Equipment Overview
The Komatsu WA380 is a wheel loader built as an all-around machine for waste, recycling, snow removal, road work, and paving, positioned above the WA320 in Komatsu’s WA wheel loader range, current as the WA380-8. It delivers 143 kW (191 hp) net at 2,100 rpm and an 18,385–19,020 kg operating weight, suited to tough digging tasks with a 2.7–3.6 m³ bucket capacity.
Power comes from a Komatsu SAA6D107E-3 engine EPA Tier 4 Final certified, driving a large-capacity torque converter with standard lock-up in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears for quick acceleration and high travel speeds in load-and-carry work. Komatsu SmartLoader Logic reduces clutch engagement shock and optimises engine torque, and a Dual-mode Engine Power Select System offers Economy and Power modes for general loading or hard-digging operation.
