Haul more with lower TCO
The Komatsu HM460-6 articulated dump truck is engineered for operations that demand more from every haul cycle — more traction, power, torque, control, capacity and uptime — all at lower operating costs.
Fleet operators can benefit from lower TCO thanks to the powerful next-generation DBA127 engine and increased payload capacity of 46.3 short tons. This results in up to a 22% increase in fuel efficiency over the previous model, along with extended service intervals for greater uptime and lower maintenance costs.
Traction you can trust
When haul roads deteriorate due to rain, loose overburden or soft subgrade, maintaining forward momentum is critical. The HM460-6 integrates the Komatsu Traction Control System (KTCS) with inter-axle and manually activated cross-axle differential locks to deliver layered traction support in challenging terrain, enabling operators to apply multiple traction strategies based on site conditions.
This innovative traction approach helps keep trucks moving, supports self-recovery and reduces downtime caused by stuck equipment, improving cycle time consistency.
New powertrain for greater performance
The HM460-6 DBA127 engine brings haul truck performance to a whole new level. Engineered and built by Komatsu, it delivers higher power and torque to help maintain speed and traction under load. Plus, the new full-automatic 9-speed transmission continuously monitors payload and terrain conditions to select the best gear.
This new powertrain supports heavy hauling — especially on grades — and optimal cycle times, particularly in challenging terrain. This potent powertrain combo of a next-generation engine and an advanced transmission helps operators move more material with greater confidence and predictability across the jobsite.
