Komatsu WA470-8

Description

The Komatsu WA470-8 is a wheel loader that combines stability, breakout power and tractive effort, with a focus on fuel efficiency and environmental performance. It suits moving gravel, transporting pipe and working with landscape materials and aggregates. In the model name, 470 refers to the model series and -8 indicates the model generation.

According to the Komatsu WA470-8 product page, the machine has a 204 kW (273 hp) engine, an operating weight of 24.17–25.67 tonnes and a tipping load of 18.9 tonnes. Bucket capacity is 4.1–6 m³. The WA470-8 is part of the range of Komatsu wheel loaders at Hesselberg.

The engine meets EU Stage V. The machine has a large-capacity torque converter with standard lock-up, a wide tread and long wheelbase, and superior dumping height and reach. Komatsu SmartLoader Logic, the E-Light engine mode, high-efficiency buckets and adjustable idle shutdown help reduce fuel consumption.

The machine has Electronic Pilot Control (EPC) as standard, an automatic digging system and an intelligent gas pedal. 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, and the machine has a hydraulic quick coupler. Attachments adapted for logging and waste handling make the machine even more versatile. Tailored solutions are also available for salt and chemical applications, waste and recycling, and tunnel and underground work.

The operator gets a new air-suspended seat, a large multifunctional monitor and a low-noise cab. 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 WA380-8. The WA470-8 has higher engine output (204 kW vs 143 kW), tipping load (18.9 t vs 15.5 t) and operating weight (24.17–25.67 t vs 18.5–20 t). If you need even more capacity, take a look at the WA475-10.
