EQUIPMENTS

HIGHLIGHTS

HIGH PRODUCTIVITY & LOW FUEL CONSUMPTION

High performance SAA4D95LE-5 engine

Electronic heavy duty common rail fuel injection system provides optimum combustion of fuel. This system also provides fast throttle response to match the machine’s powerful tractive effort and fast hydraulic response. Net: 73 kW 98 HP

Low emission engine

This engine is U.S. EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3A emissions certified, without sacrificing power or machine productivity

Low fuel consumption

The high-torque engine and HST with maximum efficiency in the low-speed range provide low fuel consumption.

ECO indicator

The ECO indicator will inform the operator when the machine is maximizing fuel efficiency

Electronically-controlled HST with a variable pump and 2-motor system

Komatsu HST system allow a highly efficient and powerful operation. Increasing pump capacity and variable input torque control of new electronically controlled HST pump enable the engine to run at the best speed range and reduce fuel consumption.

The efficiency of HST motors

HST provides quick travel response and aggressive drive into the pile. The variable displacement system automatically adjusts to the tractive effort demand to provide maximum power and efficiency. When high drive torque is needed, both motors are engaged to provide highest torque. Maximum rim pull can provided from zero travel speed. This combination makes the loader very aggressive and quick at digging, climbing or initiating movement. When high travel speed is needed, clutch cuts off the low speed motor to eliminate drag and achieve excellent fuel efficiency.

Electronically-controlled HST with Variable Shift Control System

Full auto-shifting

Full auto shifting eliminates any gear shifting and kick-down operation to allow the operator to concentrate on digging and loading

Self braking effect of the HST drive lines

The self braking effect of the HST drive line slows down the machine when the accelerator pedal is released. It can hold the loader in position on workable slopes, and it will be an advantage in stockpiling or ramp loading. Also it prevents uncontrolled rolling. Safety is greatly improved especially when working in confined spaces or inside industrial buildings. In addition, brake wear is practically eliminated.

Improved inching performance

Electronically controlled HST brake provides improved inching performance of the machine and demonstrates ideal braking control when the machine is travelling and working.

Accelerator pedal sensitive intelligent HST control

Finely-tuned HST control according to the accelerator pedal angle achieves variable clutch timing by machine speed and motor shift control in quick acceleration. It reduces shocks and allows smoother traveling and better energy-saving operation.

Overrun prevention system

Overrun prevention system will secure safety in downhill and protect the power train and brake components from overload. When the travel speed reaches 40 km/h, the caution lamp informs the operator to reduce the speed. When the machine descends a moderate slope (6 degrees or less), maximum travel speed is automatically limited to 40 km/h. Notes: When the machine descends a steep slope, it is necessary to use the service brake to reduce the speed for safety.

Variable shift control system

The variable shift control system allows setting the top speed for increased safety and precision. The operator can choose between first, second, third or fourth maximum speeds by dialing the speed range selector switch. For v-cycles, the operator can set the speed control switch to 1 or 2, which provides aggressive digging, quick response and fast hydraulics. For load and carry, select 3 or 4 which still provides aggressive digging but with much faster travel speed.

The variable traction control system optimizes the digging traction automatically depending on working condition by controlling HST pump, motor and engine. Combined with the function of torque proportioning differentials, or optional limited slip differential this system exerts the following effects.

- Facilitates operation on soft ground where the tires of the machine are apt to slip.

- Eliminates excessive bucket penetration and reduces tire slippage during stockpile loading to improve the work efficiency.

- Reduces tire slippage to extend the life of tires. Furthermore, the maximum tractive effort can be adjusted in five stages while the traction control switch is ON. This allows the operator to select the optimum tractive effort for diversified road conditions.

S-mode

Setting the switch to S-mode allows the machine to get the optimum driving force for operations on slippery road surfaces, like snow-removal on snow surface, resulting in reduced tire slippage and facilitation of the operation. Unexpected tire slippage on slippery road surface is suppressed by controlling the engine speed and HST motor when traveling at a low speed. (S-mode is effective only in forward traveling.)

Max. traction switch

Max. traction switch is located on the work equipment control lever. When traction control switch is at ON position or S-mode is selected, pushing this switch cancels the setting of the traction control temporarily and increases the tractive effort to its 100% value. Then pushing the max. traction switch again or operating the F/R lever returns the tractive effort to the set value automatically. This switch is useful for operations such as piling up work where large tractive effort is required temporarily

Maximum Dumping Clearance and Reach

The long lift arms provide high dumping clearances and maximum dumping reach. The operator can even level loads on the body of a dump truck easily and efficiently

INCREASED RELIABILITY
