Komatsu America Corp. introduces the WA200-8 wheel loader that is e quipped with an EPA Tier 4 Final-certified engine. This addition to the Komatsu wheel loader family combines high production with low fuel consumption and improved operator comfort.
The WA200-8’s parallel-lift linkage and impressive breakout force make it a versatile job site tool, Komatsu sources report. It is useful in virtually any application. From pallet handling to hard digging, fuel consumption drops by up to four percent in V-cycle as well as load-and-carry applications.
“The WA200-8 is a massive upgrade in operator comfort,” says Frank Nyquist, product manager, Komatsu America. “Its quick, change-on-the-fly coupler lets you move from moving bales to loading pallets to cleaning out feedlots or pushing into a pile with ease.”
Standard features of the new WA200-8 include:
