Komatsu’s newest wheel loader, the WA250-6, has increased loading power and performance for the construction, utility, government, sewer and waste markets. With an operating weight of 25,441 to 25,761 pounds and a heaped bucket capacity of 2.5 to 3.5 cubic yards, the WA250-6 gets its power and productivity from a Komatsu Tier 3, SAA6D107E-1 engine with 138 net horsepower.
The latest Komtrax technology sends machine operating information to a secure website using wireless technology. It reduces the risk of machine theft, allows for remote diagnosis by the distributor and provides a wealth of other information to drive business efficiency and productivity.
The WA250-6 incorporates Komatsu’s Hydrostatic Transmission System (HST) that allocates only as much power as is needed for a given application. By adjusting automatically to the tractive effort demands of the work at hand, Komatsu’s HST provides for quick travel response and aggressive drive into the pile. The full auto-shifting feature eliminates gear shifting and the kick-down switch gives the operator the ability to concentrate on digging and loading operations.
The tractive effort of the machine, when traveling at low speeds, can be reduced by using the traction control switch to control tire slippage. This is especially beneficial for surfaces such as wet concrete or soft ground where tires are more likely to slip. The traction control system eliminates excessive bucket penetration and tire slippage during operations such as stockpile loading, extending the life of the tires and improving work efficiency. A new “S-mode” control provides optimum driving force for operations on slippery road surfaces, including snow removal or working on snow-covered surfaces, by controlling the engine speed and HST motor when traveling at a low speed.
The WA250-6 also has an excellent breakout force of 27,210 pounds and high static tipping loads (26,367 pounds straight and 23,204 pounds at a 40-degree full turn) to provide superior power and stability during the toughest operations. The long lift arms provide high dumping clearances and maximum dumping reach so the operator can easily “level” or “even” loads on the body of a dump truck.
Komatsu’s EMMS Equipment Management Monitoring System (EMMS) monitors all critical systems and alerts and guides the operator should an abnormality occur. It often prevents a small problem from becoming a major service issue contributing to a reduced cost of operation.
