The WA80M-8 delivers first class operator comfort, optimum visibility, outstanding safety levels, an ergonomic interface, effortless operation, a 40 km/h high speed option, and a bold contemporary styling for a strong distinctive visual presence. Combined with Komtrax, the WA80M-8 promises unbeatable customer value-whatever and wherever the job.

On construction sites, for gardening, landscaping or agricultural jobs, the Komatsu WA80M-8 is a reliable and versatile tool, with its hydraulic quick-coupler, Easy Fork kinematic and a wide range of available attachments.

“The WA80M-8 is an authentic all-rounder,” says Michael Wadsack, Product Manager at Komatsu Europe. “Compact dimensions, excellent visibility and a wide variety of options make this latest Komatsu compact wheel loader everyone’s favourite little helper on the jobsite”.

Powerful, flexible, and versatile

The WA80M-8 has an operating weight of 5,995 kg. Optimised for tough construction applications, its powerful Komatsu S4D98E-6VHA low-emission engine (53.7 kW -72 HP) complies with EU Stage V regulations. A fully automatic hydrostatic transmission sends power to all four wheels. Available options include increased travel speed, up to 40km/h.

With high rim pull, superior breakout power, high lifting and dumping height, and enough reserves for even the most difficult ground conditions, the WA80M-8 also features low fuel consumption. The operator can rely on Easy Fork kinematic to transport loads with Komatsu pallet forks parallel to the ground without readjusting the fork tines.

Reduced Operating Costs 

A 6.000 hr cleaning interval typically makes the DPF maintenance-free for 10 years. Komatsu’s buckets are easy to fill; they offer increased operating comfort, boost the wheel loader’s productivity, and help to reduce fuel consumption.

Komtrax telematics offer top fleet management and support, protect the machine against misuse and guarantee maximum efficiency and uptime - and is free of charge.

Comfort & Safety

For maximum operational safety, the machine’s low centre of gravity enhances stability, and its compact dimensions and engine hood ensure exceptional all-round visibility.

The large and multifunctional high-resolution TFT-LCD widescreen colour monitor has 15 built-in languages. Improved ergonomic controls include a PPC multi-function lever for easy operating. The optional air conditioner and Electronic Controlled Suspension System (ECSS) further promote comfort and productivity.

Easy Maintenance

All maintenance and service can be performed easily and quickly thanks to the tilting cab. The engine hood opens widely for a quick daily inspection, the electric equipment is well protected behind a maintenance cover, and the easy-to-clean wide core radiator, with an optional reversible fan, is conveniently accessible. A compartment for the battery, main switch and relays improves maintenance access to the electrical system.
