Features

• The WH716 belongs to the new series of KOMATSU telescopic handlers, which offers:
  - The high quality, the safety and the cutting edge technology which typically characterise all KOMATSU products
  - The Super Low Boom Profile, a new design which offers unique advantages in terms of stability and visibility
  
  
• Excellent Visibility
  Thanks to the particular design of the frame, the hinging point of the boom is extremely low; this characteristic, together with the extending cylinder, which is inside the boom, ensures a 360° visibility, an unparalleled feature
  
  
• Top Performance
  - High lifting capacity to the maximum height and the maximum reach, both on stabilisers and on tyres, with the help of the frame levelling (ą10°) and the rear axle lock (optional), which is automatic over a 30° boom angle
  - The CLSS (Closed Load Sensing System) hydraulic system, which is a closed-centre circuit, with Load Sensing and a variable displacement pump that ensures smooth proportional and combined movements; all this guarantees maximum productivity and minimum consumption
  - High travel speed powered by the standard Full Power Shift transmission
  
  
• Easy Manoeuvrability
  - The wide steering angles make the steering radius extremely reduced for the category, both over tyres and over forks
  - Three different steering modes (two-wheel, four- wheel and crab) allow the operator to smoothly and precisely move the machine, whatever the conditions, from small building yards to road transfers
  
  
• Total Comfort
  - Spacious cab
  - Exceptionally low noise
  - The PPC servo-control for the boom and the work tool allows the operator three simultaneous and proportional movements
  - The EGS (Electronic Gear System) electronically controls the transmission, the self-diagnosis system and the selection of the travelling direction; by using a twist grip lever the operator can choose between 5 forward and 3 reverse speeds
  - The hydraulic quick coupler, optional, allows users to change work tools without leaving the cab
  
  
• Full Safety
  - The SLI stability control device (Safe Load Indicator), equipped with an acoustic and visual alarm, informs the operator when the machine stability limit is approaching
  - The ASM anti-tipping system (Auto Stop of the Movements), optional, prevents the machine from aggravating movements and only allows the retraction of the boom
  - The selection of the three steering modes by the simultaneous pushing of two buttons avoids accidental shifting, always ensuring total safety in steering mode changes
  - Three working modes provide full operator comfort and safety: travelling, working, working and travelling (except for higher speeds)
  - Servo-assisted service brakes with double hydraulic independent circuits, active on both axles
  - The automatic rear axle oscillation lock, optional, increases both lift performance and security
  - Safety valves on the hydraulic cylinders
  
  
• Highest Stability
  - The long wheelbase provides the machine with a wide bearing area; together with a very low centre of gravity, it also guarantees excellent static and dynamic stability to the KOMATSU telescopic handler
  - The three stage telescopic boom features chains for the extension of the third stage of the boom; this solution helps to reduce the weight of the whole structure, improving stability and loading capacity
