    Particulars Komatsu WA480-6A Liebherr L566
    Overview Summary

    The Komatsu WA480-6A stands out in terms of power and breakout force, making it ideal for rigorous demands such as mining and construction. The Liebherr L566, on the other hand, provides hydrostatic transmission and better fuel efficiency suitable for heavy-duty lifting and repetitive tasks in cement and port operations.

    Komatsu WA480-6A

    Pros:

    • Enhanced load capacity suitable for construction and mining sectors
    • Powerful Komatsu 300 HP engine with Water-cooled; 4-cycle technology
    • Emission standards compliance of EPA Tier 3 / EU Stage IIIA
    • 4-wheel drive (4WD) with full-powershift and countershaft type transmission
    • Articulated type full-hydraulic power steering for better control
    • High breakout force of 212 kN ensures efficient digging

    Cons:

    • Less fuel efficient than competitors due to higher displacement (11.04 L)
    • Higher operating weight between 25005 - 25155 kg may affect maneuverability
    • AC Cabin is optional, which may not be ideal for operators in hot climates

    Liebherr L566

    Pros:

    • Reliable for heavy-duty lifting, ideal for cement and port operations
    • John Deere engine with Electronic Common Rail high-pressure injection for efficiency
    • Higher forward speed of 40 km/h for quicker operations
    • Load-sensing hydraulic system ensures efficient power use
    • Hydrostatic transmission enables easy operation and smooth maneuverability
    • Standard AC Cabin for increased operator comfort

    Cons:

    • Lower engine power at 272 HP when compared to the Komatsu model
    • Lower breakout force of 190 kN may reduce digging efficiency
    • GPS system is optional, which could be a drawback for fleet management and tracking

    Pros:

    Cons:

    Closing Recommendation

    If the choice heavily relies on engine power, breakout force, and construction, the Komatsu WA480-6A would be more suitable. For operations prioritizing speed, efficiency, and comfort with standard AC Cabin, the Liebherr L566 is the recommended option.
