1998-2006 KOMATSU W60 WHEEL LOADERS

Technical Description

The Komatsu W60 is a mid-sized wheel loader designed for versatile material handling with an operating weight of approximately 17,218 lbs (7,810 kg). Powered by a Komatsu 6D105 engine delivering 102 hp (76 kW) and a displacement of 396 cu in (6.5 L), it offers reliable performance for medium-duty tasks. The full powershift countershaft transmission includes 3 forward and 3 reverse gears, enabling a max speed of 23.7 mph (38 kph) forward and 23.8 mph (38 kph) reverse, with smooth soft-shift operation. The loader features a 1.9 cu yd (1.4 m³) heaped bucket capacity with a breakout force of 16,560 lbs (7,512 kg), and a bucket width of 7.9 ft (2.4 m), accommodating efficient loading cycles. At maximum lift, the bucket hinge pin reaches 11.4 ft (3.5 m) with a dump clearance of 9 ft (2.7 m) and a reach of 3.3 ft (1 m), suitable for precision dumping. The machine’s dimensions include a length of 18.9 ft (5.75 m) with the bucket on the ground, width over tires of 7.3 ft (2.2 m), height to the top of the cab at 9.6 ft (2.9 m), and a wheelbase of 8.4 ft (2.5 m). Ground clearance stands at 1.5 ft (0.45 m). Fuel capacity is 36.8 gallons (139 L) and cooling system fluid capacity is 8.8 gallons (33 L), supporting extended operation. Tires are sized 14.00-24-12PR (L-2), and the turning radius is 17 ft (5.17 m). The Komatsu W60 combines robust power, compact dimensions, and efficient hydraulics in a wheel loader optimized for construction and industrial applications requiring maneuverability and reliable bucket performance.
