The Komatsu WA500-8 wheel loader is designed for industries that need a loading tool that delivers power and performance.

Key components are designed and manufactured by Komatsu to work together in an integrated package.

The large-capacity torque converter, combined with Komatsu’s Smart Loader Logic engine control system, automatically creates enough torque for each work phase, allowing the loader to up-shift gears faster for improved acceleration and hill climbing ability, reducing fuel consumption with no decrease in production.

Fuel consumption savings are enhanced further with reduced idle time and auto idle shutdown. The Smart Loader Logic incorporates data from various sensors in the loader and controls engine torque based on job requirements.

The front and rear brake cooling systems assure efficient performance and added confidence in load and carry situations, while operators enjoy a more comfortable ride with a new standard, heated, air-suspension seat that provides enhanced support on rough roads. A large, quiet, pressurised cab provides excellent visibility.

Maintenance is easy and efficient with large, gull-wing-type engine doors and large steps on each side of the frame and front of the cab.

Komatsu’s Komtrax remote monitoring and location system is standard, backed by an Australia-wide service and support network.
