WA50-6 compact wheel loader

Komatsu America Corp. announced the introduction of the WA50-6 compact wheel loader designed to bring increased production and added operator comfort to contractors in a variety of construction, landscaping, nursery and other applications. The WA50-6 has an operating weight of 8100 lbs., and features a maximum dump height of 8' 1". The standard auxiliary hydraulics simplify hydraulic attachment installation enhancing the capability and versatility of the machine. The automatic electronic bucket leveling is controlled by the bucket control lever and increases the productivity of the compact wheel loader.

The WA50-6 is equipped with the latest KOMTRAX technology which sends machine operating information to a secure website utilizing wireless technology. Data such as operating hours, machine location and machine utilization are relayed to the web application for analysis. The KOMTRAX fleet monitoring system increases machine availability, reduces the risk of machine theft and provides a wealth of other information to drive business efficiency.

The WA50-6 gets its power from a Komatsu engine with a net horsepower of 38.6 HP. The direct injection engine meets EPA emissions requirements and is fuel efficient without sacrificing power or efficiency. The “Delta Boom” loader design improves visibility to the work equipment, and the long wheelbase of 6’ 3” improves ride quality and stability. Center hinge tapered roller bearings are highly reliable and feature 1000 hour lubrication intervals. The wrap around counterweight protects the main body of the WA50-6 and the rear combination lamps and exhaust pipe are built into the counterweight for added protection.
