Komatsu’s Traction Control System automatically provides optimum traction when operating in soft ground conditions. If conditions worsen and the HM400-5 detects tire slippage, the inter-axle-lock kicks in. If tire slippage continues, four independent brakes are automatically applied to the slipping wheels to regain traction.

Owners and operators can keep track of production with a standard, integrated payload meter that displays loaded-material weight on an LCD monitor inside the cab. A pair of external lamps illuminate green, yellow and red as the payload increases through three different ranges to help prevent under- and overloaded haul cycles. Data is stored on boards and is accessible by plugging a laptop into a port in the truck or remotely via KOMTRAX.

“Users can take advantage of Komatsu’s remote telematics systems to monitor machine health and get ahead of developing issues before they impact productivity,” said Witkowski. “Plugging into the onboard data storage gives access to a deeper layer of production data, which can increase visibility to jobsite performance. The HM400-5 is an ideal fit for anyone looking to move mass amounts of material with lower cost in mind.”
