Komatsu Europe has unveiled the new WA700-8 wheel loader, a cutting-edge model that marks a significant advancement in the quarry and mining sector, with improvements in safety, productivity, and efficiency.
Equipped with a 578 kW Komatsu engine, the WA700-8 can handle the most demanding quarry and mining applications with optimal efficiency. The engine delivers increased power and torque, while a more efficient cooling system and reduced hydraulic losses ensure fast work cycles and lower fuel consumption. The throttle lock and speed control features enhance productivity and operator comfort during V-shaped loading operations.
Emission Reduction
WA700-8 a fost proiectat cu un accent puternic pe durabilitatea mediului. Conform cu standardele de emisii EU Stage V, utilajul este potrivit pentru orice licitație publică. În plus, compatibilitatea cu biodieselul B20 și combustibilii parafinici precum uleiul vegetal hidrotratat (HVO) contribuie la reducerea semnificativă a emisiilor de CO2.
Operator Safety and Comfort
Safety is a top priority in the design of the WA700-8. The machine comes standard with a comprehensive safety package, including emergency stop buttons, certified anchorage points, and lockout devices for the battery, starter motor, and hydraulic system. LED lights provide optimal visibility during nighttime operations.
The spacious cabin is ergonomically designed to ensure maximum comfort even during the longest shifts. An advanced steering system with a joystick and electro-proportional control levers guarantees precision and ease of use. Additionally, the Bluetooth radio allows operators to connect their devices to the machine’s stereo system, while a retractable sunshade offers protection from sunlight and heat.
Automation Features
Automation features, such as the auto-digging system, semi-automatic approach system, and semi-automatic dumping system, simplify repetitive tasks and enable operators to optimize loading cycles without excessive fatigue. These features are especially useful for less experienced operators, helping to improve operational efficiency.
Simplified Maintenance
The WA700-8 is designed to simplify maintenance and service tasks. It comes equipped with maintenance-free batteries, reducing downtime. Additionally, centralized check and maintenance points, along with quick-fill and sampling doors, ensure easy and accurate fluid management.
Komatsu also offers a comprehensive support package, including the Komtrax Step 5 and Komtrax Plus systems for optimal resource management, as well as the Komatsu Care program and a free extended warranty.
Data Management and Performance Optimization
Integration with Smart Quarry Site allows site managers to monitor production data, machine movements, and utilization in real time, enhancing operational management and optimizing fleet productivity. The pre-start check feature facilitates the identification of potential issues, while real-time feedback displayed in the cabin further improves efficiency and safety on-site.
