Both the WA90-6 and the WA100M-6 now have a new Komatsu common-rail engine with more power. The WA80-6 is equipped with a turbo engine that also gives extra power and 23% more lifting and breakout force.
On Komatsu machines, special attention is always given to safety: a back-up alarm, a reversing light and the electrical actuation of the 3rd hydraulic circuit are all standard, and new features include Xenon lights, auto-inching, and bigger buckets.
All Komatsu compact wheel loaders are designed for maximum comfort and easy usage to increase productivity. The roomy cabin sets benchmarks for their class.
