The 20 ton forwarder has a number of new features and improvements.
The new 895 will be available from 2017. It is equipped with a larger bunk, where the height and width of the new FlexBunk can be adjusted from the cab. The LoadFlex bunk has also increased in size. The powertrain provides greater traction and the transmission has been upgraded with a larger hydrostatic pump for better handling. The crane is being upgraded with a new hydraulic system and a larger crane valve for improved crane operation.
For the European and North American markets, the 895 is equipped with a new engine installation with an improved cooling system, variable temperature-controlled fan control, and a Tier 4 diesel engine. Emission control is based on SCR technology without the need for exhaust gas recirculation. This, combined with the new hydraulic system, produces lower fuel consumption and a high power output at low engine speeds. The new engine produces even more engine power and torque than the current Komatsu 895. Larger batteries, with the option for battery condition diagnostics via the fleet management system MaxiFleet, ensure the machine starts even on cold mornings.
The forwarder also has a new look and numerous improvements have been made for servicing. The rounded engine hood is electrically powered and can be used as a service platform in the open position. All filters are located beneath the hood, for easy access. There are eight service hatches in the chassis providing good access. A drain valve under the engine makes it easy to replace the engine oil without spillages. There are easily accessible inspection points for oil in the engine, differentials and gearbox.
The cab has also been upgraded. Improved operator protection is provided by a sturdier cab framework and windows secured with bolts to enable simple replacement of worn windows. Some of the other upgraded features include a start button, central locking with a remote control key, additional work lights and MediaZone. The forwarder comes equipped with the MaxiXplorer control system. It will be available with the fully-integrated crane scale Protec Scale, which enables the load to be weighed automatically for production follow-ups and operational monitoring. Production can be monitored remotely through MaxiFleet. Source: http://www.komatsuforest.com/default.aspx?id=1848&newsid=148851
