Komatsu WA480 loading shovel hire specifications

With its large-capacity torque converter, the completely redesigned Komatsu drive train offers optimum efficiency and an unparalleled rimpull-to-weight ratio to the new WA480-8. By delivering high rimpull at low speeds, it makes child’s play of heavy jobs like penetration of dense material such as aggregate. This means higher productivity in V-Shape loading, even in confined spaces.

Komatsu SmartLoader Logic

The WA480-8 provides Komatsu SmartLoader Logic, a fully automatic engine control system. Without interfering with normal operations, this technology acquires data from various sensors in the vehicle and delivers optimal engine torque for each work phase. It limits torque during less demanding operations and reduces fuel usage without decreasing production.

New, fully air suspended operator station

The wide spacious cab features a new, fully air-suspended operator seat that includes the side consoles mounted together with a high back, fully adjustable, standard heated seat for improved comfort. A seat ventilation is optionally available to maximise comfort.

Rear view camera

A standard fitment camera gives an exceptionally clear view of the rear work zone on the wide-screen colour monitor panel. The low profile camera is adjustable and integrated into the engine hood’s shape.

We have several different loading shovels available to hire
