Original ZF lubricant from ATS
ZF PowerFluid Plus — protection for machines that work under load, not in theory
ZF PowerFluid Plus is built for construction, agricultural and industrial driveline systems where high torque, shock loads and long operating hours are normal. It supports the protection of gears, bearings and axle components in ZF applications that need reliable lubrication under heavy mechanical stress.
High-performance ZF fluid for heavy off-highway axles, wheel heads and final-drive applications
05, 17, 21
Construction machinery axles, grader wheel heads, integrated brakes, backhoe loader rear axles, telescopic handlers, compact electric loaders and agricultural/final-drive axle families
PowerFluid Plus is intended for off-highway and axle applications where the correct load class can allow longer service intervals.
Why Choose Original ZF PowerFluid Plus
PowerFluid Plus is tied to load classes and ZF axle/final-drive families, which determine whether extended service is allowed.
- For TE-ML 05 applications, subsequent intervals can reach 4,000 hours in Load Class 1 with PowerFluid Plus.
- For TE-ML 21 axle families, the same product has separate initial and subsequent-change logic, so ATS should identify the axle before quoting fluid and quantity.
