2015-2018 KOMATSU WA470-7 WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The Komatsu WA470-7 is a robust wheel loader designed for high productivity and efficiency in heavy construction and earthmoving tasks. Powered by a Komatsu SAA6D125E-6 six-cylinder, turbocharged, aftercooled diesel engine, it delivers a net power of 272 hp (203 kW) at 2,000 rpm, complying with EU Stage IIIB and EPA Tier 4 interim emission standards. The loader features a rated bucket capacity between 5.0 to 5.75 cubic yards (3.8 to 4.4 cubic meters), suitable for a variety of materials and applications. It has an operational weight ranging from approximately 52,000 to 52,400 lbs (23,590 to 23,780 kg), balancing stability and maneuverability. The WA470-7’s hydraulic system includes a double-acting boom and bucket cylinders, providing a break-out force near 194 kN and a lifting capability of approximately 232 kN at ground level. The machine offers a maximum dump clearance of 10.4 feet (3 meters) at max lift height, supported by a fast hydraulic cycle with a 6.1-second lift time and 3.1-second empty lowering time. Its full powershift transmission combined with a lock-up torque converter enhances efficiency and smooth operation, enabling travel speeds up to 23.8 mph (38.3 km/h). Dimensionally, the loader measures roughly 9.1 meters in length, 3.17 meters bucket width, and stands about 3.5 meters tall, with a track width of 2.3 meters and ground clearance of approximately 0.5 meters, enabling both robustness and excellent terrain clearance.
