WA600-8E0 Komatsu WA600-8E0 Specifications & Technical Data (2021—2026)

Easy access to service points

Large double swing doors give a convenient access to all daily service points. With long service intervals and filters collected in a centralised arrangement, machine downtime is reduced to a minimum.

Modular design wide core radiator with reversible fan

The wide core modular radiator prevents clogging even in a dusty work environment. To minimize manual cleaning, a reversible fan blows the dust out. The radiator core can be removed without the entire assembly, keeping repair costs down.

Diesel particulate filter regeneration

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

AdBlue tank

The AdBlue tank is located on the right hand side of the machine behind a ladder for easy access.

Wet multi-disc service brake

The multi-disc service brake is encapsulated and runs in an oil bath. The brake stays clean and operates at low temperature for increased service intervals and a long lifetime. The braking system uses two independent hydraulic circuits, for added reliability.

Komatsu fuel-saving technology

Fuel consumption on the WA600-8 is now up to 13% lower, thanks to the new Komatsu EU Stage V engine with optimised engine power control, a highly efficient power train and a load sensing hydraulic system with variable displacement piston pumps that minimises loss.

Komatsu SmartLoader Logic

The WA600-8 features Komatsu SmartLoader Logic, a fully automatic engine control system. Without interfering with normal operations, this technology acquires data from various sensors in the vehicle and delivers optimal engine torque for each work phase. It limits torque during less demanding operations and reduces fuel usage without decreasing production.

Maximised efficiency

The sequential torque converter lock-up system delivers unbeatable productivity and fuel efficiency in Load & Carry and short distance transport applications. The operator can engage the system from 2nd to 4th gear. It noticeably increases travel speed, particularly when going uphill, thanks to the larger tractive force. It also significantly reduces fuel consumption by eliminating converter losses.

Precision control

Komatsu's CLSS hydraulics enables extremely precise control of the work equipment, and ensures that the bucket, boom and hydraulically driven attachments can all move smoothly at the same time. The WA600-8 also features variable-displacement pumps on both the hydraulic and steering systems. These pumps deliver the exact amount of oil required, dramatically improving fuel efficiency.

Engine RPM set system with auto deceleration

Low idle RPM can be preset easily with a push button. The system provides auto deceleration for reduced fuel consumption.

Eco guidance

The monitor panel displays instant guidance messages to help promote energy saving, and the Eco-gauge indicates the actual fuel consumption: keep the Eco-gauge in the green zone for better fuel efficiency. To further improve savings, logs can be consulted for operations, Eco guidance and fuel consumption.

Designed and built by Komatsu

The engine, hydraulics, power train, front and rear axles are original Komatsu components. All these components are subject to the highest quality standards right down to the smallest screw.

Robust torsion-resistant main frame

The frame design with hinge points far apart guarantees the high stability for the overall construction and reduces bearing stress in the torsional ranges.

First-class comfort

In the wide Komatsu SpaceCab™, a standard air-suspended high-back seat, heated and ventilated for improved comfort and with fully adjustable armrests, is the centre of a comfortable and low-fatigue working environment. High visibility and ergonomic controls further assist to maximise the operator’s productivity.

Perfect operator convenience

In addition to the standard radio, the WA600-8 has an auxiliary input for connecting external devices and play music through the cab speakers. Two 12-volt power ports are also incorporated in the cab. Proportional controls are fitted as standard for safe and precise operation of attachments.

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.

Variable traction control system

In limited traction situations, such as on sandy or muddy grounds, the operator can reduce slippage by activating the variable traction control system. Optimum rim pull is adjusted with a control knob from 100% to 20%.

Rear view camera

A standard fitment camera gives an exceptionally clear view of the rear work zone on the wide-screen colour monitor panel. The low profile camera is adjustable and integrated into the engine hood’s shape.

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.

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.
