Komatsu's 4-Ton Skid Steer Loader Delivers Performance in Demanding Applications
Komatsu's Skid Steer Loaders Maximize Machine Performance And Operator Comfort While Minimizing Operating And Maintenance Costs.
Rolling Meadows, IL, For CONEXPO - CON/AGG 2008- The SK1026-5 skid steer loader is designed to withstand the toughest applications without yielding engine power and performance. Equipped with Komatsu's patented Automatic Power Control (APC) and a standard two-speed transmission, the exclusive features of the SK1026 allow the operator to maximize productivity and uptime on the job site.
The SK1026, with an operating weight of 8,068 pounds is powered by Komatsu engine with a net horsepower of 84 HP. The turbocharged and water cooled direct fuel injection engine meets EPA emissions requirements and is fuel efficient without sacrificing power or efficiency.
The SK1026 has one of the longest wheel bases in it class (48 inches), giving the operator a more stable ride when carrying heavy loads as well as reducing bucket spills and provides a better platform for operating high flow attachments.
Special features of the SK1026 include:
o Unique Komatsu Features Offer Extreme Power, No Stall-Outs Available throughout Komatsu's entire skid steer product line, APC allows the operator to work at full power during any phase of the job, from digging to loading and carrying without concern about engine stall-out. TheSK1026 features a super flow hydraulic system that increases the available oil flow for attachments from 21 GPM to 34 GPM enabling the SK1026 to power most attachments, making it a very flexible and productive unit.
The SK1026 has an auxiliary hydraulic circuit with a maximum flow of 21.0 gpm. This system has proven results throughout Komatsu 's line of construction and utility equipment and has been specifically redesigned to guarantee smooth, efficient skid steer operation with the reliable hydraulics for which Komatsu is known.
o Vertical Lift Design Ideal For Truck Loading And Pallets
The SK1026 features a vertical lift loader arm design to keep the load steady throughout the lifting ycle and allows for maximum bucket reach at full dump height. This makes the machine ideal for truck loading and the handling of palletized materials. It also improves stability in load and carry applications since the bucket remains close to the machine and moves in a vertical path.
o Industry Leading Transmission And Controls
Komatsu offers a standard, two-speed, shift-on-the-go transmission with a working speed of 6.5 mph and a travel speed of 10.0 mph. All instrumentation is located on the operator lap bar for easy viewing, and all controls and switches are within easy reach of the operator.
Komatsu'sProportional Pressure Control (PPC) joystick levers are easy to use while providing precise and accurate control of the machine. The operators also have the choice of two control patterns, ISO and optional hand controls. Both control patterns are fully hydraulic, adjustment and maintenance free.
o Machine Strength Combined With Comfortable Cab Layout
The SK1026 features a rated operating capacity of 2,650 pounds, a tipping load of 5,300pounds and a bucket breakout force of 5,400 pounds. The SK1026 offers optional,fully enclosed cabs with slide-up overhead front doors to feature an expansive entrance, 360-degree visibility, heating and air conditioning. Other options include ride control, engine air pre-leaner, and a suspension seat for increased operator comfort. Safety features include a backup alarm, horn, retractable seatbelt, and a seat switch and lap bar that automatically neutralizes machine operations when the operator moves off the seat or raises the bar.
o Ease Of Maintenance And Serviceability
Komatsu's attention to the placement and easy access of components ensures that service and maintenance will not be overlooked. Komatsu uses special bronze bushings and dust-seals which mean the greasing/lubrication of pins is required at 250 hour intervals while most competitors require daily greasing. A tilt-forward cab and engine cover provides easy access to all engine, driveline and hydraulic components and the every-day machine checks can all be accomplished by simply raising the lockable engine cover.
