Particulars Volvo L120H Komatsu WA480-6A
Overview Summary

In comparing the Komatsu WA480-6A with the Volvo L120H, we find that the Komatsu model boasts higher engine power and a greater breakout force, while Volvo's L120H highlights better maneuverability and a wider range of bucket capacities. Both machines offer GPS as standard and optional AC cabins, catering to various needs in the construction and mining industries.

Komatsu WA480-6A

Pros:
  • Higher engine power at 300 HP compared to Volvo's 255 HP
  • Larger piston displacement at 11.04 L providing robust engine performance
  • Higher breakout force of 212 kN suggesting better digging capabilities
  • Larger bucket capacity range of 3.8 – 6.1 m³ increases the versatility for different tasks
  • Longer wheelbase at 3450 mm could enhance machine stability
Cons:
  • Heavier operating weight may restrict maneuverability and increase fuel consumption
  • Lower maximum dump angle of 45° compared to Volvo's 50°
  • Minimal information on turning radius, an important aspect in maneuverability

Volvo L120H

Pros:
  • Greater steering angle of ±40°, indicating a smaller turning radius for improved maneuverability over the Komatsu model
  • A wider range of bucket capacities from 2.6 - 9.5 m³ allows for greater adaptability to different workloads
  • Optimized fuel consumption due to advanced engine with Common rail fuel injection system
Cons:
  • Lower engine power at 255 HP may result in reduced performance in heavy-duty tasks
  • Smaller piston displacement which could mean lower engine efficiency under certain conditions
  • Lower tipping load both straight and full turn compared to Komatsu, which can limit the load handling capacity

Pros:
Cons:

Closing Recommendation

Your selection between the Komatsu WA480-6A and the Volvo L120H should depend on the specific requirements of your projects. If the emphasis is on higher power, larger capacity, and greater digging force, the Komatsu may be more suitable. Conversely, if maneuverability and a wide range of bucket capacities are more critical for your work, the Volvo L120H is likely a better choice. Assess the trade-offs and consider the operational environment and tasks for the ultimate decision.
