WALK-AROUND
Waste Transfer Station Loaders
The Komatsu-integrated design found in the HST loader line
offers exceptional value, reliability, and versatility. Hydraulics, Low Fuel Consumption
power train, frame, and major components are engineered and The high-torque engine and
manufactured by Komatsu to work together for higher Hydrostatic Transmission (HST)
productivity and less downtime. The Komatsu-designed waste with maximum efficiency in the
transfer station package is specifically matched to the loader and low-speed range provide low
application. fuel consumption

Waste handling bucket designed for

either loading or pushing and loading waste
quickly and efficiently. The bucket features
high strength steel, a spill guard designed for
increased visibility, and a visual bucket level
indicator. Side stiffeners add durability.

Electronically-controlled HST using a 1-pump,

2-motor system allows high efficiency, high tractive
effort, quick travel response and aggressive drive into
the pile. The full auto shifting eliminates manual gear
shifting and kick-down operations.

1. Hydraulic Tank Guard 5. Boom Cylinder and Hose Guards

Provides additional protection from damage by covering the
sides and bottom of the tank. Bolt-on cover allows easy
access for cleaning and maintenance.
2. Front Frame Guard
Protects and keeps debris away from the components
located within the front frame. Bolt-on hinged cover allows
easy access for cleaning and maintenance.
Box-type steel structures helps prevent debris from
reaching the hoses and tubes from the bottom and side.
6. Axle Seal Guards
Protect the axle seals should material wrap around the
axles during operation.

3. Powertrain Bottom Guard

Protects and helps keep debris away from the components
located within the rear frame. Bolt-on hinged cover allows
easy access for cleaning and maintenance.

4. Fuel Tank Guard

Protects and helps keep debris away from the fuel tank.
Bolt-on covers allow easy access for cleaning and
maintenance.

NOTE: Please read and follow all maintenance and

cleaning instructions for this product as set forth in the
operator’s manual. The waste handler features of this
product are no substitute for regular maintenance and
cleaning in an effort to reduce debris accumulation on hot
component surfaces.

WASTE-SPECIFIC FEATURES
By guarding exposed components, reducing debris entry, and making it easy to clean
and service, the Komatsu loader stays working longer for increased productivity.

Heavy-Duty Head Light/Tail Light Guards

Headlights are moved inward and metal guarding protects
the headlights and tail lights from debris that may break or
damage the lenses.

Radiator Air Inlet Protection

Heavy-duty screening over the air entry locations has
4 mm .16" perforations to limit debris entry. Plus, additional
screened air inlets on the top and side of the hood more than
double the area for air to enter. The additional openings slow
the air velocity passing through the debris screens reducing
debris sticking. A flexible rubber mat located below the engine
restricts debris entry from below.

Wide Core Radiator

The wide core radiator increases the spacing between the
fins from 14.5 to 6.35 fins per inch and helps keep the air
flowing for cooler operation.
