Features and benefits

Large displacement high efficiency pump

Large displacement high efficiency pump

Large displacement hydraulic implement pumps provide high flow output at lower engine RPM, operation at the most efficient engine speed.

Closed-center load-sensing hydraulic system

Closed-center load-sensing hydraulic system

Smooth operation, quick cycle times, great multi-function, while lowering fuel consumption from closed-center load-sensing hydraulic system.

Built for strength

Built for strength

Equipment designed for long-term durability with high resistance to bending and torsional stress. Booms and arms are constructed with thick plates of high tensile strength streel and designed with large cross-sectional areas.

Cleaner emissions

Cleaner emissions

A heavy-duty aftertreatment system that combines a Komatsu Diesel Particulate Filter (KDPF) and selective catalytic reduction (SCR). The system injects the correct amount of diesel exhaust fluid at the proper rate, decomposing nitrogen oxide.
