Wheel loader
Komatsu
The WA250-6 has a 25,441-lb. to 25,761-lb. operating weight and a bucket capacity up to 3.5 cu. yds. Powered by a 138-hp Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 engine, the unit has a hydrostatic transmission system that provides only the power needed for a particular application. A traction control feature prevents tire slippage on wet surfaces and soft ground, and eliminates bucket penetration while stockpile loading. An S-mode control increases handling on slippery surfaces by controlling engine speed and the hydrostatic transmission motor while the unit is operating at a low speed. The pressurized cab is designed to reduce noise levels, and a damping mount system helps reduce noise, shock and vibration in rough conditions. The loader also is available with an equipment monitoring system that alerts operators of problems with items such as oil pressure and coolant temperature.
