Komatsu WA85-3 overview

Komatsu WA85-3 features overview

The delta boom – everything is within eyeshot

The shape of the boom gives excellent vision of work attachments and tyres. Optimum working conditions, even on complicated jobs, and attachment changes which only take seconds are guaranteed.

Service & maintenance – child’s play

Optimum engine accessibility from three sides thanks to the wide opening of the engine-cover. The completely-sealed multiple wet disc brakes operate in an oil-bath and are maintenance free. Automatic central lubrication, available as a special option, reduces daily maintenance to an absolute minimum.

Hydraulic system

Environmentally friendly – inside and out

Both internal and external noise levels of the engine are among the lowest in this class, and it has been awarded the Blue Angel Award due to its very quiet operation. It goes almost without saying that the 4-cylinder Komatsu emissionized engine is outstanding in fuel economy and smoothness of running, and meets the EC Stage II limit values with plenty to spare.

Operator's cab

The driver’s cab – driver comfort is comparable with a car

Working conditions which are as pleasant as possible for the driver: easily-read, logically arranged gauges and switches, PPC hydraulic system and a multi-function lever all contribute, as do the ergonomically-designed driver’s seat and the perfectly-designed fresh air intakes, to maximum driver comfort. Attention to detail, such as the sliding window fitted as standard on the right, completes the driver-friendly picture.
