Komatsu WB97 R-5 
Features
- The WB97R-5 belongs to the last generation of
KOMATSU backhoe loaders, which have come into the market with a number of
innovations.
- Ultimate Comfort
- Modern Design
- Standard PPC Controls
- Backhoe Excavator S-Shape Boom
This Series tracks its origins back to the long Komatsu tradition that
brings backhoe loaders to the top of their class for performance, technology
and reliability.
- Premium Performance
The WB97R-5 offers high productivity and top performance, with increased
breakout force and lifting capacities. The core of the KOMATSU backhoe
loader hydraulics is certainly the consolidated CLSS (Closed Load Sensing
System). Thanks to its variable flow, the system efficiently supplies the
power the machine requires, as it is needed. With two working modes,
“Power” and “Economy”, the operator can conveniently choose between
maximum power and minimum fuel consumption.
- Excellent Visibility
The wide round glass surface highly increases visibility and brings the
machine to the top of its class. The shape of the bonnet and the upper front
window make it easy and safe to work with the front loader. On the other
hand, while using the backhoe excavator, the operator can easily open the
single frame window and comfortably overlook the surrounding area.
- Total Versatility
Several different configurations make this machine suitable for a variety of
customer typologies. The wide offer of options makes for a high level of
customisation: hydraulic side-shift for the backhoe, LSS, radial tyres,
offset boom and quick couplers are just a few.
- Exclusive Design
The front loader design ensures optimal parallel lifting; in addition, the
divergent shape of the arm greatly improves visibility and provides
excellent loading performance. The design of the backhoe is completely new:
it features a clean and functional layout, with hydraulic piping and hoses
along the boom.
- Unique Comfort
Ergonomics and cutting edge technology can be experienced all around the
newly redesigned cab. Room for the operator and comfort are key points of
the WB97R-5: our wide variety of seats can respond to the most diversified
needs and also includes an air suspension fully adjustable model. The
lockable storage compartments, the electric 12 V plug and many other small
details put comfort at the top; standard PPC controls for both the front
loader and the backhoe, not to mention an exceptionally low noise level,
make working much easier and give a great contribution to production.
- Absolute Safety
Following the long Komatsu tradition, the WB97R-5 features a full range of
safety devices: safety sensors under the seat, electro-hydraulic boom lock,
battery disconnect switch (optional). Moreover, for both loader and backhoe,
the safety lock with electro-hydraulic switch is standard, while safety
valves can be added as an option.
