Caterpillar 906 vs Wacker Neuson WL52
The Caterpillar 906 is about 16% heavier than the Wacker Neuson WL52 (5,500 vs 4,750 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Caterpillar and Wacker Neuson in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
