When you need a mechanical haul truck to help improve productivity and efficiency at your mine operations, the HD1500-8E0 is the solution. This vehicle features a high performance Komatsu SDA16V159E-3 engine, large capacity retarder, tight turning radius and Komatsu Traction Control System (KTCS) to help ensure higher levels of productivity.
Help drive efficiency with Komatsu's U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emission regulation-compliant engine, energy saving operations and selectable operating modes. You can also help keep your mining operations safe with features like KomVision, a 360-degree monitoring system that uses six cameras for a real-time view of your surroundings. In addition to 360-degree view, a six-panel radar obstacle detection system provides an audible/visual alert when an object is detected in the working area.
