Built for Confined Spaces and Diverse Applications
The ZT916 compact wheel loader is specifically engineered to excel in working environments where larger equipment simply cannot operate. Its compact 5470×1635×2700mm dimensions allow it to easily navigate through standard warehouse doorways, narrow urban construction alleys, residential neighborhoods and agricultural greenhouses. The 230mm ground clearance and 12-16.5 rugged tires provide excellent traction on muddy farm fields, gravel roads and uneven construction sites. The Xinchai 490 water-injection engine delivers reliable 32kW power output while maintaining exceptional fuel efficiency, making it ideal for extended operation in remote areas with limited fuel access. Whether you're working on a small construction project, farm operation, landscaping job or municipal maintenance task, the ZT916 delivers the perfect balance of power and maneuverability.


Solving Your Most Pressing Small Equipment Challenges
The ZT916 compact wheel loader addresses the unique challenges faced by small business owners, farmers and contractors who need reliable material handling equipment without the high cost and complexity of larger machinery. By eliminating the need for manual labor and outdated equipment, it can increase productivity by up to 250% while reducing labor costs significantly. The fuel-efficient Xinchai 490 engine consumes only 3-4 liters of diesel per hour, which is less than one-third the fuel consumption of a 3-ton loader, drastically lowering operating costs. Its compact size also eliminates the need for expensive heavy-duty transport trucks, as it can be easily towed behind a standard pickup truck. The versatile design accepts a wide range of attachments including pallet forks, grapples, snow blades and augers, allowing one machine to perform multiple tasks and maximize your return on investment.
