Over · Komatsu WA470Overzicht
The Komatsu WA470 is a large wheel loader in the 22,966 kg operating weight class, powered by an engine rated at 272 hp and equipped with a bucket capacity of 4.2 m³. It occupies the upper-mid segment of the wheel loader market, positioned for high-throughput bulk material handling. The machine competes directly with comparable models from established manufacturers in the same size and power bracket.
Typische toepassingenWaar deze machine wordt gebruikt
Wheel loaders of this class are employed in aggregate quarries, mining support operations, port terminals, and large-scale civil construction projects. They are well suited to loading trucks, feeding crushing and screening plants, and moving bulk materials such as sand, gravel, and crushed stone. The 4.2 m³ bucket capacity makes the WA470 a practical choice for contractors requiring high cycle productivity in demanding environments.
Tweedehandsmarkt inspectieWat je moet controleren voordat je koopt
Prospective buyers should commission a full mechanical inspection covering the powertrain, hydraulic circuits, boom and bucket pivot pins, and all structural welds for fatigue or crack propagation. Tire condition and remaining tread depth represent a meaningful cost consideration and should be assessed independently. Service history documentation, filter change intervals, and oil analysis records provide the clearest indication of machine care. On machines of this weight class, attention should also be given to the condition of the axles, differentials, and transmission for signs of heat discolouration or leakage.
Huidige marktPrijspositie
In the European market the WA470 trades at an average of EUR 58,475, with a typical price range spanning EUR 53,960 to EUR 66,000. This positions it within a competitive segment that includes the Caterpillar 966 and the Hyundai HL770, both of which target buyers in the same operating weight and application category. Buyers evaluating these alternatives should weigh total cost of ownership, parts network coverage, and regional dealer support alongside the acquisition price.
