With a backhoe dig depth to 5.2 m with extended dipper and a 1.03 m³ loader bucket capacity, our Komatsu WB97R-8E0 is a user-friendly machine with top class performance. As with all utility-sized machines, key components are designed and manufactured by Komatsu to work together in an integrated package. And it comes standard with our Komtrax remote monitoring and location system, backed by our Australia-wide service and support network.

    Features and benefits

    Maximised efficiency

    Maximised efficiency

    The Komatsu EU Stage V compact engine featuring state-of-the-art technology delivers the highest efficiency in a small package. The aftertreatment system combines a maintenance free Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). With ultra-low emissions, it provides a lower environmental impact and a superior performance to help reduce operating costs and lets the operator work in complete peace of mind.

    Optimal jobsite safety

    Optimal jobsite safety

    The wide round glass surface presents a highly increased visibility. The bonnet shape, the lateral exhaust pipe and the upper front window make it easy and safe to work with the front loader. When operating the backhoe excavator, the operator can easily open the single frame window and comfortably overlook the surrounding area.

    Powerful and environmentally friendly
