Operators can load more trucks per shift, in a more comfortable work environment

Rolling Meadows, Ill., August 8, 2019 - Komatsu America Corp., a leading global heavy equipment manufacturer, today announced the introduction of the WA900-8. The 256,618 lb. (116,400 kg) wheel loader is equipped with an EPA Tier 4 Final certified emission regulations-compliant engine, and is purpose-built to load 70 - 150 ton haul trucks.

“The WA900-8 is the perfect machine for loading haul trucks in limestone pits because the all new Komatsu bucket design, with modified profile, maximizes bucket fill to increase productivity,” said Robert Hussey, Product Marketing Manager, Komatsu America Corp.

“The large pillarless cab offers great visibility, and the higher capacity air suspension seat along with the Electronically Controlled Suspension System (ECSS), provides a smooth ride for better travel performance to keep operators comfortable throughout long shifts.”
