The entirely new Komatsu D155A-5
carries on the tradition
of excellence established by the highly
regarded D155A-3.
A Komatsu-designed resilient equalized
undercarriage (REU). Unique X-type bogies
provide tremendous traction on uneven ground.
Improves traction component durability and
operator comfort. See page 6.
Wet type multiple-disc
steering clutches/brakes
eliminate both clutch and brake
adjustment for facilitating maintenance.
See page 5.
Modular power train for increased
serviceability and durability. Forward
mounted pivot shafts isolate final drives
from blade loads. See page 8.

controls all blade functions for accurate grading and high
productivity. See pages 4 and 5.

All steering, direction, and speed changes can be made with a single joystick control.
When the operator wants to move the machine forward and to the left, he simply moves the
joystick forward and to the left. When he desires a gear change, he merely twists his wrist.
The machine responds to the movement of the lever, providing the operator with feeling of
natural control with Komatsu joystick.
Low-Noise Design
The engine, power train components, and
control valves are rubber-mounted to the
frame. A low-noise engine used and a
radiator mask which diverts the engine noise.
Engine side covers provide more than style
by damping engine noise.
Easy-to-Operate Work Equipment
Control Lever
●A PPC valve is used with the right joystick
blade control. This improves operator com-
fort because of reduced operating effort
and stroke.
●With the Closed-Center Load Sensing
(CLSS) hydraulic system, blade lever
stroke is directly proportional with blade
speed, regardless of the load and travel
speed. This results in superb, fine controll-
ability.
Hexagonal Pressurized Cab
(Optional)
Air filters and a higher internal air pressure
combine to prevent external dust from enter-
ing the cab. The cab’s hexagonal design pro-
vides excellent front, side, and rear visibility.
The REU and the oil damper mount cab
soften shock for operator comfort and extend
components life.

Wet type multiple-disc steering
clutches/brakes
Wet type multiple-disc type steering clutches are controlled by left hand single-lever joystick.
Steering clutches are spring loaded and hydraulically released, eliminating clutch adjustment
for maintenance-free operation. Wet multiple-disc steering brakes are spring loaded and
hydraulically released, and interconnected with steering clutches for steep turn. Steering
brakes also function as service brakes with pedal operation.

Undercarriage
Advanced Resilient Equalized
Undercarriage (REU)
The Komatsu X-type bogie resilient
equalized undercarriage (REU) performs
independent see-saw movements. Tremen-
dous traction can be achieved even on
uneven ground, because the shoe always
follows the contour of the ground.
Arubber shock absorber is mounted on the
X-type bogie and decreases vibration and
shock. This X-bogie and rubber cushion
provide different absorption characteristics,
depending on the ground surface. When the
machine travels on flat ground, the REU
functions as a conventional rigid under-
carriage. When the machine travels on
uneven ground, the REU maximizes the
suspension effect. The Komatsu REU
system improves traction, component
durability, and operator comfort.
Conventional Undercarriage
There is minimal shoe slippage with the
conventional low drive type undercarriage.
The shoe slip limit has been substantially
raised due to long tracks and large ground
contact area. The large traction force thus
obtained, in combination with high engine
power, results in superb drawbar pull. With
the low center of gravity, dynamic stability
is excellent.

Flexibility
Flexibly grasps ground surface due to Komatsu’s unique track-
roller design for more and better ground contact.
●Independent X-bogies and rubber pads (cushions) are
incorporated into the track rollers.
Powerful Drawbar Pull for All Kinds of Terrain
The X-bogie and rubber pad provide different suspension
characteristics depending on the ground surface. On flat
ground, REU functions as a conventional rigid undercarriage.
On uneven terrain, the REU maximizes the suspension effect
the shoes always follow the contour of the ground, ensuring
a greater actual ground contact for greatly-improved
drawbar pull.
Frame
Flat Bottom Frame
The pivot shafts and monocoque frames prevent mud build-
up. The design facilitates good maneuverability in muddy
conditions and reduces the chance of hanging up on stumps
or boulders.
On flat ground
On uneven ground
Ensures almost the same traction force as
a conventional rigid undercarriage.
Functions as a conventional rigid
undercarriage.
Track frame
Compared with a rigid type, the actual ground contact
area increases and powerful drawbar pull is ensured
because the track shoes follow the contour of the
ground. Large deformation of the rubber pads
contributes to greater suspension effect.
Seesaw movement is performed
corresponding to ground surface.
Comfortable Ride on Uneven Ground Minimum Shock in Riding Over Obstacles
On uneven ground, the rubber pad provides four times the
suspension effect.
When riding over obstacles, the height of the machine fall is low.

STEERING
Joystick controls for all directional movements. Simply tilt the joystick
to the left to make a left turn. Tilt it to the right for a right turn.
Pushing the lever forward results in the machine forwarding, while
pulling it toward the operator reverses the machine. Gear shifting
also possible with the single-steering lever.
Wet, multiple-disc steering are spring-loaded hydraulically released.
Wet, multiple-disc, pedal-controlled service brakes are spring-
actuated and hydraulically released. Gearshift lock lever also applies
