Wacker Neuson

About Wacker Neuson Construction Machinery

Wacker Neuson is one of the world's most respected and historically significant construction equipment manufacturers, with a corporate history spanning more than 175 years. The company's story began in 1848 when Johann Christian Wacker founded a forge workshop in Dresden, Germany . Since then, innovation has been part of the company's DNA, with the business continually developing and revolutionizing the construction industry through its spirit of invention and power of innovation .

In 1930, Hermann Wacker invented the world's first electric rammer, laying the cornerstone for the company's soil compaction expertise and establishing a legacy of innovation that continues to this day . This was followed by the world's first internal vibrator for concrete consolidation in 1934, which revolutionized the concrete industry . The company has since accumulated over 200 patents and utility models that have found their way successfully onto the market .

The modern Wacker Neuson Group was formed through a series of strategic mergers and acquisitions. In 2005, Weidemann GmbH joined the group, bringing articulated wheel loaders and compact equipment for the agricultural sector . In 2007, Neuson Kramer Baumaschinen AG merged with Wacker Construction Equipment AG, creating a mutually complementary product offering and extended sales reach . The company went public in May 2007 and became Wacker Neuson SE in 2009 .

Wacker Neuson entered the excavator market through Neuson Hydraulik GmbH, founded in 1981, which laid the foundation for one of the company's most significant product segments . The first hydraulic mini excavator was introduced in 1984, followed by numerous innovations including the Vertical Digging System (VDS) in 1988, which allows precise vertical digging even on uneven terrain . Since 2012, excavators have been developed and manufactured in Hörsching, near Linz, Austria .

In Australia, Wacker Neuson excavators are a well-regarded and widely operated presence across landscaping, civil construction, utility, and earthmoving applications. The distinctive Wacker Neuson compact excavator range — known for powerful hydraulic performance, reliable engineering, and practical operator-friendly design — has built a loyal following among Australian owner-operators and contracting businesses who value the brand's combination of performance, reliability, and compact dimensions. With a growing installed base of Wacker Neuson excavators across the country, access to quality Wacker Neuson excavator parts through a reliable local supplier like Lucas Parts is essential for keeping Australian operations running productively.

Wacker Neuson Electric Excavators — Zero Emission Innovation

Wacker Neuson has been a pioneer in electric construction equipment since introducing its zero emission series in 2014 . The company has taken a leading role in the electrification of construction equipment, with a portfolio that now includes electric vibratory plates, excavators, wheel and track dumpers, and in the near future, electric telehandlers . This means that a typical inner-city construction site can be operated without direct exhaust emissions and with extremely low noise levels .

The Wacker Neuson EZ17e fully electric mini excavator, launched in 2020, brought emission-free construction sites to life . Combined with other e-machines from Wacker Neuson's portfolio, the EZ17e allows an entire construction site to be operated with minimal noise levels and zero local emissions . The new EZ10e excavator, announced in 2025, makes it possible to work without local exhaust emissions with a 1.2-tonne operating weight, making it particularly well suited to applications with a restricted floor load such as indoor work. Its 14-kWh lithium-ion battery enables application times of up to eight hours, with minimal charging times and parallel operation at the socket facilitating continuous operation .

Wacker Neuson is also focusing on the entire zero emission ecosystem — from charging infrastructure to services, financing offers, and a lifecycle view of the battery. One example is the Charging Box, a "power bank for the construction site" that provides a continuous supply of energy even when no power supply is available on site .

Wacker Neuson ET Series — The New Generation of Mini Excavators

In spring 2026, Wacker Neuson launched a technically redesigned generation of mini excavators in the 2-tonne class — the ET18, ET20 and ET25 . These models represent a significant advancement in mini excavator technology, developed with a focus on versatile application areas, efficient work performance, and a high level of operating comfort in daily construction site use .

A key distinguishing feature in this class is the parallel auxiliary control circuits, which can be selected and operated at the touch of a button on the joystick without manual switching . This allows the mini excavators to be controlled smoothly and precisely even when performing several movements simultaneously. The control unit has been adopted from larger excavator models, providing intuitive and sensitive control for shaft digging and precision work along existing edges .

All three models feature a hydraulically telescoping travel gear with a minimum track width of 990mm (ET18 and ET20) or 1100mm (ET25) for confined access roads . An optional continuously variable upper carriage tilt allows the upper carriage to be positioned vertically on all three models for work on slopes or along curbs . An integrated quick-change function with two-button operation and pressure release reduces setup time when switching between attachments such as backhoe buckets, trench clearing buckets, and hydraulic hammers .

Wacker Neuson Mini Excavator Rubber Tracks — Selection and Maintenance

Rubber tracks are the single most frequently replaced wear item on Wacker Neuson mini excavators and compact excavators — and selecting the correct replacement track specification is critical to correct fit and optimum track performance on your machine. Wacker Neuson mini excavator rubber tracks are defined by three key dimensions — width, pitch, and link count — and all three must be correct for the track to fit and function properly. Using a track with incorrect pitch or link count — even if the width appears similar — will result in incorrect track tension, accelerated sprocket and idler wear, and potential track derailment during operation.

Track compound selection is also an important consideration for Australian Wacker Neuson excavator operators. Standard rubber track compound is suitable for most construction and landscaping applications on mixed ground surfaces. For Wacker Neuson excavator operators working predominantly on highly abrasive surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, gravel, or crushed rock — common in urban construction, road works, and civil applications — premium high-durability compound tracks offer significantly longer service life at a moderately higher initial cost that is typically recovered through extended track replacement intervals.

Key rubber track maintenance practices for Wacker Neuson mini excavator owners include regular track tension inspection and adjustment — both over-tight and over-loose track tension significantly accelerate undercarriage and track wear — and removal of accumulated mud, clay, and debris from the undercarriage at the end of each working day. In clay-heavy Australian soils — common across many Victorian, South Australian, and Queensland construction sites — mud packing in the undercarriage is one of the most common causes of accelerated rubber track and roller wear on mini excavators.

Frequently Asked Questions — Wacker Neuson Excavator Parts

How do I find the correct Wacker Neuson excavator part for my machine?

The most reliable method is to locate your machine's model designation and serial number from the machine identification plate — typically found on the cab or canopy frame or on the main frame — and have these details ready when you contact us. Our team can cross-reference your serial number against Wacker Neuson's parts catalogue to identify the correct part before you order.

What is the difference between the Wacker Neuson EZ and ET excavator series?

The Wacker Neuson EZ series are zero tail swing compact excavators — machines where the upper structure and counterweight rotate within the width of the tracks, allowing safe operation in very confined spaces . The Wacker Neuson ET series are conventional compact excavators with a standard tail swing design . The EZ17e is a fully electric zero tail swing excavator, while the EZ10e is a 1.2-tonne zero tail swing electric excavator . The ET18, ET20, and ET25 are 2-tonne class conventional mini excavators with hydraulically telescoping travel gear for confined access . Both series share Wacker Neuson's engineering excellence but have different machine-specific components.

How do I measure the correct rubber track size for my Wacker Neuson excavator?

Wacker Neuson mini excavator rubber tracks are defined by three dimensions — width in millimetres, pitch in millimetres, and link count. The width is measured across the full width of the track. The pitch is measured between the centres of adjacent track links. The link count is the total number of links in the complete track. All three dimensions must be confirmed before ordering a replacement track. The easiest and most reliable way to confirm these dimensions is to provide us with your Wacker Neuson machine model and serial number — our team can identify the correct track specification from our records without needing to physically measure the existing track.

How long do rubber tracks last on a Wacker Neuson mini excavator?

Rubber track service life on a Wacker Neuson mini excavator varies significantly depending on the operating surface, track tension maintenance, and the overall condition of the undercarriage system. In typical mixed-surface construction and landscaping conditions, Wacker Neuson mini excavator rubber tracks generally last between 1,000 and 1,500 operating hours. Operating predominantly on highly abrasive surfaces such as concrete, asphalt, gravel, or crushed rock will significantly reduce track life — sometimes to as few as 400 to 600 hours in severe cases. Correct track tension adjustment and regular undercarriage cleaning — particularly mud and clay removal — are the most effective maintenance practices for maximising rubber track service life on Wacker Neuson excavators in Australian conditions.

What are the most common maintenance items on Wacker Neuson mini excavators?

The most frequently replaced maintenance and service items on Wacker Neuson mini excavators in Australian service include engine oil and oil filter at the recommended service intervals — typically every 200 to 250 operating hours — fuel filter replacement every 400 to 500 hours, hydraulic oil and hydraulic filter replacement at the manufacturer's recommended intervals, rubber track tension inspection and adjustment every 50 hours and track replacement when worn beyond serviceable limits, bucket teeth and cutting edge replacement based on wear monitoring, and hydraulic cylinder seal kit replacement on higher-hour machines. Wacker Neuson offers maintenance kits customized to the respective machine type and maintenance interval for reliable and efficient maintenance .

Does Wacker Neuson make electric excavators?

Yes. Wacker Neuson has been a pioneer in electric construction equipment since introducing its zero emission series in 2014 . The EZ17e is a fully electric mini excavator that was launched in 2020, making emission-free construction sites a reality . The new EZ10e excavator, announced in 2025, is a 1.2-tonne zero tail swing electric excavator with a 14-kWh lithium-ion battery enabling up to eight hours of operation . Wacker Neuson is also developing electric telehandlers and offers a comprehensive zero emission ecosystem including charging infrastructure and services .
