The core of the Komatsu backhoe loader hydraulics is the Closed Load Sensing System (CLSS). Thanks to its variable flow, and together with the “Power” and “Economy”working modes, the integrated engine management, the viscous fan clutch and the eco gauge, the correct power is supplied to the machine when it is needed.

Komatsu designed the WB97R-8 with an easy access to all service points. Routine maintenance and servicing are less likely to be skipped, which can mean a reduction of costly downtime later on.
