Built in Australia Since 1981—Engineered for Unrivalled Strength, Reach and Reliability
The Kanga 8 Series DW825 combines decades of local craftsmanship with cutting-edge design to give you a compact loader that outperforms and outlasts the competition.
Unmatched Lift Capacity and Reach
Higher Lift, Longer Reach
With best-in-class hydraulic power, the DW828 tackles heavy buckets and demanding attachments quickly. Load trucks, hoppers or hoppers in fewer passes and move material farther without repositioning—saving time and fuel.
Work-Ready Attachments
From high-flow augers and hydraulic breakers to heavy-duty buckets and pallet forks, the 8 Series handles them all. One machine adapts to every task, so you don’t need a fleet of specialised loaders.
Four-Wheel Drive for Any Terrain
Independent High-Torque 4-Wheel Drive
Navigate soft soils, steep grades and loose gravel with rock-solid traction. Power is delivered evenly to all wheels, preventing wheel slip and maximizing push force on challenging ground.
Huge 23-Inch Tyres & 194 mm Ground Clearance
Roll over rocks, roots and rubble—without slowing down. The extra clearance and puncture-resistant tyres keep you moving in the roughest conditions.
Rugged Reliability for Harsh Environments
Kubota Diesel Engine
Industry-proven Kubota power delivers consistent torque at low RPMs for smooth operation and long engine life—day in, day out.
Two-Stage Donaldson 5" Air Cleaner
Trap dust and debris before they reach the engine. Extended service intervals mean less downtime, lower filter costs and more hours on the clock.
Operator-First Safety and Comfort
Spacious, Enclosed Safety Cell
Work with confidence inside a reinforced operator cage that shields you from side impacts and falling debris. The wide stance platform reduces fatigue, so you stay sharp on long shifts.
Ergonomic Controls
Soft-touch levers and optimally placed joysticks give you precise loader movements with minimal effort. Focus on the job, not your hands.
Efficiency That Boosts Your Bottom Line
Faster Cycle Times
Greater breakout force and rapid hydraulic response mean you finish tasks quicker—letting you bid on more jobs and increase revenue.
Australian Quality Assurance
Hand-built in Australia since 1981, every DW825 is subjected to rigorous testing to ensure long-term durability, easy servicing and outstanding resale value.

(*)Power Rating is the net power of the production engine, only as measured in accordance with SAE J1349 at 3600 RPM. Mass production engines vary from this value. Actual power output for the engine installed in the delivered machine may vary, depending on numerous factors. These factors can include engine operation in the application, environmental conditions, and other variables.
(**)Tipping Load and Rated Operating Capacity (ROC) have been determined to ISO 14397-1, though the values shown here need to be adjusted for specific attachments. Refer to the section of the Operator’s Manual “Practice Safety at All Times” for Tipping Load and ROC values, for the range of Kanga bucket and fork attachments. Note that ROC is 50% of the Tipping Load for wheel loaders, and 45% for Kanga “over tyre track” loaders.
