Questions we are asked
Questions buyers ask us about this particular Komatsu WA500.
About the Komatsu WA500
Is the Komatsu WA500 worth buying second hand?+
Yes. The WA500 is Komatsu's production loader and it has a long record in quarries worldwide, so mechanics know it and parts move quickly. At 826 hours you are buying almost all of its working life.
What jobs does the Komatsu WA500 handle best?+
Loading rigid trucks in quarries, feeding crushers and moving large volumes of aggregate. It is a production machine rather than a general site loader.
Where do I get spare parts for a Komatsu WA500?+
Komatsu supports the WA500 through a global dealer network and the aftermarket for it is deep, which matters on a production machine where downtime costs real money.
How do I know the hours shown on the Komatsu WA500 is real?+
The meter shows 826 hours. We will photograph it, and on a loader the tyres, the bucket edge and the articulation joint tell you whether that figure is honest.
Can I buy the Komatsu WA500 today?+
Yes, it is standing in Qingdao. Production loaders at this hour count do not sit long, so message us to confirm before you plan freight.
Price and payment
What is the price of this Komatsu WA500?+
USD 51,000 FOB Qingdao, as is. That is a production loader at a fraction of what an equivalent machine would cost you from a dealer.
Why is this Komatsu WA500 priced lower than a dealer machine?+
Because you are buying the machine from the yard that owns it. A dealer would carry showroom and finance costs on a loader this size and pass them to you.
Who receives payment for the Komatsu WA500?+
This loader is held in China, so it is invoiced and paid through Beaumont Investment Group, LLC in the United States, with the terms in writing beforehand.
Do you get Komatsu WA500 machines in often?+
Yes. Production loaders come through our Qingdao yard regularly, so tell us the size and the hour ceiling and we will look for another.
Shipping the Komatsu WA500
What is the best way to ship a Komatsu WA500 overseas?+
A loader this size travels on a bulk vessel or a flat rack, since it cannot be reduced for a container. We confirm the method before quoting.
What will freight on the Komatsu WA500 come to?+
It depends on the port and the sailing, and on a machine this heavy the weight matters as much as the size. Send us the destination and we will price it.
Checking it before you buy
Can you send video of the Komatsu WA500 running?+
Yes. Ask for the bucket edge, the tyres, the articulation joint or the engine bay and we will photograph them, and we can film it loading if that helps.
Can somebody check the Komatsu WA500 on my behalf?+
Yes. Visit Qingdao yourself or send an inspector, and ask them to run the loader through a full cycle rather than just look at it standing still.
Do you have anything similar to the Komatsu WA500?+
If a production loader is more than the work needs, our smaller loaders cost far less to buy and to run. Tell us what you are loading and how much of it.
