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.
Trusted brake cooling system
  • Help get efficient performance and added confidence in load-and-carry situations with this vehicle’s front and rear brake cooling system.
Lower fuel consumption
  • 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.
Increased operator comfort
  • 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.
Ease of access
  • 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.
