2024 Komatsu Wheel Loaders WA500-8 yard loader
Make every pass count
If you’re looking to load, transport or move material, Komatsu yard loaders offer a great combination of productivity, fuel efficiency, operator comfort and ease of maintenance. A newly designed, bigger bucket and auto-digging system helps maximize bucket fill while minimizing operator fatigue.
Tailor-made for loading in quarry environments that require a powerful engine and excellent stability, the WA500-8 yard loader has durable long life frames, axles and driveline components for efficient loading.
Features may include:
High performance powertrain- Designed to help reduce fuel consumption, this loader features a large-capacity torque converter that combines with Komatsu's SmartLoader Logic engine control system to automatically create enough torque for each work phase and bolster productivity.
- Help get efficient performance and added confidence in load-and-carry situations with this vehicle’s front and rear brake cooling system.
- Reduce idle time and save fuel with auto idle shutdown. Komatsu’s SmartLoader Logic acquires data from various sensors in the loader and controls engine torque based on job requirements.
- Get 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.
