machine . Two engine versions with different features are available for each model . No exhaust gas aftertreatment is required . The laterally placed engine in conjunction with the tilting cabin offer a very good and quick maintenance access . This saves time and money in application .
