About · Komatsu WA480

Overview

The Komatsu WA480 is a large wheel loader with an operating weight of 25,960 kg and an engine output of 299 hp. It is equipped with a bucket capacity of 4.6 m3, positioning it in the heavy end of the articulated wheel loader segment. The model has been in continuous production since 2018, making current-generation examples widely available in the used market.

Typical applications

Where this machine is used

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.

Used-market inspection

What to check before buying

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.

Current market

Price position

In the European used market the WA480 trades at an average of EUR 26,500, with a typical price range spanning EUR 23,500 to EUR 29,500. Buyers comparing alternatives in the same segment should evaluate the Liebherr L576 and the Doosan DL450, both of which compete directly in this payload and power bracket. Condition, configuration, and attachment fitment are the primary variables driving price within that range.
