WA700-3 Komatsu WA700-3 Specifications & Technical Data (2000—2005)

Komatsu-integrated design

For the best value, reliability, and versatility. Hydraulics, power train, frame, and all other major components are engineered by Komatsu. You get a machine with components that are designed to work together to deliver higher production levels, greater reliability, and more versatility.

The maintenance monitor panel shows all machine functions and systems, which are only a glance away on the side panel.

New emissionised Stage II engine

Komatsu SAA6D170E-3 diesel engine provides better productivity, serviceability and reliability. Engine oil and filter change intervals have been extended from 250 hours to 500 hours.

Komatsu designed Power Train

Komatsu’s integrated design results in components that are matched to provide the most efficient use of power, whether you’re excavating or stock handling. The Komatsu SAA6D170E-3 delivers the power and efficiency to get the job done quickly and cost-effectively while meeting the European Stage II emission regulations. It’s a water-cooled, four-stroke cycle, six-cylinder inline, turbocharged, air-to-air after cooled, direct injection engine that produces high performance and excellent fuel economy. With a piston displacement of 23,15 litres, the Komatsu SAA6D170E-3 has a net flywheel horsepower of 502 kW (672 HP) at 2.000 rpm (SAE J1349).

Komatsu designed axles and final drives

Provide rugged reliability with low maintenance. Axle shafts are full-floating. The front axle is fixed, whilst the rear axle is a centre pin support design that provides a total oscillation of up to 22 degrees. The differential reduction gear is a heavy-duty spiral bevel gear, for strength and reliable performance. The rugged, outboard planetary final drives carry the total gear reduction of the drive train to the wheel, which is mounted to the axle hub.

Wet multi-disc service brakes (front and rear)

Fully sealed. Contaminants are kept out, reducing wear and maintenance. Brakes require no adjustments for wear, further reducing maintenance costs. There is no air system to bleed, which eliminates the condensation of water in the system that can lead to contamination and corrosion. The braking system’s reliability has been increased with the use of two independent hydraulic circuits, providing hydraulic backup in the event that one circuit fails.

Realize high efficient operation by selecting the best mode

The machine can be equipped with an optional two mode active working system, a great improvement on the already well received two stage hydraulic system. This system provides the most efficient hydraulic flow for your operation. The active working switch has two modes: powerful loading or normal loading. In powerful loading mode hydraulic flow towards the work equipment can be increased and reduced as and when required. In normal loading mode all hydraulic flow is transferred directly to the work equipment.

Cab damper mounting for low vibration levels

The WA700-3 uses a viscous damping mount system. The new cabin damper mounting aids the reduction of vibrations to the operator's seat, resulting in less fatigue. The silicone oil filled rubber mounts result in reducing the fatigue caused by mechanical vibrations and noise. This helps the operator to remain productive the whole day. It also increases the lifetime of all operator compartment components.

Two-door, walk-through cab

Komatsu is offering the safest cabin on the market, with an easy entry and exit from both sides of the cab.

Low noise design

The noise levels are substantially reduced. Engine compartment noise isolation plus the specially designed low speed radiator cooling fan give class leading noise levels: guaranteed sound level at the operators ear; LpA, below 79 dB(A) (ISO 6369).

Universal buckets

This type of bucket with a long, flat bucket floor features an outstanding material retaining capacity. The universal bucket can be equipped with a V-shaped edge, bolt on edge or flush mount adapters and interchangeable Kmax™ teeth.

Extra heavy-duty rock buckets with KVX™ teeth

XHD rock buckets with KVX™ teeth as well as bolt on segments are available for highly abrasive materials. This extremely durable system as well as the standard stone deflectors guarantee maximum service life even under the most severe operating conditions. A bolt on teeth system reduces welding on the bucket.

Ultra-wear resistant ground engaging equipment – Lower costs per tonne

With the brands Komatsu KVX™, Kmax™ and Hensley™-Parts, Komatsu has extensive know-how, making it a leading supplier of GET in the global market. The comprehensive range of ultra-wear resistant teeth, segments and wear plates covers all applications even under the toughest working conditions.
