McHale Plant Sales has confirmed the imminent availability to the Irish market of two new, completely re-designed Komatsu skid-steer loader and compact track loader machines which were prototyped at the bauma 2025 exhibition: a new 4 tonne skid steer loader and a new 5 tonne compact track loader.
According to their sales director, Denis McGrath, who was present at their introduction, the new units have been added to Komatsu’s Dash-8 range to provide what he described as unbeatable customer values in the loader sector.
“Exceptional capacity and advanced hydraulic specifications, driven by low-emission, low-maintenance Stage V engines. These features ensure one of the highest operating capacities in their category, combined with superior lifting power, breakout force, and traction performance.”
McGrath said.
Among the features benefiting operators:
- Low emissions, thanks to the 53.7 kW Stage V-compliant engine equipped with a diesel particulate filter.
- Excellent stability and weight distribution in all operating conditions.
- Maximum driver comfort, with high performance, lift pin height, and category-leading lifting capacity.
Additional enhancements include:
- Redesigned hydraulic system, reducing maintenance costs;
- New cab layout, featuring a lift-up sliding door for greater comfort and uninterrupted operation in all conditions;
- Advanced operator comfort functions, including an air-suspended seat, pressurized cab, and intuitive controls, with features such as slow speed system, cruise control, adaptive steering, return to dig, and other driving modes.
A rear-view camera with ‘human’ detection system, radio, LED lights and an optional front hydraulic quick coupler add to what McGrath says are
“two worthy additions to the Komatsu portfolio, engineered for applications in which skid-steer units are deemed the most effective, most economical, and most cost-value choice”
McGrath added.
