Komatsu to Unveil New 7.5-Tonne Wheeled Excavator at bauma
Komatsu, a global leader in construction and mining equipment, is gearing up to showcase its latest innovation at bauma 2025.
The all-new 7.5-tonne wheeled excavator is set to bridge the gap between compact and mid-sized models, providing unparalleled versatility, efficiency, and manoeuvrability for urban construction and utility work.
With cutting-edge features and a factory-fitted Lehnhoff Powertilt option, this latest addition to Komatsu’s excavator line-up promises to redefine performance in its category.
A Compact Powerhouse for Urban Construction
Komatsu’s latest 7.5-tonne wheeled excavator is designed to handle the demands of tight urban environments while offering superior digging, lifting, and driving performance. “This new tight-tail excavator fills the gap below the mid-sized wheeled excavators, granting easy and precise operability with any attachments and the best driving experience on the roads,” says Alex Visentin, Product Manager for the new wheeled excavator.
Designed to work in narrow alleys, on road construction sites, and in sewer projects, this machine delivers a perfect blend of power and precision. The swing boom design allows operators to dig parallel to buildings and barriers, while the two-piece boom configuration enhances flexibility with an extended working range.
Performance Meets Efficiency
Komatsu’s new wheeled excavator is packed with features that set it apart in its class.
Operators can expect:
- Low-Emissions Operation – Equipped with a 49 kW Stage V-compliant engine, this machine meets the latest environmental regulations without requiring Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) refills, ensuring lower emissions with minimal hassle.
- Outstanding Manoeuvrability – With an overall max width of just 2080mm, a short tail radius, and four-wheel steering as standard, this excavator boasts the smallest turning radius in its product category.
- Seamless Driving Experience – The hydrostatic (HST) travel system with a single gear ratio eliminates the need for gear changes, even at maximum speed on inclines, allowing operators to focus on the task at hand without interruptions.
- All-Terrain Capability – A 100% differential lock comes as standard, providing exceptional mobility even in muddy or challenging ground conditions.
- Reduced Maintenance Costs – By eliminating the need for an SCR system, Komatsu keeps overall running costs low while maintaining compliance with emissions regulations.
- State-of-the-Art Cab Layout – A new 7-inch monitor and an intuitive slow-speed control system enhance operator comfort and efficiency. Controls for travel direction, undercarriage attachments, and axle locks can be activated directly from the joysticks or dashboard, reducing fatigue and improving precision.
- Class-Leading Working Range – With the widest working diagram in its category, the excavator offers exceptional digging depth, reach, and height. Operators can choose between a mono-boom or two-piece boom configuration, depending on the project’s requirements.
- Enhanced Safety & Versatility – A rear-view camera, multiple tyre options, LED lights, hydraulic quick couplers, and Komatsu Integrated Attachment Control (KIAC) ensure maximum flexibility and safety when switching between attachments.
