Komatsu adds WA470 to its Dash-7 wheel loader range

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 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.

    Sandvik Mining is now using Volvo Penta engines in its underground trucks and loaders. The advanced engines meet Tier 4 Interim/Stage IIIB emission standards and are claimed to reduce fuel and ventilation costs in comparison with other units. The Volvo Penta engineers designed a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) unit in the exhaust system that converts NOx gas into nitrogen and water. The Volvo Penta exhaust-treatment solution also reduces DPM levels without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF).
