Komatsu WB97S-8 Backhoe Loader

Built around the successful features of previous Komatsu backhoe loaders, the new Komatsu WB97S‐8 has an operating weight of 8,750 kg, and an improved EU Stage V Komatsu SAA4D102SE-1 engine with more power (75 kW /101 HP gross), lower fuel consumption and no loss of performance or productivity. A viscous fan clutch helps to achieve fuel savings by reducing the engine load when maximum cooling is not required.

The ‘Full Power Shift’ transmission is controlled by a twist grip lever, with automatic gear shifting as standard. A ‘Kick-down’ function is also fitted as standard, allowing sequential shifting from 2nd gear to 1st by just pressing a switch. An automatic ‘Speed-up’ function during loader operations easily releases the full hydraulic power of the WB97S-8.

It’s possible to choose from 3 steering modes: 2 wheel steering (standard operation), 4WS (agile and fast operation) and crab (confined areas).

The WB97S‐8 also offers a high level of standard specifications along with unrivalled operator visibility thanks to Komatsu’s unique combination of a lateral exhaust pipe and compact bonnet.
