Product Features and benefits:
- Designed for Harsh Digging Environments: Enhance your digging performance with this wheel loader, providing robust breakout force for challenging digging applications. Equipped with a reinforced z-bar loader linkage, it ensures optimal performance in harsh conditions.
- Maneuver Around the Mine: Prioritize safety for your operators with audible or visual alerts for detected obstacles. The KomVision, featuring six cameras and four radar panels, establishes an all-around monitoring system, facilitating safe maneuverability.
- Operate with Precision: Ensure comfort and simplicity during extended shifts with the Advanced Joystick Steering System (AJSS), Electronic Pilot Controls (EPC) levers, trainer seat, and heated/ventilated operator seats. This wheel loader guarantees agility and precision.
- Helps Operators Perform Efficiently: Enhance productivity during V-cycle loading of haul trucks with automated features like automatic dig, semi-auto approach, and semi-auto dump systems. These features alleviate operator fatigue, improving overall efficiency.
- Maintain Control in Slippery Conditions: Prevent tire slippage for extended tire life with the variable traction control system. Designed for slippery or wet conditions, the machine’s rim pull can be adjusted between 100% and 20% tractive effort.
- Throttle Lock with Auto-Deceleration: Optimize engine RPM for fast work equipment speeds and quick cycle times with the cab’s throttle lock. Auto-deceleration reduces engine RPM to 680 in the absence of operator commands after 10 seconds, contributing to additional fuel savings.
- Fast Work Speeds with a Smooth Approach: Ensure a smooth approach when loading haul trucks and control tire slippage and shock reduction during forward-to-reverse shifts. The modulation clutch adjusts tractive effort using the left brake pedal.
- Travel Performance You Can Trust: Manage operator fatigue and material spillage with the electronically controlled suspension system (ECSS) accumulators. This feature absorbs shock from the boom during load-and-carry applications or tramming around the site.
- Boost Awareness with Improved Visibility: Enhance operator awareness with 22 LED lamps, providing bright lighting for optimal performance, even in challenging and dark working conditions.
- Maintenance Made Easy: Save time with easily accessible maintenance at the ground-level service center. Perform on-the-spot draining and filling of transmission oil, hydraulic oil, engine oil, and coolant, avoiding lengthy preventative maintenance services.
- Work Smarter, Not Harder: Reduce fuel consumption while maintaining machine performance with Komatsu’s SmartLoader Logic. This engine control system adapts to the power requirements of each work phase, automatically switching between ‘Economy’ and ‘Power’ modes based on application demand.
- Help Improve Decision-Making: Make informed fleet management decisions with Komtrax, Komatsu’s remote equipment monitoring and management system. Access additional vital information through Komtrax Plus, further aiding in the reduction of operational costs.
