Meet the Lovol Alfa WL918K: a compact wheel loader known for its efficiency and versatility in various construction and agricultural tasks, and making inroads in the European and Australian markets.

Compact loader for heavy-duty needs

Lovol's new Alfa series of hydrostatic transmission (HST) machines, with its advanced features and high quality and reliability, continue to gain traction in Australian construction and earthmoving industries.

The latest addition to the Lovol arsenal brought in by Equipment Specialists Australia (ESA) is the WL918K, a 6-tonne operating weight, 2-tonne rated wheel loader.

According to ESA Operations Manager Lawrence Perkins, while the model is the smallest wheel loader in Lovol's range, it packs a punch well above its size, able to navigate smaller job spaces with ease, yet maximising production with HST drive for fast and smooth operation.

"With an ISO quick hitch for attachment options, this machine can handle all the garden centres and smaller sites with ease," he said.

"Ideal for moving materials across longer distances, the WL918K features a full Linde HST drive system, and full hydraulic wet brake axles, pumps and valves from Linde."
