Description
The Komatsu WA270-8 is a wheel loader that combines stability, breakout power and tractive effort, and can be used for most tasks. In the model name, 270 refers to the model series and -8 indicates the model generation.
According to the Komatsu WA270-8 product page, the machine has a 115 kW (153 hp) engine, an operating weight of 12.975–13.525 tonnes and a tipping load of 10.18 tonnes. Bucket capacity is 2.2–2.3 m³. The WA270-8 is part of the range of Komatsu wheel loaders at Hesselberg.
The machine has a powerful six-cylinder engine that meets EU Stage V, with K-DPF and SCR. The hydrostatic drive line gives instant response, fast loading cycles and easy control in confined areas. Torque-Proportional-Differential and automatic traction control give strong traction and minimised tyre wear. Speed is controlled steplessly with a creeping function, and you can select the top speed for increased safety. Komatsu SmartLoader Logic, high-efficiency buckets and adjustable idle shutdown help reduce fuel consumption.
The PZ-linkage combines the advantages of a Z-bar linkage with parallel lift. This gives fast pallet handling, excellent breakout force, easy bucket fill and good control of heavy attachments. The machine has a hydraulic quick coupler, and Komatsu offers a wide range of buckets and attachments, including a universal bucket, an earthmoving bucket, a stockpile bucket with raised bottom, a mulch grab bucket and a high-dump bucket. Tailored solutions are also available for salt and chemical applications, waste and recycling, and silage and agriculture.
The operator gets a new air-suspended seat, a large multifunctional monitor, a low-noise cab and Komatsu short lever steering (K-SLS). The machine has a rear-view camera and steps for cleaning the front window, and a 4-point seat belt is available as an option. The radiator is wide-core with an auto-reverse fan, the engine doors open gull-wing style, and the machine has a factory-fitted automatic lubrication system. Komtrax is Komatsu’s wireless monitoring system, which makes it easy to track your machine’s location, performance and status.
If you need a slightly smaller machine, take a look at the WA200-8. The WA270-8 has higher engine output (115 kW vs 95.2 kW) and tipping load (10.18 t vs 8.5 t).
