WHAT ARE KOMATSU GENUINE ATTACHMENTS?

Komatsu Genuine Attachments (KGA) are a range of buckets,

quick hitches, Ground Engaging Tools (GET), wear packages and
other attachments specifically designed for Komatsu construction
and utility excavators and construction wheel loaders.
Each KGA Bucket has been designed to suit the machine and best match
machine performance to its application, providing an integrated digging
solution for optimum performance.
Advantages of KGA Buckets:
D esigned and manufactured in Australia to Komatsu factory
specifications for each machine
T ip radius dimensions are minimised to maximise bucket breakout force
for each machine
B ucket sizes are matched to machine lift capacities and working
conditions in order to maximise productivity and minimise
maintenance costs and down time

WHY USE KGA WEAR PACKAGES? WHAT DIFFERENTIATES THE NEW KGA QUICK HITCHES FROM OTHERS?

Using KGA Wear Packages on your excavator buckets provides
additional structural integrity to the base buckets, for extended
life, increased performance and reduced downtime.
Komatsu offers a full range of KGA Wear Packages, offering varying
levels of wear protection to suit different applications. From working
in tough and abrasive materials in rock excavation, to extremely tough
quarrying and high production rock excavation.
All add-on wear package components are replaceable, adding
considerably to the life of your KGA base bucket.
The base GP bucket is fitted with KGA Quick Hitches have been specially designed and

general applications. productivity, and the highest levels of safety.
Only KGA Quick Hitches are designed and manufactured in accordance
with Komatsu factory specifications and are optimised for Komatsu
excavators and KGA buckets complete with a full Komatsu factory
warranty, something no other quick hitch manufacturer can offer.
Designed specifically to suit Australian conditions and requirements, KGA
Quick Hitches are of robust construction, manufactured from high tensile
steel for lower maintenance costs and reduced downtime. All sizes are
held in stock, ensuring they are available for immediate delivery.
Komatsu excavators and KGA Quick Hitches also feature an
integrated safety system to provide maximum jobsite safety,
including:
Secure auto locking hitch
H ose-burst protection valves as standard on all Komatsu Dash 8
excavators, providing further protection against accidental dropping of

The red secondary locking tongue clearly indicates to the

The operator must intentionally disengage the rear latch completely
for the secondary locking tongue to unlock. The secondary lock can
hold the full weight of the bucket safely if rear latch is not engaged.
Due to the secure engagement and locking mechanism any space between
the bucket pick-up faces does not require additional spaces or shims.

The quick hitch will not slide along the pins even under severe
machine applications.
The KGA Multi Quick Hitch allows the operator to change the attachment
in seconds without moving from the cabin seat. This equates to improved
productivity and safety. The high pressure hydraulic cylinder is designed to
match machine operating pressures for low cost long life operation.
KGA CONFORMANCE TO AUSTRALIAN QUICK HITCH STANDARD AS4772-2008
The KGA quick hitch design has undergone independent analysis to
confirm satisfaction to the Australian Standard AS4772-2008 Earth-Moving
Machinery Quick hitches for excavators and backhoe loaders. The results
are summarised below, confirming that the KGA quick hitch comprehensively
satisfies the requirements of the Australian Standard AS4772-2008.
