Komatsu introduced the new WA475-11 and WA485-11 wheel loader models. These versatile machines are designed to move material efficiently and effectively, increasing productivity while also providing improved operator comfort and maintenance ease. A sharp focus has been put on reducing customers’ total cost of ownership (TCO).
The WA485-11 offers up to 12% lower fuel consumption, 21% more engine power and 13% faster climbing speed compared to its predecessor, the WA480-8.
The WA475-11 provides up to 7% lower fuel consumption, 18% higher engine power, and 40% greater climbing speed compared to the WA475-10.
Both loaders now include Komatsu Hydrostatic-Mechanical Transmission (KHMT), equipped with improved fuel efficiency and productivity. Each has a large comfortable four-pillar cab, angle feedback joystick steering, and independent work control to help reduce fatigue on long operating days. The new wheel loaders also feature standard rear object detection to promote enhanced jobsite safety and a deluxe LED light package.
Both models offer yard loader configurations that include additional stability features such as a larger bucket, wide low-profile tires, and additional counterweight designed to support higher productivity in aggregate applications.
