Discover the future of excavation with Wacker Neuson’s ET18—engineered for those who demand more from their equipment.
Powerful drive system
- Thanks to the high performance of the drive system, the maximum power of the excavator is available at every point of operation. This brings up to 30% higher power for an even better performance.


Hydraulic joystick operation
- The ergonomic and sturdy joysticks, which work completely proportionally, expand the functions and possibilities for controlling the excavator. The operator can carry out movements more precisely and work with increased concentration.
Hydraulic telescopic travel gear with dozer blade extension
- The hydraulically telescoped travel gear with a max. outer width of 1300 mm gives stability. In no time, it can be retracted to a width of 990 mm. With the foldable dozer blade extension, this makes individual adjustment to the job site conditions possible. Meanwhile, the extension elements are always connected to the machine and thus do not get lost


VDS Vertical Digging System
- The vertical digging system compensates for slopes of up to 15 degrees, making it possible to vertically excavate on a slope. This is not only ergonomic for the operator, but it also saves time and also means less excavated material.
- Up to 25 percent material and time savings when excavating and filling. Safe working and higher stability in sloping spaces.
- The same swing power over 360 degrees allows fatigue-free work with the seat position remaining the same.
Second cabin door for entry and exit on both sides
- The excavator cabin can be optionally equipped with a second driver’s door. This makes getting in and out easier, especially in narrow or sloped spaces.

More Features
2 Travel speeds
- The excavator is equipped with a second travel speed level as standard. This allows him to quickly change position on the construction site and\nsave valuable time.

Compact Dimensions
- The excavator is equipped with a second travel speed level as standard. This allows him to quickly change position on the construction site and save valuable time.
Easy service and maintenance access
- Easy service, thanks to wide-opening engine hood, allows easy access to all parts.
- No disassembly of heavy parts necessary, additional easily replaceable wear parts.
- Quick and unrestricted access. Hydraulic and engine oil filters, air filter, water separator and also the tank filler neck are ideally accessible. Low service costs.


Laterally raised cast bumper
- The extremely sturdy raised bumper made of massive cast iron prevents damage to the rear, thus contributing to the long service life of the machine. Along with the high quality, it is also visually impressive as a modern design element.
Up to four additional factory-installed control circuits
- The optional additional control circuits allow the excavator to be equipped with a variety of attachments. This increases the applications and utilization of the excavator.


Thermal resistance
- The excavator can work under full load up to an ambient temperature of 45°C/113°F. The stable temperature level results in a longer service life for the hydraulic components and increases productivity.
- Lower temperature level - longer life, work without loss of performance.
Easy transportation by car trailer
- With the car trailer to the next construction site? No problem - the low weight enables transportation, including attachment tools, using a 3.5 t trailer


Hydraulically pilot-controlled travel pedals
- The hydraulically pilot-controlled travel pedals provide comfortable and precise control without mechanical wear. Driving with foot control leaves the hands free for other functions. This saves time and increases operating comfort.
Comfortable, fully glazed cab
- The large, fully glazed and tiltable cabin with roof window offers the operator an optimal 360° visibility of his work area. This gives the operator a good view of his working area, colleagues and any dangers. Meanwhile, available despite this.
- It can be easily disassembled for service and repair work. All hydraulic functions of the excavator meanwhile remain available despite this.
