ZF driveline technology and axle systems
for construction equipment

More productivity, less cost

ZF innovations in driveline and chassis technology pay for themselves and have advantages for operators and drivers alike:

• Fuel economy
• Reduction of running costs
• More driving comfort
• Better environmental sustainability

ZF sets new global standards in developing drive systems. For instance, the HC 85 hydrostatic transmission increases the speed of construction machinery by up to 20 percent, while at the same time curbing fuel consumption. When it's fast, precise work as well as maximum productivity and reduced operating costs you’re after, then you can rest assured that the perfectly matched system components ZF ERGOPOWER and ZF MULTISTEER/MULTITRAC are up to the task.

Integrated modular high tech

With its EFFICIENCY PACKAGE, ZF fulfills the most rigorous demands for combined transmission, axle and software development. Only with intelligent software modules that are integrated into the transmission do construction vehicles become efficient and comfortable. ZF offers the finest in on-board electronics and thus helps reduces the risk of failure to a minimum. EFFICIENCY PACKAGE options ensure greater operating and driving comfort. What's more, operating and maintenance costs are lowered while output is increased. Fuel savings can even reach 20 percent with full utilization of the performance package.

Drive systems for construction machinery

ZF always has the right solution for different types of construction machinery: the ZF WG series is ideally suited for wheel loaders, graders, dumpers, telehandlers and backhoe loaders when the requisite working cycle has to be fully exhausted. ZF's intelligent drive system always provides power where it's needed and gives the vehicle remarkable maneuverability and maximum road adhesion at the same time. For more power in the dumper, ZF offers the ERGOPOWER LII hydrodynamic powershift transmission to complement the WG series. With the perfectly matched HL transmissions, newly developed for mobile excavators, ZF combines power with extremely accurate positioning.

Transmission systems for concrete mixer trucks

To achieve the best compacting results, road rollers must be equipped with technology that helps vehicles combine the maximum application of force to the ground with continuously variable speed. For deployment on uneven surfaces, optimal weight distribution is essential to ensure maximum traction. The MTC series ZF roller axle benefits from the proven components of other ZF axle series with regard to durability and flexibility

Axle systems for road rollers

Two types of transmissions, which focus on efficient, proven technology and enable operation with little wear and maintenance even at high workloads, are available for concrete mixer trucks: the PLM series transmissions with integrated motor and cooling fan, and the P series transmissions with external hydromotor for drum sizes up to 12 cu m.
