Komatsu Introduces New WA65-5 And WA70-5 Compact Wheel Loaders For Tight Workspaces, Loading Applications
-
High performance for efficient daily operation
WA65-5 Wheel Loader - Superior versatility in confined areas
- Increased glass area for operator comfort and visibility
MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO – SMS Rents has introduced two members of the
Komatsu Dash-5 line of wheel loaders to its rental fleets – the 55 HP (41
kW) WA65-5 and the 61 HP (46 kW) WA70-5. These versatile machines serve
as important loading/support tools for supply yards, confined jobsites,
landscaping, utility and light construction markets.
“These machines are more comfortable, easier to maintain and more efficient in daily operations,” says Bob Lessner, Product Manager, Komatsu America Corp. “They’re a versatile alternative to skid steers, because they can be used in either forklift or bucket operations.”
The WA65-5 features an operating weight of 10,208 lb. (4 630 kg) and a breakout force of 8,162 lb. (3 702 kg). The WA70-5 features an operating weight of 11,077 lb. (5 025 kg) and a breakout force of 8,008 lb. (3 632 kg). Both units are equipped with Komatsu emissionized engines that meet EC Stage II emission standards.
Versatility and Performance Features
To respond quickly to varying conditions, the WA65-5 and the WA70-5
are equipped with a Hydrostatic Transmission (HST). The HST allocates only
as much power as is needed for
a given application, ensuring accurate and optimum loader operations. Front
and rear limited slip
differentials provide added productivity and force.
For outstanding visibility, the WA65-5 and the WA70-5 are equipped with a delta boom, providing operators with an unobstructed view of the loader bucket, improving performance in both forward and reverse applications.

- For traveling comfort, the WA65-5 and WA70-5 have a wheelbase of 80.7 in. (2,0 m) and can travel up to 12.4 mph (20 kph).
- Improved operator comfort
Keeping the operator in mind, Komatsu designs its cabs with features to
make the operator’s environment comfortable, to minimize fatigue and simplify
operation for increased productivity. The WA65-5 and the WA70-5 have an
ergonomically designed cab to provide more legroom. An increased window
area, sloped engine hood, narrow tail and heated rear window offer more
visibility, increasing safety and performance. Additional features include
large storage areas, easy cab access and optional air-conditioning. Noise
levels are kept at 73 d[B]A. A ride control system is optional.
Serviceability for increased uptime
For easy service access, each wheel loader features a tilt forward
operator’s compartment, wide opening engine hood and convenient access to
an independently mounted radiator. The wheel loaders height is below 8.2
ft. (2,5 m) for easy transportation.
