Introduction of Product Introduction of Large Wheel Loader WA600-6

Since it was introduced to its market in 1995, the WA600-3 has won a high reputation among users in various fields. However, more than ten years have passed since the last model changes and a review has become necessary reflecting changes in user needs and model changes of competing machines. Activities have been undertaken to meet social regulations such as Tier-3 exhaust gas regulation to be enforced in Japan, the USA and Europe beginning 2006 and EU Stage 2 noise regulation, as well as calls for global environment protection including reduction of CO2 emissions to prevent global warming and for the respect of humans. Against this backdrop, the WA600-6 has been introduced to a market, incorporating state-of-the-art technology for safety and environmental friendliness and for achieving both “Dantotsu” productivity and economy. 2.
