Komatsu Europe introduces WA270-8 Wheel Loader

Komatsu Europe presents the new WA270-8 wheel loader, an all-around utility performer for almost any worksite, with an attachment-friendly quick coupler, an EU Stage IV engine and up to 3 % lower fuel consumption.

Built on the recognized benefits of its predecessor, the Komatsu WA270-8 offers customers an outstanding combination of stability, breakout power and tractive effort. Its parallel-lift linkage, with auto tilt-in to simulate a Z-bar, can be used in virtually any application from pallet handling to hard digging.

A fourth generation Hydrostatic Transmission (HST) helps prolong brake life, thanks to dynamic braking, while S-Mode gives the operator maximum control in slippery conditions. This latest addition to the Komatsu wheel loader family combines high production, improved operator comfort and reduced fuel consumption

“With this new machine, Komatsu fills the customer’s need for easy operations and high versatility,” says Dadgar Shayan, Product Manager for Wheel Loaders. “The combination of an advanced hydrostatic drive line and the Parallel Z-bar kinematics offer large break-out and lift forces that make bucket filling easy and quick, and the WA270-8 ideal for loading material and for earthmoving jobs”
