WA475-10E0 Komatsu WA475-10E0 Specifications & Technical Data (2020—2026)

Komatsu traction control system (K-TCS)

K-TCS controls the K-HMT and the engine to optimise traction automatically depending on work conditions. The provided rim pull can be set to 4 different levels to prevent wheels from spinning, regardless of ground conditions. Constant traction increases productivity and reduces tire wear and costs.

Drive line with automatic braking function

The WA475-10 has an automatic engine brake that helps to slow down the machine smoothly when the operator takes a foot off the accelerator. It also reduces brake wear. In addition, the new auto hill-holding function makes it very easy to operate on a slope.

Excellent serviceability

A powered tilting hood provides full access to the engine compartment. Side doors give quick and convenient access for daily checks and service. Full rear fenders are standard, a gauge on the AdBlue fill cap minimises overfilling. Servicing costs are remarkably reduced, which provides a lower lifecycle cost.

Wide core radiator with auto reverse fan

A wide core radiator prevents clogging even when working in a dusty environment. To minimise manual cleaning, a reversible fan blows dust out, automatically or on demand. The automatic reverse function allows to set the cleaning length and the time between cleaning to adjust perfectly to the working conditions.

Factory fitted automatic lubrication system

The automatic lubrication system reduces the daily service work to the absolute minimum. Robust piping ensures consistent lubrication and operating reliability, and significantly increases the machine’s service life. The system is electronically monitored and features a signal light in the cabin.

Diesel particulate filter regeneration

No interruption or extension of daily work is required to regenerate the diesel particulate filter system. Due to its superior Komatsu technology, KDPF regeneration takes place automatically, at any time.

Salt & Chemical

A corrosive environment is one of the toughest challenges for any machine. Upgraded with a special coating on the metal parts and with various optional modifications to fit the application at hand, Komatsu “Salt & Chemical” configured wheel loaders hold up even under the most aggressive conditions. Reduced downtime, less maintenance and repair costs and a long lifetime: Komatsu machines perform as well and last as long as in a non-corrosive environment.

Komatsu Hydraulic Mechanical Transmission (K-HMT)

K-HMT combines the benefits of hydrostatic and mechanical powertrains. This innovative technology, developed by Komatsu, provides extra power to the WA475-10, along with ultra-low fuel consumption and industry-leading productivity. An electronic controller works to maintain the engine speed low and constant. Minimum interaction is required, and operations are easier.

Increased engine power

The engine is specifically designed to work together with K-HMT technology. It develops a higher performance and provides up to 15% more engine torque at lower engine speeds, compared to the previous model.

Travel speed control dial

Machine speed can be kept constant thanks to the integrated travel speed control dial, with no need to apply the brake even when travelling downhill.

High precision steering

The re-designed steering system is more powerful and accurate. This eases Load & Carry operations on rough terrain and enhances the smooth controllability of the machine.

EPC multifunction lever (option)

The EPC multifunction lever with an integrated forward/reverse switch allows the simplest and most comfortable operation of the equipment. With one hand, the driver can simultaneously control the attachment and switch between forward and reverse. The multifunction lever is the perfect choice for earthmoving jobs.

Lower operating costs

Komatsu ICT contributes to the reduction of operating costs by assisting to comfortably and efficiently manage operations. It raises the level of customer satisfaction and the competitive edge of our products.

Large TFT colour monitor

Info displayed “at a glance” on the central dashboard. A 7-inch, full color, high-resolution monitor provides key machine metrics including KDPF status and data for AdBlue level and fuel consumption, and the setting of the machine’s travel speed.

Eco guidance

Messages from the Eco guidance system are displayed in real-time during operations and on the exit screen when the ignition is turned off. The Eco guidance menu enables the operator to check operation logs and fuel consumption. These records are useful to reduce overall fuel usage and can be saved and sorted by the operator.

Equipment Management and Monitoring System (EMMS)

The large high resolution monitor panel displays various machine information and allows for multiple settings. The Operation Records menu shows records of the average fuel consumption, idling hours, and other features. Abnormality codes are clearly displayed and stored to alert you and simplify troubleshooting. The monitor also provides for advanced monitoring of the system parameters through the service mode to aid in troubleshooting and reduce downtime.

Independent control of driveline and work equipment

This revolutionary system eases operations and enables shorter V-shape cycles. Boom speed is now controlled with the hydraulic lever and not by the accelerator pedal. The right balance between traction and boom lifting speed can easily be found and the WA475-10 can smoothly approach the loading area.

Automatic digging system

The automatic digging system actuates the bucket tilt and lifting operations by detecting the sensing pressure applied to the work equipment. The system adapts to different types of material with no human intervention required. Operator fatigue is greatly reduced and ideal load capacity ensured.

Perfect all-round visibility

A bay style window, a large curved front screen and floor-to-ceiling glass surfaces contribute to all-round visibility. All glass surfaces are tinted and feature a UV radiation filter to minimise the heat caused by the sun.

New, fully air-suspended operator station

The wide spacious cab features a new, fully air-suspended operator seat that includes the side consoles mounted together with a high back, fully adjustable, standard heated seat for improved comfort. A seat ventilation is optionally available to maximise comfort.

By Wire operating

The Electronic Pilot Control (EPC) lever console is integrated with the seat and can be easily adjusted to suit any operator. The short levers are fingertip controlled for precise and fatigue-free operating, with a no-vibration modulating function for slowing and stopping a lowering bucket. The upper and lower boom cut-out position can be pre-set with a switch.

New monitoring system and controls

All operational switches are illuminated and centralised on the front pillar and in optimum reach of the operator. The rear-view monitor is height adjustable to match the operator’s requirements.

Komatsu Short Lever Steering (K-SLS) (option)

The new finger-type joystick steering allows more accurate steering by the operator who can now sit relaxed in the new air-suspended and fully adjustable seat to control the machine with no big effort needed for frequent steering. Less fatigue and work in a perfectly adapted operating position will improve concentration and the quality and efficiency of the work.

Optimal jobsite safety

Safety features on the Komatsu WA475-10 comply with the latest industry standards and work in synergy to minimise risks to people in and around the machine. The greatly improved visibility, along with a seat belt caution indicator and back-up alarm increase jobsite safety. Serrated steps, wide catwalks and large handrails allow safe and easy access to the cab and to maintenance check points.

Massive lifting force

The Z-bar linkage is optimised for significantly quicker loading cycles. More lifting power and higher break-out forces make bucket filling easier. In combination with the new Komatsu high-efficiency buckets, this provides significantly increased production rates, with more tonnes-per-hour.

Heavy-duty axles

The heavy-duty axles allow exceptional service life even under the toughest working conditions. The optional limited slip differentials are most suitable for soft and slippery ground like sand or wet soil.

New high efficiency bucket range

The new Komatsu buckets enable easier bucket fill and significantly higher fill factors, contributing to more efficiency and less fuel consumption. They feature a longer bottom allowing for more content, a wider opening for an easier fill and a new rear shape that enables material to flow easily into the bucket. Their rounded sides give them a higher fill factor, and an integrated spill guard protects the bucket linkage. Flush screws (with BOC) reduce resistance when filling and keep material from clogging when dumping.

High dump buckets

For maximum dumping heights with light materials like coal or woodchips. The dump cylinders are located either inside or outside the bucket.
