FEATURES AND BENEFITSWA65-5 C O M P A C T W H E E L L O A D E R

Productivity

One of the key factors that influences a wheel loader’sperformance is its bucket. Best penetration performance andoptimum filling capacity characterize the design of Komatsubuckets. Better filling capacity also demands greater machinestability. Accordingly, the payload of the WA65-5 wheel loader,with its standard bucket, is class-leading at 1566 kg 3445 lb.In addition, the longitudinally installed engine helps to providea well balanced weight distribution.

Comfort

Safe and convenient daily travel is essential for a compactwheel loader while changing applications and job sites.Komatsu wheel loaders offer first-class riding comfort, thanks toits very long wheelbase. This makes small obstacles barelynoticeable when travelling over them. And the rear axleoscillation provides suspension-like operator comfort. Operatorswill also appreciate the large operator’s cabin. A large closedstorage compartment with enough room for a pair of boots,raincoat, hard hat and tools, plus a smaller closed storage boxfor smaller items such as mobile phones and enough openspace to store documents and other small belongings. Asuspension seat and loader control wrist/forearm rest areprovided as standard equipment.

Versatility

With its low height of 2450 mm 8'0", the WA65-5 is theoptimum choice for companies that want to be able totransport their machines with the least amount of effort.Earthmoving and landscaping companies will especiallywelcome the rear axle-oscillation, which allows for digging,and generally provides better stability. The rear axle-oscillation, combined with the optional 100% lockingdifferential, makes this machine a perfect choice fornurseries.

Ease of Operation

Operators of compact wheel loaders are often challenged by avariety of applications. Therefore, easy operation of machine isa must. And this is where the WA65-5 excels. Parallelmovement during pallet-fork applications, superb visibility ofattachments and tires, easy to reach switches and controllevers. In addition, the WA65-5 features a standard suppliedhydraulic front attachment quick-coupler that allows thechanging of front attachments in the shortest time and with theleast effort. Of course, attachments for the Dash 5 series areinterchangeable with the Dash 3 loaders.

Serviceability

Customers with large numbers of compact wheel loadersespecially prefer to do their own servicing. This ensures thebest availability of their equipment. And they want the servicingto be done as quickly as possible so the equipment andmechanics are available for other jobs. With the WA65-5,servicing is done in the shortest time. Simply tilt the operator’scompartment and literally all components are easily accessiblefor servicing within a few minutes. No dismantling of enginehoods, no removing of the operator’s compartment. Dailymaintenance is even simpler. The longitudinally installed engineallows access to all sides of the engine block. All filters, fillpoints and sight gauges are easy to reach, and the radiator isfree-standing for best cleaning access from both sides.

Safety

Working in confined areas and in today’s challenging workingsituations, operators have to be continuously aware of theirsurroundings. The WA65-5, with its narrow, short overhangand its super-large windows, has been designed to give bestall-around visibility. In construction and utility work, getting onand off compact wheel loaders is frequent. Easy, safe accessto and from the operator’s compartment is therefore veryimportant for continuous workflow and a safe workingenvironment. This is provided by the WA65-5’s low entry stepand by its super-wide opening entry door.
