Nearly double the bucket, because bagasse weighs next to nothing
Sugarcane bagasse loader
“The yard loader overheats on bagasse and the bucket barely moves any”
The Komatsu WA320-6 bagasse loader is a factory configuration built for the sugar-mill yard. The standard 2.7 m³ bucket is swapped for a 5.0 m³ toothless one: with material this light, what limits the loader is not its strength but what fits in the bucket, so nearly doubling the bucket nearly doubles what it moves per pass. It also comes ready for bagasse heat and fibre: a raised cyclonic pre-cleaner, a reversible hydraulic fan that clears the radiator and a redesigned airflow so dust does not clog the cooling.

Where it is used
The jobs it solves
- Stacking and loading bagasse in the mill yard
- Feeding boilers and cogeneration conveyors
- Handling light biomass and wood chip
- Harvest season: long shifts in heat and dust
It is a bucket for light material: it is not used for soil or stone, because with heavy material that same volume overloads the machine. If the loader also has to move heavy material, that is solved in the quote — not with a compromise bucket that performs at neither.
It arrives as one machine, with one point of responsibility
A single point of responsibility
The base machine, the special configuration and the commissioning arrive as one machine delivered by the group. No finger-pointing between suppliers when something fails.
Local support for the base machine
It is a Komatsu: parts, workshop and certified technicians in El Salvador, Guatemala, Nicaragua and Panama, with the same KOMTRAX telematics as the rest of the fleet.
Sized against the project
Reach, depth and soil type govern, not a catalog. It is defined in a technical visit and quoted against the real job, not against a list of options.

The machine that doesn't move
Tell us the job, not the machine
What has to be moved, at what depth, over what ground and for how long. With that we define the base machine and the configuration, and the proposal comes back against the real job.
