Kawasaki K3VL Pump

Kawasaki K3VL Pump

Genuine KPM, Authorised NZ Support

As New Zealand's authorised distributor for Kawasaki (KPM) hydraulic components, FPD supplies and supports the K3VL series — variable-displacement axial piston pumps of swash-plate design, purpose-built for construction, off-highway and general industrial machinery that need precise, medium-to-high pressure control rather than just raw output. A refined internal design significantly reduces pressure pulsation, giving smoother, more consistent operation than older-generation pumps.

Why K3VL

• Advanced control flexibility — load-sensing, remote unload, variable pressure, torque-limiting and horsepower control are all available, so the pump can be matched precisely to your machine's hydraulic system rather than forcing a compromise
• Reduced pressure pulsation, contributing to smoother operation and lower stress on downstream hydraulic components
• High pump efficiency and low noise output, supporting better fuel economy and a more comfortable operating environment
• Wide displacement coverage from compact 28cc units up to high-flow 200cc, including an impeller-equipped 200cc variant for higher self-priming speeds
• Proven across a broad range of equipment types, not just excavators — making it a practical choice if you're standardising pump selection across a mixed fleet

Displacement range: 28–200cc, rated to 320 bar continuous pressure.

Common applications: excavators, wheel loaders, crawler drills and pile drivers, cranes (crawler, rough terrain and truck-mounted), concrete pumps, crushers, asphalt pavers, forklifts, manlifts and fire engines, plus a range of agricultural, forestry and industrial machinery.
