STEEL MILL PACKAGE SPECIAL APPLICATION Kawasaki is proud to offer a comprehensive "Steel Mill" package for operation at steel mills where hot slag is handled. This package is designed with special options to protect the wheel loader, and operator, against heat, dust, and corrosion. Most importantly, it features enhanced safety to operators in severe working conditions.

TO PROTECT MACHINES AGAINST EXTREME HEAT FROM HOT SLAG.
TO PROTECT MACHINES FROM SEVERE DUSTY CONDITION OF STEEL MILLS.
Heat resistant wiring harnesses
Steel plate guard
High mounted air precleaner (auto-ejection type)
Various steel-plate guards are fitted to protect the important components of the machine from damage by extreme heat and impact from objects during operation. The guards on the rear chassis protect transmission, oil pan of engine and radiator. There is also an oil tank sight gauge guard.
High mounted precleaners reduce the amount of airborne particles that will be drawn into the precleaners.
Each wiring harness is individually covered in a special silicone/fiberglass-blended sheathing and then covered again with a silicone varnish to add heat-resistance.
rear chassis belly guard with bolt head guard
tank bottom guard
Screen for air intake of air conditioner condenser
sight gauge guard
The removable mesh-type screen, located on the airconditioner condenser, protects the air intake against dust and debris, which makes cleaning easier.
Heavy duty hotslug bucket With the use of thick steel and the added reinforcements, the hotslug bucket is resistant to heat, preventing itself from warping or disforming in handling heated materials.
Heat resistant hoses A combination of 'inner fiberglass wrapping' and 'outer steel woven-wire-mesh cover' protects standard high pressure oil hoses of main hydraulic line against heat, cutting and abrasion, which enhances reliability of the machine.
The turbine precleaners have a spinning rotor that ejects the airborne debris out of the air inhaled into engine. This type of precleaner helps to lessen the frequency of cleaning and replacing air cleaner filter.
Double dust seal The additional seal prevents dust from entering into the cylinders. It prevents damage by dust and extends the life of the cylinders.
※Please consult your local Kawasaki dealer for the availability.
Electrical equipment cover Steel box covers relay and fusible links in the engine room and keeps dust from accumulating, which prevents relay and fusible links from failing by dust.
Steel plate for main shell and side are thicker than that of normal buckets.
Windshield with steel pillars Pillars and glass retaining tabs ensure glass placement.
SAFETY
Additional reinforcements are available on request.
TO PROTECT OPERATORS WITH ENHANCED SAFETY.
ANTI-CORROSION TO PROTECT MACHINES AGAINST VARIOUS CORROSIVE AT STEEL MILLS. Stainless steel brake pipes
Silicone-sealed main bolts
Double urethane painting
The stainless steel brake pipes add corrosion-resistance for enhanced safety and reliability.
Silicone sealing on main bolts of axles and propeller shafts makes them more resistant to corrosion in high-temperature and humid condition at steel mills.
The additional urethane paint coating creates an additional barrier that resists corrosion. Frame structures, transmission and axles Standard
Option
Urethane painting
Double-Urethane painting
Parking brake override switch
Remote engine shutdown switch
The switch, located at the outside of the machine for easy access, can forcibly release parking brake in the event that the hydraulic system, which disengages the parking brake, does not work. The disabled machine can easily be towed to safe area once the parking brake is released with this override.
The shutdown switch, located at the rear of the machine for easy access, can stop the engine forcibly outside the cabin when required. It prevents oil from leaking, which can minimize the damage in case of a fire.
Transmission override switch for F1/R1
Metal surface
The switch is located in easy reach of the operator. In the event that the transmission controller might fail, this override allows the operator to manually engage 1st gear forward or 1st gear reverse so the machine can be moved to a safe area for troubleshooting and repair.
※Please consult your local Kawasaki dealer for the available optional items.
