KOMTRAX ™, installed as standard on most Komatsu machines, is an innovative system that allows you to monitor all essential information about your Komatsu equipment directly on your computer. In any country where KOMTRAX ™ transmission is allowed, when the system is activated on a machine, the data is uploaded regularly via satellite or via mobile communication and can be accessed easily through a web browser. A wide variety of parameters is available to precisely state the condition of your KOMTRAX ™ equipped machines. You can optimize your production by increasing efficiency and proactive maintenance. Komtrax ™ is a tool that helps you manage your fleet of Komatsu machines easily and at no cost.

The technologies developed over many years and owned by Komatsu, make engines more efficient and with reduced emissions. The Stage V diesel engine reduces particulate emissions by more than 50% and keeps nitrogen oxide (NOx) levels low, when compared to Stage IV levels, while lowering fuel consumption. Through the development of engines, hydraulic units, control systems and specific main components, Komatsu, with its equipment, has achieved exceptional performance and a wide range of operating conditions. Since customers expect top performance and quality from machines, all equipment is designed to meet expectations, with an emphasis on reduced fuel consumption and a lower impact on the environment.

This revolutionary system greatly simplifies operations and delivers shorter V-shape cycles. Boom lifting speed is now controlled by the hydraulic lever instead of the accelerator pedal, making operation more intuitive. The optimal balance between travel speed and boom lifting speed is easily achieved, allowing the WA475-11 to approach the loading area with exceptional smoothness.

The Komatsu Traction Control System (K-TCS) controls the K-HMT and engine to automatically optimise traction based on work conditions. Rim pull can be set to four levels to prevent wheel spin on any terrain. Consistent traction increases productivity while reducing tyre wear and operating costs.
