Features

Match the machine to the job with a variety of load capacities - 12, 14, 16, or 20 metric tons - and several frame-length options. Designed for smooth and precise operation. Rugged cranes have a reach and excellent lifting and slewing torque.

Maneuver with confidence in the most rugged forests, even when fully loaded. Chassis and suspensions are designed for performance under demanding conditions. Komatsu Comfort Bogie axles with a high portal offset and V-shaped frames provide some of the highest ground clearance in the industry.

Operator comfort is key to your productivity. Spacious and open, our cab provides fantastic visibility, ergonomic controls and a seat that delivers all-day comfort. Optional Comfort Ride suspension provides added comfort and capabilities.

Maximize performance with high power and torque while driving efficiency with a fuel-efficient engine. A sophisticated control system automatically adapts to changes in engine load.

Get exceptional tractive force thanks to an intelligent hydrostatic transmission system that considers machine load, terrain conditions, power and torque output. Hydraulic retarder overspeed protection on the 875-1 and 895-2 models ensures the driveline won't run too fast.

Give operators the benefit of machine controls they can fine-tune for sensitivity and speed or smoothness and accuracy – whatever the job demands. Our state-of-the-art MaxiXplorer/MaxiXT system monitors and controls everything from engine and crane to the transmission and service ladders.

Less time servicing means more time forwarding. Maintenance is quickly and easily completed with a service-friendly design featuring an electronically powered tilting hood. All filters are located together for easy access under the hood.

When you need to do ground or stump leveling on tough terrain, an optional heavy-duty stacking blade is available. Mounted with a high angle of departure for climbing obstacles, there’s no interference between blade, battery boxes or hood guard.

Don’t lose valuable time when the temperatures drop. A standard diesel heater system heats the engine coolant, hydraulic oil and the batteries to facilitate cold-weather starting on the 845-1, 855-3, 875-1 and 895-2.
