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.
