Make every pass count
If you are looking for multiple-application versatility, the WA480-8 combines production, fuel efficiency, comfort and serviceability, making it an ideal three-pass loader for on-highway trucks and hoppers.
Features may include:
High performance powertrain- Large-capacity torque converter, combined with Komatsu Smart Loader Logic engine control system, automatically creates enough torque for each work phase, reducing fuel consumption with no decrease in production.
- Efficient performance and added confidence in load and carry situations with front and rear brake cooling system.
- Reduce idle time and save fuel with auto idle shutdown. Smart Loader Logic acquires data from various sensors in the loader and controls engine torque based on job requirements.
- A more comfortable ride with a new standard, heated, air-suspension seat that provides enhanced support on rough roads. A large, quiet, pressurized cab provides excellent visibility.
- Efficient maintenance with ease of access with large, gull-wing-type engine doors and large steps on each side of the frame and front of the cab.
