Equipment Overview
The Komatsu WA430 is a wheel loader built for construction and material handling work, part of Komatsu’s WA wheel loader range positioned between the WA380 and WA470, current as the WA430-6. It delivers 173 kW (232 hp) at 2,100 rpm and a 19,100–20,010 kg operating weight, suited to a 3.3–4.2 m³ bucket capacity across civil construction, sales loading, and log handling applications.
Power comes from a Komatsu SAA6D114E-3 common rail direct injection engine delivering 1,040 N·m of torque, meeting EU Stage IIIA/EPA Tier III emission standards and driving an automatic powershift transmission with mode selection and variable shifting points. Closed Centre Load Sensing (CLSS) hydraulics with variable-displacement pumps give precise control, and a two-door SpaceCab with a large frameless windscreen delivers excellent all-round visibility.
