New Komatsu HD605-10 rigid dump truck
The latest addition to Komatsu’s extensive product range – and that of its distributor in Ireland, McHale Plant Sales – is the new HD605-10 rigid dump truck, whose improved features include enhanced engine power and torque, and what Komatsu says is ‘cutting-edge fuel-reduction technologies’.
Drawing on over a century of Komatsu expertise in quarry and mining operations, the HD605-10 sets ‘new benchmarks in safety, productivity, durability, and environmental responsibility,’ with a focus on meeting customer demands in quarry applications. Added benefits described by Komatsu include ‘increased power and optimal performance’ at the lowest cost per tonne, unparalleled safety and comfort for operators, with weight reductions, improved durability and an expanded load capacity up to 64 tonnes with 43m3 body.
Building on the reliability of its predecessor, the new HD605-10 is equipped with a powerful 610kW Stage 5 engine and a host of other features improvements said by McHale Plant Sales director, Denis McGrath to include “a number of ‘car-like’ features such as three selectable drive modes to match applications [Economy, Economy Light, & Power], illuminated stair walkways, an external seat belt reminder lamp, hill start assist, and cruise control”.
