Komatsu WA380-8 Wheel Loader - 2021 Premium Production Loader

The Komatsu WA380-8 represents the pinnacle of medium-to-large wheel loader technology, combining legendary Japanese precision engineering with advanced productivity features and exceptional fuel efficiency. This 2021 model with just 5,370 hours offers near-new performance backed by comprehensive service history and single-owner provenance. As one of Komatsu's most popular production loader platforms, the WA380-8 delivers unmatched reliability for demanding aggregate, mining, construction, and material handling operations. Komatsu Engineering Excellence: As Japan's leading construction equipment manufacturer and the world's second-largest producer of earthmoving machinery, Komatsu brings over 100 years of engineering expertise to the WA380-8 platform. Renowned for fuel efficiency, operator comfort, and exceptional build quality, Komatsu loaders consistently outperform competitors in total cost of ownership studies. The WA380-8 embodies Komatsu's SmartLoader concept, integrating advanced hydraulics, intelligent power management, and proven drivetrain components that maximize productivity while minimizing fuel consumption. Single Owner & Full Service History: The documented single-owner provenance with complete service history provides exceptional transparency and peace of mind. Professional maintenance records demonstrate proper care throughout the equipment's operational life, indicating adherence to Komatsu's recommended service intervals and use of genuine parts. This comprehensive documentation significantly reduces acquisition risk and validates the loader's excellent condition. Low Hours & Premium Condition: At 5,370 hours, this WA380-8 has completed less than two years of single-shift operation, retaining the majority of its productive lifespan ahead. Komatsu wheel loaders in this class routinely deliver 15,000-20,000+ productive hours with proper maintenance. The exceptional 80% remaining tire life (both front and rear) further confirms careful operation and professional fleet management, eliminating immediate tire replacement costs and providing years of productive service. Dual Boom Configuration - Exceptional Value: This loader includes BOTH the currently-installed original Komatsu high-lift boom AND the standard boom configuration—representing substantial added value. This dual-boom capability provides operational flexibility for diverse applications: High-Lift Boom (Currently Installed):

Extended reach and elevated dump height for tall-sided haul trucks Optimal for loading over-the-road trucks in quarry and mining operations Superior stockpile placement capability Enhanced truck loading efficiency in production environments

Standard Boom (Included):

Improved breakout force for tough digging applications Better balance for general earthmoving and material handling Enhanced stability for varied terrain operations Versatile configuration for construction applications

This flexibility enables operators to optimize the loader's configuration for specific applications without additional equipment investment—a significant competitive advantage. High-Tip Bucket System: The 6.0 m³ high-tip bucket provides substantial payload capacity for efficient production cycles. The high-tip geometry enables loading of tall-sided trucks common in mining and aggregate operations while maximizing tons-per-hour throughput. This generous bucket capacity combined with Komatsu's efficient hydraulic systems delivers industry-leading production rates with minimal fuel consumption per ton moved. Advanced Hydraulic Features: The third hydraulic valve circuit provides auxiliary hydraulic power for specialized attachments including log grapples, fork carriages, snow blowers, or other work tools. This versatility transforms the WA380-8 into a multi-function platform capable of adapting to changing operational requirements without equipment changes. Joystick Steering Innovation: Komatsu's advanced joystick steering system represents a significant ergonomic advancement, consolidating loader functions into intuitive fingertip controls. This system reduces operator fatigue during extended shifts while improving precision and cycle times. The electronically-controlled steering provides variable response based on machine speed—precise control at low speeds for loading operations, faster response at travel speeds for improved productivity. Premium Operator Environment: The spacious, fully-enclosed ROPS/FOPS-certified cabin features air conditioning for comfortable operation in all climates. The protective ventilation system (Schutzbelüftungsanlage) provides positive cabin pressurization with advanced filtration, protecting operators from airborne silica dust, particulates, and harmful contaminants—critical in quarry, mining, and demolition environments. Large glass panels provide exceptional 360-degree visibility while the suspension seat and low noise/vibration levels create a comfortable working environment that improves operator retention and productivity. Automatic Lubrication System: The integrated automatic central lubrication system (Zentralschmieranlage) continuously delivers precise lubrication to critical pivot points, pins, and bushings throughout operation. This advanced system eliminates manual greasing requirements, dramatically reduces maintenance labor, extends component lifespan, and prevents premature wear from inadequate lubrication. Automatic lubrication ensures consistent protection even during demanding production operations when manual maintenance might be deferred. Additional Productivity Features:

Extra Counterweight: Enhanced stability for maximum bucket loads and elevated operations Rotating Beacon: Safety lighting for improved visibility in congested work areas Mudguards: Protection against debris and weather elements Third Hydraulic Circuit: Versatility for specialized attachments

Fuel Efficiency Leadership: Komatsu's reputation for industry-leading fuel efficiency translates directly to reduced operational costs. The WA380-8's SmartLoader technology optimizes engine speed and hydraulic flow based on load demands, reducing fuel consumption by up to 10-15% compared to previous generation loaders while maintaining superior performance. This efficiency advantage delivers substantial cost savings over the equipment's operational lifespan. German Maintenance Standards: European provenance, specifically German sourcing, ensures equipment maintained to the highest operational standards with comprehensive documentation. German equipment operators are renowned for meticulous maintenance practices and adherence to manufacturer service schedules, providing exceptional equipment condition and transparent operational history. Multi-Application Excellence: The WA380-8's combination of power, capacity, dual-boom flexibility, and advanced features makes it ideal for:

Aggregate quarry production and truck loading Mining support operations and ore handling Large-scale construction earthmoving Port and terminal bulk material operations Demolition material processing Waste management and recycling facilities Stockpile management at steel mills Heavy manufacturing support Snow removal operations (with appropriate attachments)

Investment Value: This exceptional Komatsu WA380-8 represents outstanding value with near-new condition, comprehensive service history, dual boom configurations included, and premium features throughout. The 80% tire life eliminates immediate replacement costs, while the low hours and single-owner provenance provide confidence in long-term reliability. Komatsu's strong resale value protects capital investment, while the included standard boom provides operational flexibility worth tens of thousands in additional value. Perfect for aggregate producers, quarry operators, mining contractors, heavy construction companies, port terminals, waste management operations, steel mills, and any production environment requiring reliable medium-to-large loading capacity with proven Japanese engineering excellence and exceptional fuel efficiency.
