KOMATSU dealer McHale Plant Sales has revealed that models from the new EU Stage V-compliant SK715-8, SK815-8 and SK820-8 range of skid steer loaders are now available in Ireland.
The ‘Dash 8’ range is said to include a ‘spacious’ cabin, high torque engines that deliver quick acceleration, and what Komatsu calls ‘miserly’ fuel consumption.
Replacing the outgoing Dash-5 model, this latest version is described by McHale Plant Sales director, Denis McGrath, as delivering ‘faster movements, faster operations and a more rewarding driving experience’.
New features include a 6,000hrs/12 years maintenance-free diesel particulate filter; increased load capacity (+9%); increased torque (+7%) and engine power (+3%); reduced fuel consumption (-5%); increased drawbar pull (+8%); new high comfort seat and lower height (-2,000mm).
Retained is the optional pull-up sliding door. Other features include a tiltable cab and new 3.5” LCD monitor.
