The Museum of CONSTRUCTION EQUIPMENT

2010 OPEN

As use of ICT for construction equipment became more common, things like crewless dump trucks, IT execution, and KOMTRAX were further developed. Hybrid equipment that decreased both fuel consumption and carbon dioxide emission was introduced and marked a new generation of construction machines.

Komatsu Medium size wheel loader WA270-8

By continuing to use the two-motor electronic control Hydro-Static Transmission and the advanced cooperative control system "Komatsu Smart Loader Logic" that optimally controls the hydraulic system, traveling system, and engine, the product achieves high levels of both productivity and fuel consumption, reducing fuel consumption significantly.

Equipped with an air suspension seat with heater and a load meter with built-in multi monitor as standard features, the product allows for more comfortable and efficient work. In addition, the latest KOMTRAX (Komatsu Machine Operation Tracking System) installed in the machine enables management of the vehicle operation information for each operator, as well as confirming the usage amount of AdBlue®(*1) required for selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of the exhaust gas aftertreatment system.

Wheel loader OPEN

It was 1949 when the first wheel loader was manufactured in Japan, however, it was not until mid 1960's when Komatsu entered the wheel loader market aligning with International Harvester. From JH series in the beginning, to the 500 series, to Komatsu's original WA series, our wheel loaders have met the needs of construction sites by scaling up, coping with the environment and adopting advanced technology such as mechatronics and IT.
