The UHI UWL420PR is a heavy-duty wheel loader designed for demanding earthmoving, civil construction, quarry, farm and site preparation applications, combining powerful front loading performance with the added versatility of a rear-mounted ripper.
Powered by a 177HP Cummins turbocharged diesel engine with intercooler, the UWL420PR delivers the power and torque required for heavy material handling and challenging ground conditions. With a 12-tonne operating weight, 4.0-tonne load capacity and 2.0m³ GP bucket, it is built to handle gravel, soil, aggregate, rock, mulch, feed and other bulk materials efficiently.
A key advantage of the UWL420PR is the REAR RIPPER.
Unlike a conventional wheel loader designed mainly for loading and material handling, the rear ripper gives the UWL420PR an additional ground-breaking capability. It can be used to penetrate and loosen compacted soil, hard-packed ground, gravel surfaces and previously disturbed construction areas before loading, grading or further earthmoving work.
This makes the UWL420PR particularly useful for site preparation, road and track maintenance, farm development, clearing work, quarry areas and civil projects where hard ground needs to be broken up before material can be efficiently moved.
The combination of a front GP bucket and rear ripper allows the operator to rip compacted material, turn the machine around and then load or relocate the loosened material with the same machine — reducing the need for additional equipment on site.
The UWL420PR is equipped with a HANGCHI electronically controlled transmission, providing reliable power delivery and easy operation. Automatic gear shifting assists during travel, while transmission power cut-off and hill-hold functions provide improved control when working on gradients or during repetitive loading cycles.
An integrated pilot joystick combines loader operation, gear selection and quick-coupler controls for convenient one-hand operation. The CAT-type quick coupler provides a strong and versatile connection system for compatible front attachments, allowing the machine to quickly change between the supplied GP bucket, pallet forks and other suitable attachments.
Inside the enclosed cabin, a full-colour LCD touchscreen display provides clear operating information, while ergonomic controls and excellent visibility help reduce operator fatigue during long working days.
Supplied with GP Bucket, Forks and Rear Ripper, the UWL420PR is a highly versatile machine for businesses that need more than a conventional wheel loader.

REAR RIPPER – BUILT FOR TOUGH GROUND CONDITIONS
The rear ripper significantly expands the working capability of the UWL420PR beyond conventional loading applications.
Ideal applications include:
• Breaking up hard and compacted soil
• Loosening hard-packed gravel surfaces
• Preparing ground before excavation or loading
• Construction site preparation
• Rural road and access-track maintenance
• Farm and property development
• Breaking compacted ground before grading
• Quarry and earthmoving site preparation
• Loosening previously disturbed or compacted fill
• Preparing hard ground before material removal
Instead of bringing a separate machine onto site purely to loosen compacted ground, the UWL420PR can rip the material first and then use its front loader to move, stockpile or load it.
This makes the UWL420PR particularly suitable for civil contractors, earthmoving businesses, farms, quarries, councils and property owners looking for a powerful multi-purpose machine capable of both ground preparation and heavy material handling.
ONE MACHINE – RIP, LOAD, CARRY & HANDLE.
The UHI UWL420PR combines 177HP Cummins power, heavy-duty loader performance and rear ripping capability in one versatile platform, making it an excellent choice for demanding Australian working conditions.
