Komatsu 855- 2020

A forwarder operator spends many hours a day in the cab, making a pleasant and comfortable work environment extremely important. Komatsu Comfort Ride efficiently dampens jolts and vibrations, ensuring an ergonomic work environment. This in turn contributes to higher productivity and better profitability.

The new generation of Komatsu Comfort Ride comes with comfort-enhancing features like adjustable sideways firmness and automatic side levelling at standstill and at low speed. The elevated unloading mode now also works at low speed, to make it smoother to reposition the forwarder at the landing. Great news for all forwarder operators!

Komatsu Mini Steering Wheel means more space in the cab and a more comfortable driving experience. SpeedShift (Option) enables you to drive the machine at any speed between 0 and about 24 km/h without stopping to change gears – increasing productivity and saving fuel.

The crane has a long reach and a high net lifting force, a reliable pillar and hose routing solution and a Combi outer boom. Tiltable crane pillar (option) for efficient loading in steep terrain.

The Komatsu 855 has a large bunk characterised by its flexibility and many options. One is FlexGate, the gate that improves visibility and flexes out of the way if struck by the crane. This simplifies loading and minimises the risk of machine damage. Another is FlexBunk, which with its hydraulic height-adjustable stakes and option to widen the bunk provides a high load capacity.

Service and maintenance are quickly and easily conducted. All daily service can be performed from ground level via easily accessible service hatches and the dipsticks are quickly and easily checked. The engine hood is electrically powered and the filters are strategically located together for easy access under the hood. The forwarder has many conveniently located service hatches.

We have a brand new engine installation conforming to the latest emission legislation (Stage V). It also offers you many other advantages, such as an all new AdBlue system, a new exhaust system and hydraulic tappets. Despite the new larger engine installation we’ve managed to keep the same slim design with good all round visibility and views of the machine – right down to the wheels.
