Komatsu has introduced the new WA170M-11 wheel loader, expanding its wheel loader series in the 9-10 tonne operating weight range. This new model made its first appearance at Bauma earlier this year.
With an operating weight of around 10 tonnes, the WA170M-11 is seen as a versatile machine capable of handling a wide range of jobs, from demanding tasks as a multi-role loader, to performing typical earthmoving work. According to Komatsu it has been developed in close collaboration withcustomers and distributors based on feedback. It features a powerful 96kW Stage V diesel engine and is designed for comfort, durability, and ease of maintenance. With its compact dimensions it facilitates quick and easy transport.
Furthermore, a wide range of factory-installed options allows for customisation to suit almost any application. The new WA170M- 11 can be ordered with two different loader linkages. In addition to the classic Z-kinematics, Komatsu is now offering its Tool Linkage kinematics, fitted on larger models, for the first time in this class. The Tool Linkage kinematics are suitable for heavy attachments that are changed frequently. This means that the machine can be used flexibly and with existing attachments for a wide variety of tasks. The new loader can be supplemented with high-flow hydraulics, additional control circuits, tool management or a trailer coupling.
The new diesel particulate filter, which only requires replacement at 6000 hours, helps extend service intervals. The exhaust gas treatment is fully automatic, so work cycles are uninterrupted and productive. All maintenance points are centralised and easily accessible from the ground thanks to a hinged engine hood. As with all Komatsu compact wheel loaders, the cabin can also be tilted to quickly access all components. All important functions are displayed on the machine monitor and on the Komtrax fleet management system.
