Waste Transfer Station Loaders
The Komatsu-integrated design found in the HST loader line offers exceptional value, reliability, and versatility.
Hydraulics, power train, frame, and major components are engineered and manufactured by Komatsu to work
together for higher productivity and less downtime. The Komatsu-designed waste transfer station package is
specifically matched to the loader and application.

optional limited slip differentials this system
provides the following benefits:
• Facilitates operation on soft ground where
the tires of the machine are apt to slip 0 Travel speed
• Eliminates excessive bucket penetration
and reduces tire slippage during stockpile loading to
improve the work efficiency
• Reduces tire slippage to extend the life of tires
Furthermore, the maximum tractive effort can be
adjusted in three stages (one
stage for conventional machines)
when the traction control switch is
ON. This allows the operator to
select the optimum tractive effort
for diversified road conditions.

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.

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 0.16" 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. Sheet metal gaps are sealed to help prevent Wide Core radiator
debris entry.
The wide core radiator fin density was decreased from
14.5 to 6.35 fins per inch to provide large fin spacing and
help keep the core clean and air flowing for cooler
operation.
