KOMATSU WA200-8 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Komatsu WA200-8 Wheel Loader is a versatile mid-size machine designed for a wide range of construction and material handling tasks. It features a Tier 4 Final compliant SAA4D107E-3 engine delivering 126 hp (94 kW) at 2,000 rpm, balancing power and fuel efficiency. The loader has an operational weight between 25,827 and 26,489 lbs (11,715 to 12,015 kg) and offers a rated bucket capacity ranging from 2.2 to 3.1 cubic yards (2 to 2.4 m³), optimized for effective bulk material handling. The WA200-8 is equipped with a parallel-lift linkage enhancing breakout force comparable to a Z-bar linkage, which increases material retention and stability during loading operations. Bucket dump clearance at maximum raise is 9.8 feet (3 meters), allowing for efficient dumping into trucks or hoppers. The hydrostatic transmission system provides smooth, responsive travel up to speeds of approximately 38 km/h (23.6 mph), with dynamic braking through single-pedal operation that prolongs brake life and reduces operator fatigue. Operator comfort and productivity are enhanced through a pillarless cab design with improved visibility, traction control with multiple settings to reduce wheel slippage, and programmable auto-reversing cooling fan systems for easier maintenance. Additional features include a quick coupler for rapid attachment changes, optional high-lift booms, and third spool hydraulics, increasing application versatility while minimizing fuel consumption through SmartLoader logic. Overall, the Komatsu WA200-8 delivers robust performance, advanced operator-centric features, and efficient fuel management in a durable, cost-effective package suitable for diverse jobsite conditions.
