Komatsu's 55-hp WA65-5 (pictured) and the 61-hp WA70-5 are designed to respond to varying conditions. They feature a hydrostatic transmission that allocates only as much power as is needed for a given application, ensuring accurate and optimum loader operations. Front and rear limited slip differentials provide added productivity and force.
The compact wheel loaders serve as loading and support tools for supply yards, confined jobsites, landscaping, utility and light construction markets. “These machines are more comfortable, easier to maintain and more efficient in daily operation,” says Bob Lessner, product manager for Komatsu America. “They're a versatile alternative to skid steers because they can be used in either forklift or bucket operations.”
The WA65-5 has an operating weight of 10,208 pounds, and the WA70-5 has an operating weight of 11,077 pounds. The loaders are equipped with a delta boom, providing operators with an unobstructed view of the loader bucket, improving performance in both forward and reverse applications. The machines also feature an ergonomically designed cab to provide more legroom. An increased window area, sloped engine hood and narrow tail offer increased visibility.
