Rolling Meadows, Ill., June 23, 2015 - Komatsu America Corp., a leading global heavy equipment manufacturer, today introduced the new WA470-8 Wheel Loader. With a 272 HP Komatsu SAA6D125E-7, variable geometry turbo charged and after cooled Tier 4 Final certified engine, the Wheel Loader uses up to six percent less fuel than its Tier 4 Interim predecessor. The WA470-8 is a utility performer featuring Komatsu’s SmartLoader Logic, combined with a lockup torque converter that activates in second, third and fourth gears. Working together, the system provides optimal engine torque for improved acceleration, hill climbing, a higher top speed and fuel savings.
“The WA470-8 has an outstanding combination of stability, break out power and tractive effort,” said Rob McMahon, Komatsu America product manager. “Whether you’re moving gravel, transporting pipe, charging hoppers or working with landscape materials or aggregates, the WA470-8 is the machine you want on your worksite. Available machine attachments specifically adapted for logging and waste handling applications extend the machine’s versatility,” McMahon added.
Komatsu designed the machine’s Diesel Particulate Filter (KDPF) and other after-treatment components in conjunction with the engine for efficiency and long life. A Selective Catalyst Reduction (SCR) assembly further reduces NOx emissions using diesel exhaust fluid (DEF). The engine uses an advanced electronic control system to manage the air-flow rate, fuel injection, combustion parameters and after-treatment functions to optimize performance, reduce emissions and provide advanced diagnostic capability.
In-cab enhancements and features include:
Additional Features and Benefits
The WA470-8 and every other Komatsu Tier 4 Final construction-sized machine, whether rented, leased or purchased, is covered by the Komatsu CARE® program for the first three years or 2000 hours, whichever comes first.
