Komatsu wheel loaders are comfortable, efficient and productive, making them operator favorites and making production managers heroes. Using innovative hydraulic and drive train technology and rock solid quality, Komatsu loaders are satisfying the toughest quarry and mining production demands around North America. Take a closer look and you’ll see products that quarry, construction and mining managers have discovered will positively impact their bottom lines.

The WA200-8’s parallel-lift linkage and impressive breakout force make it a versatile jobsite tool. Useful in virtually any application from pallet handling to hard digging, fuel consumption drops by up to four percent in V-cycle as well as load-and-carry applications. The WA200-8 is a massive upgrade in operator comfort and the quick, change-on-the-fly coupler lets you move from moving bales to loading pallets to cleaning out feedlots or pushing into a pile with ease.

Features

• Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) System-The VGT provides optimal air flow under all engine speed and load conditions. The upgraded version provides better exhaust temperature management.
• Hydrostatic Transmission (HST)-The HST provides quick travel response and aggressive drive into the pile. Full auto-shifting eliminates any gear shifting and kick-down operation to allow the operator to concentrate on digging and loading. The HST also acts as a dynamic brake to slow the loader. This dramatically extends the life of the wet disc brakes.
• Creep Mode-Creep mode limits the travel speed in 1st speed range, while still allowing for full hydraulic flow.
• New Operator Seat-A new standard, heated, air-suspension seat provides enhanced support on rough roads and dampens machine vibrations, providing a more comfortable ride for the operator. The angle of the armrest is fully adjustable for optimum operator comfort. A secondary F-N-R switch is incorporated into the standard multi-function mono lever.
• Standard Rearview Monitoring System-The dedicated, full-color monitor on the right side of the cab provides the operator with a rearview from the machine. This monitor can be always on or only on when the loader shifts into reverse. Guidelines provide the operator with visual cues for the width of the loader.
• Multi-Function Mono Lever-The Electronically Controlled Suspension System (ECSS) or ride control system uses an accumulator which absorbs some of the shock in the boom arm, giving the operator a much smoother ride. This reduces operator fatigue and reduces material spillage during load and carry operations. ECSS is speed sensitive, meaning that the boom won’t move during stationary digging. ECSS is standard on the WA200-7.
• Electronically Controlled Suspension System-The standard Electronically Controlled Suspension System or ride control system uses an accumulator, which absorbs some of the shock in the boom arm, giving the operator a much smoother ride. This reduces operator fatigue and reduces material spillage during load and carry operations. Ride control is speed sensitive and the activation speed can be adjusted in the monitor panel.
