2016-2023 KOMATSU WA1200-6 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Komatsu WA1200-6 is a high-capacity wheel loader designed for heavy-duty surface mining and large-scale material handling. Powered by a 1765 hp (1316 kW) SDA16V160E-2 engine, this machine delivers exceptional torque of 8.15 kN·m while meeting EPA Tier 2 emission standards, balancing power with reduced fuel consumption. It features a rated bucket capacity ranging from 23.5 to 45.8 cubic yards (18 to 34 cubic meters), optimized for maximum productivity with the ability to load 140-ton trucks efficiently. The wheel loader’s operational weight spans between 477,100 to 486,250 lbs (216,411 to 220,562 kg), providing exceptional stability enhanced by its long 7.1 m (23.2 ft) dump clearance at maximum raise and a large 7.1 m wheelbase. Key hydraulic components include a high-capacity loader pump delivering 1018 L/min at 1800 rpm, facilitating smooth and precise bucket control. The machine provides a static tipping load of up to 114,535 kg when straight and maintains stability throughout 40° turns. The WA1200-6 combines a spacious, low-vibration operator cab with advanced joystick controls and modulated clutch for ease of operation. Dimensions include a width of approximately 15.05 ft, height near 17.3 ft, and length around 56 ft. The robust planetary gear and full-power shift transmission provide reliable power transfer and maneuverability, complemented by hydraulically actuated wet disc brakes on all wheels for enhanced safety and control. This model is recognized as one of Komatsu's largest and most productive wheel loaders, suitable for extreme mining environments requiring high-load handling capacity and durability.
