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 productivity. In addition, limited slip differentials
prevent the tires on either side from slipping on soft ground.
Hydraulically Controlled Wet Multiple-Disc Brakes
and Retarder
Wet multiple-disc brakes with proven performance in larger
articulated and rigid trucks are tailored for use in the HM300.
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):
370 kW 496 HP
Large Capacity Body and Box
Section Frame Structure
The HM300 has the large heaped
capacity of 16.6 m321.7yd3body.
The low loading height of 2790 mm 9’2”
enables easy loading. The body is built
of high strength wear-resistant steel
with a Brinell hardness of 400, and the
body shape provides excellent load sta-
bility. Rugged enough for the toughest
jobs, the HM300’s frame is designed
using a rigid box structure with connect-
ing torque tubes made of 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 ability
to work in tight areas.
Komatsu Designed Electronically Controlled
Countershaft Transmission
The Komatsu designed Electronically Controlled Transmission
called K-ATOMiCS has been a success 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 and maximizes power train life.

The combination of high travel speeds and an efficient engine delivers maximum
productivity at the lowest cost.
Komatsu Technology
Komatsu develops and produces all major components,
such as engines, electronics and hydraulic components,
in house.
With this “Komatsu Technology,” and adding customer
feedback, Komatsu is achieving great advancement
in technology.
To achieve both high levels of productivity and economical
performance, Komatsu has developed the main compo-
nents with a total control system.
The result is a new generation of high performance and
environment friendly machines.
High Performance Komatsu SAA6D125E-5 Engine
Powerful turbocharged and air-to-air aftercooled Komatsu
SAA6D125E-5 engine provides 254 kW 340 HP.
This engine realizes high power in low fuel consumption
with Common Rail Injection system (CRI), and thus
it delivers higher travel speeds with high horsepower.
Also high torque at low speed, impressive acceleration, and
low fuel consumption ensure maximum productivity.
Engine Power Mode Selection System
The system allows selection of the appropriate mode
between two modes <Power mode > or <Economy mode>
according to each working condition. The mode is easily
selected with a switch in the operator’s cab.
Power mode
Great productivity can be attained by taking a full advantage
of high output power. It is appropriate for job sites where
larger production at uphill-hauling is required.
Economy mode
Engine speeds of the maximum output, downshift, and
upshift are set to a lower level. It is appropriate for light
work on the flat ground.

7.96 m 26'1"
Hydro-pneumatic Suspension
Hydro-pneumatic suspension with proven performance in larger articulated and rigid trucks is
tailored for use in the HM300.
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 comfort-
able ride and maximizes productivity.

These structures conform to ISO 3471-1994 standard.
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 is Standard
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
The low effort lever makes dumping easier than ever.
Supplementary Steering and Secondary Brakes
Supplementary steering and secondary brakes are standard
features.

Low-noise Designed Cab
Integrated cab and floor provide airtight cab. Engine room is
also sealed. The low noise and sound insulated muffler
/exhaust pipe contribute to reducing sound levels.
All these together offer a quiet and comfortable operator
environment.
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 window
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.
The front under view mirrors are increased to three from one,
and the rear view mirrors increased to four from two.
Newly employed laminated glass in the windshield assures
safe operation. In addition, electric heated rear window facili-
tates defrosting.
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. This Komatsu
on-board monitoring system 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.

Tiltable Cab
The cab can be tilted rearward 32 degrees to provide easy
maintenance/service for the engine and transmission.
Note: An external hydraulic pump is required to tilt the cab
or a service crane can be used after easily remov-
ing only eight bolts...
The HM300-2R has been designed to keep service time down and productivity up by
reduced number of grease points, easy access to filters, and longer intervals between
oil changes.
Fewer Grease Points
The number of grease points are minimized by using maintenance-free
rubber bushings.
Guards
The following guards are provided as standard:
●Protective grille for rear window
●Engine underguard
●Heavy duty transmission underguard
●Propeller shaft guards
●Exhaust thermal guard
●Fire prevention covers
Extended Service Intervals
In order to minimize operating costs, service intervals have been extended:
●Engine oil 500 hours
●Transmission oil 1000 hours
●Engine oil filter 500 hours
●Transmission oil filters 1000 hours
