The WA470 and WA500 expands Komatsu’s Dash-7 wheel loader range
2300 Komatsu has unveiled its 23,590kg operating weight WA470-7 wheel loader, which offers improved efficiency, lower fuel consumption, improved operator comfort and enhanced serviceability.

It is powered by a 203kW Stage IIIB/ EPA Tier 4I Komatsu SAA6D125E-6 engine, which is said to lower fuel consumption by 10% to 15% compared with the WA470-6. The engine is fitted with EGR, a hydraulically-actuated variable geometry turbocharger, and an automatically regenerating DPF.

As with all Komatsu Stage IIIB machines, the WA470-7 is supported by Komatsu CARE, which covers the machines for factory-scheduled maintenance for the first three years or 2,000 hours and up to two DPF changes during the first five years or 9,000 hours.

Drive is through a four-speed automatic transmission with torque converter lock-up on the three highest gears to give a maximum travel speed of 38.3km/h.

A redesigned cab has a lower window line and dashboard to improve visibility, while the pilot-control levers and forward-neutral-reverse switch are seat-mounted.

A new high-resolution 7inch LCD monitor features enhanced capabilities and displays information in 25 languages.

Komtrax is standard, as is Komatsu Smart Loader Logic.

    Liebherr used INTERMAT 2012 to show its new 380 EC-B 16 Litronic flat-top crane. The 380tonne unit tops the 15-model range, which starts from 50tonnes. The new “flagship” can lift loads of up to 3,400kg at its 75m maximum radius. With the Litronic system, the 380 EC-B 16 can provide up to 20% more load lift at the push of a button. This is achieved by integrating the load-moment limiting system, the ABB operating-range limiting system and the MDA machine data evaluation program.
