HIGH PRODUCTIVITY & LOW FUEL CONSUMPTION

High Performance Komatsu SAA6D125E-6 Engine
This engine delivers faster acceleration and higher travel speeds with high horsepower per ton in its class. Advanced
technologies, such as Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT), KDPF, and High Pressure Common Rail (HPCR) enable the
engine to meet U.S. EPA Tier 4 Interim and EU Stage 3B emissions certification. High torque at low speed, excellent
acceleration, and low fuel consumption ensure maximum productivity.

HPCR Fuel Injection System

Computer controlled HPCR system delivers pressurized
fuel in precise quantity into the engine combustion
chamber using multiple injections to achieve complete
fuel burn and reduce exhaust emissions. Fuel injector life
has been improved through the use of ultra-hard wear-
resistant material such as diamond-like carbon.

efficiency. Komatsu auto idle shutdown helps reduce idle time and
reduce operating costs.
Enhanced Lock-up
The lock-up is standard on the WA470-7, and the lock-up
function activates in 2nd, 3rd and 4th gears. The large
capacity torque converter with the enhanced lock-up is
effective for both load and carry application, and V-shape
loading which uses lower gears. The enhanced lock-up
reduces the clutch engagement shock by controlling
