Applications typiquesLieu d'utilisation de cette machine
Wheel loaders in this size and power class are commonly deployed in quarrying, bulk material handling, port operations, and large-scale civil earthworks. The 4.6 m3 bucket capacity makes the WA480 well suited to high-throughput loading cycles into rigid dump trucks or processing plant hoppers. It is also used in recycling yards and industrial stockpile management where high lift capacity and manoeuvrability are both required.
Inspection du marché de l'occasionCe qu'il faut vérifier avant d'acheter
Prospective buyers should carry out a full visual and operational inspection covering the articulation joint, steering cylinders, and boom pivot pins, as these are high-load wear points on machines of this class. Hydraulic system integrity, including hose condition and any signs of seal leakage at the lift and tilt cylinders, warrants close attention. A full service history and dealer maintenance records add measurable confidence to any purchase. An independent pre-purchase inspection by a qualified Komatsu technician is advisable before committing to a unit at any price point within the market range.
