Komatsu WA480 Loading Shovel For Sale Specifications

The Komatsu WA380-7 loading shovel is a perfect blend of performance, comfort and fuel economy. Komatsu SmartLoader Logic is a new and fully automatic engine control that yields precisely enough torque for each work phase, considerably reducing fuel usage with no loss of productivity. You enjoy impressive travel speeds thanks to the new intelligent power train and the enhanced lock-up function of Komatsu’s large capacity torque converter. The WA380-7 is perfect for a great number of applications and gives extraordinary rimpull and an outstanding performance, even on steep grades or ramps. Whisper quiet, the new SpaceCab™ combines safety and ergonomics with an unprecedented level of Komatsu comfort. Reliability, ease of service, economy and safety – the WA380-7 sets new standards for the industry.

New Komatsu engine technology

The powerful and fuel-efﬁcient Komatsu SAA6D107E-2 engine in the WA480 delivers 143 kW/192 HP and is EU Stage IIIB/EPA Tier 4 interim certiﬁed. Its turbo uses a hydraulic actuator to provide optimum charging pressure at all times and makes the engine very responsive under any load conditions. The engine reaches its max. performance of 152 kW/204 HP at already 1.600 rpm.

Komatsu SmartLoader Logic

The WA480-7 provides Komatsu SmartLoader Logic, a new fully automatic engine control system. Without interfering with normal operations, this technology acquires data from various sensors in the vehicle and delivers optimal engine torque for each work phase. It limits torque during less demanding operations and reduces fuel usage without decreasing production.

Faster Load & Carry

The sequential torque converter lock-up system delivers unbeatable productivity and fuel efﬁciency in Load & Carry and short distance transport applications. The operator can engage the system from 2nd to 4th gear. It noticeably increases travel speed, particularly when going uphill, thanks to the larger tractive force. It also signiﬁcantly reduces fuel consumption by eliminating converter losses.

More fuel-saving technology

The selectable engine mode and adjustable idle shutdown are tools to considerably lower fuel usage. The WA480 Eco-Gauge dis- plays active recommendations on the cab’s monitor to help you maximise those fuel savings. For more fuel economy, the electronically controlled hydraulics pumps for the work and steering system prevent wasted hydraulic ﬂow and deliver the exact amount of oil required for all movements of the machine.

Large-capacity torque converter with standard lock-up

With its large-capacity torque converter, the completely redesigned Komatsu drive train offers optimum efﬁciency and an unparalleled rimpull-to-weight ratio. By deliver- ing high rimpull at low speeds, it makes child’s play of heavy jobs like penetration of dense material such as aggregate. This means higher productivity in V-Shape loading, even in conﬁned spaces.

Wide tread and long-wheelbase

A 2.160 mm wide tread and a long wheelbase of 3.300 mm give the WA380-7 outstanding stability – enough to handle rough terrain and fast load & carry cycles with minimum spillage and maximum comfort. With 40° steering articulation to both sides, the WA380-7 is extremely manoeuvrable in tight spaces for faster loading cycles.

Superior dumping height and reach The long lifting frame allows an enormous dumping height of 2.905 mm and a reach of 1.100 mm that is just as impressive (with a 3,1 m³ bucket, measured to the cutting edge). With this working range, loading high feeders or trucks becomes easy and fast.

Precision control Komatsu’s CLSS hydraulics enables extremely precise control of the work equipment and ensures that the bucket, boom and hydraulically driven attachments can all move smoothly at the same time. The WA480-8 also features variable-displacement pumps on both the hydraulic and steering systems. These pumps deliver the exact amount of oil required, dramatically improving fuel efﬁciency.

Boom suspension system The boom suspension system reduces the shocks in the boom when driving with loads. The material can be transported at higher speeds with minimum spillage. When travelling below 7 km/h, the boom suspension is automatically deactivated for precise pallet loading into trucks.
