Komatsu Designed Interaxle and
Differential Locking Systems
T
he full-time six-wheel drive system
reduces slippage. A wet multiple-disk
interaxle clutch also locks the three axles
in unison for greater traction. The interaxle
lock and differential locks can be switched
on and off while the truck is travelling,
thereby boosting productivity.
In addition, the differential lock
switch, which is a three position
switch, can lock up the rear axle
differentials only, or all axles for
maximum performance in the
worst conditions.
Komatsu Designed Electronically Controlled
Countershaft Transmission
The Komatsu designed Electronically Controlled Transmission
called K-ATOMiCS has been successfully employed in
Komatsu’s rigid dump trucks. The electronic clutch modulation
system ensures proper clutch pressure when the clutch is
engaged. The total control system controls both the engine and
transmission by monitoring the vehicle conditions. This high
technology system assures smooth shifts without shock.

High Performance SAA6D140E-3 Komatsu Engine
This engine delivers faster acceleration and higher
travel speeds with the highest horsepower per ton in its
class. Advanced technology, such as Common Rail Injection
system (CRI), air to air aftercooler, and an efficient tur-
bocharger enabl
es
the engine to meet the North American
EPA Tier II emission regulations. High torque at low speed,
impressive acceleration, and low fuel consumption ensures
maximum productivity.
