Equipment Overview
The Komatsu WA470 is a wheel loader built for aggregate, construction, and quarry applications, positioned above the WA430 in Komatsu’s WA wheel loader range, current as the WA470-8. It delivers 203 kW (272 hp) net at 2,000 rpm and a 24,350–25,210 kg operating weight, suited to a 3.8–4.65 m³ bucket capacity.
Power comes from a Komatsu SAA6D125E-7 engine EPA Tier 4 Final certified, delivering an outstanding combination of stability, breakout power, and tractive effort through an automatic full-powershift transmission with lock-up torque converter active in 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gears. Komatsu SmartLoader Logic optimises engine torque for each work phase, and an Electronically Controlled Suspension System reduces boom arm shock and material spillage during load-and-carry work.
