Product Features and benefits:

  • New Bucket Design: A redesigned bucket enhances loader productivity by up to 7%.
  • Easy Operation: The Advanced Joystick Steering System (AJSS) and Electronic Pilot Control (EPC) work in harmony, ensuring that this wheel loader is user-friendly.
  • Variable Traction Control System: Adjust the maximum rimpull from 100% to 20% to match ground conditions and minimize tire slippage.
  • Throttle Lock: Set the engine’s RPM to a constant speed for faster cycle times. The auto-deceleration feature lowers the engine to low idle during idle times, potentially reducing fuel consumption.
  • Smooth Approaches: The modulation clutch, controlled by the left brake pedal, modulates tractive effort from 100% to 20% of available rimpull output, facilitating smooth approaches and speed reduction when loading haul trucks.
  • Comfortable Cab: The newly designed, low-noise cab features an air suspension and a heated seat, enhancing operator comfort.
  • Electronically Controlled Suspension System: The electronically controlled suspension system absorbs shock from the boom, reducing operator fatigue and material spillage.
  • SmartLoader Logic: SmartLoader Logic optimizes fuel consumption by sensing power requirements and adjusting torque output to the application.
  • Integrated Payload Meter: The payload meter displays various data on the cab’s monitor panel and can be accessed remotely with Komtrax Plus.
  • Two Operating Modes: Dual operating modes allow the operator to choose between Power for enhanced engine performance or Economy for lower fuel consumption.
  • Rearview Monitor: A rearview monitoring system with a dedicated color monitor, always on or activated only in reverse, enhances visibility.
  • Easy Maintenance: Onboard diagnostics alert you when service is needed. The swing-out, reversible hydraulic fan, and modular radiator core make cleaning and maintenance hassle-free.
