\"\"<\/p>\n\n\n

Komatsu<\/a> introduced its new HD465-10 and HD605-10 mechanical haul trucks to the North America market, offering an upgrade from the previous -8 models. The new haul trucks are designed to help increase productivity and improve fuel efficiency in quarry, mining and aggregate applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The HD465-10 is a 60-ton rigid frame machine with a high payload capacity and efficient hauling capabilities. The HD605-10 mechanical haul truck is a 70-ton rigid frame machine designed for reliability and durability. Both trucks offer a tight turning radius for easy navigation on narrow haul roads and ergonomically designed cabin features for operator comfort during long shifts. With increased horsepower and higher-strength steel for reduced operating weight, the machines are built to provide excellent speed on grade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional features include a MacPherson-strut-type independent front suspension that allows the vehicle to smoothly traverse uneven road surfaces, the ability to regulate fuel efficiency for lighter work with \u2018economy\u2019 and \u2018economy light\u2019 modes and controlled downhill descent with the automatic retard speed control function. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

New operator features include hill start assist, throttle lock, a retractable sun visor and waiting brake. Beneficial maintenance elements include a full LED light package, plastic resin wheel chocks, maintenance-free batteries, brake performance checks and ground level Komatsu Oil and Wear Analysis (KOWA) sampling ports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cKomatsu is committed to developing equipment that supports our customers\u2019 needs and helps them be most effective at the job site,\u201d said Madeline Pearce, product marketing manager. \u201cThe fuel efficiency and productivity benefits these products provide, combined with a number of operator-designed features, demonstrate that commitment. We are excited to provide these new models of haul trucks to support our customers across North America.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new HD605-10 truck will be showcased at MINExpo International Sept. 24-26, in the Pronto Autonomous Haulage booth (West Hall booth 10013).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
