Komatsu Designed Differential
Locking Systems
The full-time six-wheel drive system
reduces slippage. A wet multiple-disk
interaxle clutch also locks the three axles
in unison for greater traction. The interaxle
lock can be switched on and off while the
truck is travelling, thereby boosting productiv-
ity. In addition, limited slip differentials pre-
vent the tires on either side from slipping on
soft ground.
Hydraulically Controlled Wet Multiple-Disc Brakes
and Retarder
Wet multiple-disc brakes have been proven on Komatsu
dump trucks and wheel loaders ensuring highly
reliable and stable brake performance. The large-capacity,
continuously cooled,wet-multiple disc brakes also function as
a highly responsive retarder which gives the operator greater
confidence at higher speeds when travelling downhill.
Retarder Absorbing Capacity (continuous descent):
349 kW 468 HP
449 kW 602 HP (with optional exhaust retarder)
Large Capacity Body and Box
Section Frame Structure
The 16.6 m321.7 yd3heaped capacity
is among the highest in its class. The
low loading height of 2790 mm 9'2"
enables easy loading. The body is built
of thick wear-resistant steel with a
Brinell hardness of 400, and the body
shape provides excellent load stability.
Rugged enough for the toughest jobs,
the HM300’s frame is designed using
a rigid box structure with high strength
low alloy steel.
Articulated Steering
Fully hydraulic articulated
steering offers low-effort
operating performance and
maneuverability. A mini-
mum turning radius of only
7.96 m 26'1” provides the free-
dom to move about in confined
areas.
Komatsu Designed Electronically Controlled
Countershaft Transmission
The Komatsu designed Electronically Controlled Transmission
called K-ATOMiCS has been successfully employed in
Komatsu’s rigid dump trucks. The electronic clutch modulation
system ensures proper clutch pressure when the clutch is
engaged. The total control system controls both the engine and
transmission by monitoring the vehicle conditions. This high
technology system assures smooth shifts without shock.

High Performance SAA6D125E-3 Komatsu Engine
This engine delivers faster acceleration and higher
travel speeds with the highest horsepower per ton in its
class. Advanced technology, such as Common Rail Injection
system (CRI), air to air aftercooler, and an efficient turbo-
charger enables the engine to suit low emission.
High torque at low speed, impressive acceleration, and low
fuel consumption ensures maximum productivity.

Hydro-pneumatic Suspension
The hydro-pneumatic suspension has been proven on
Komatsu’s rigid dump trucks. The front axle hydro-pneumatic
suspension employs "De Dion" type design, allowing the
machine to ride more smoothly over
bumps. The rear-axles are mounted on a
dynamic equalizer structure equipped with
hydro-pneumatic suspension. The entire
vehicle’s suspension delivers a comfortable
ride and maximizes productivity.

Built-in ROPS/FOPS
These structures conform to ISO 3471 and SAE J1040-1988C
standards.
Hydro-pneumatic Suspension for all Terrains
The hydro-pneumatic suspension assures a comfortable ride
even over rough terrain and ensures maximum productivity
and operator confidence.
Viscous Cab Mounts
Viscous mounts reduce the noise transmitted to the cab and
achieve a quiet 76 dB(A) noise level
Air Suspension Seat
The air suspension, fabric-covered seat which is adjustable
to the operator’s weight is provided as standard. The air
suspension seat dampens vibrations transmitted from the
machine and reduces operator fatigue as well as holding the
operator securely to assure confident operation.
Electric Body Dump Control Lever
The low effort lever makes dumping easier than ever.
Supplementary Steering and Secondary Brakes
Supplementary steering and secondary brakes are standard
features.

Wide, Spacious Cab with Excellent Visibility
The wide cab provides a comfortable space for the operator
and a full size buddy seat. Large electrically operated windows
and the operator’s seat positioned to the left side ensures
superior visibility.
Ergonomically Designed Cab
The ergonomically designed operator’s compartment makes
it very easy and comfortable for the operator to use all the
controls. The result is more confident operation by operators
and greater productivity.
Easy-to-See Instrument Panel
The instrument panel makes it easy to monitor critical
machine functions. In addition, a caution light warns the
operator of any problems that may occur. Problems are
recorded in the monitor and indicated as service codes.
This makes the machine very friendly and easy to service.
Steering Wheel and Pedals
Low effort pedals reduce operator fatigue when working
continuously for long periods. The tiltable, telescoping steering
column enables operators to maintain the optimum driving
position at all times.
Komatsu has developed a state-of-the-art, wide comfortable cab. The low level of
vibration and noise ensure maximum productivity from the operator.
