The D155AX-8 LGP is enhanced with two blade options and more track on the ground.
​With 12% wider track gauge, 9% longer track on ground and 47% lower ground pressure than the standard model, the D155AX-8 LGP offers improved performance, floatation and stability. Compared to the standard model, the D155AX-8 LGP’s newly designed 8-roller undercarriage provides greater traction and optimum balance, while significantly reducing ground pressure. It can be equipped with either a large capacity semi-u blade or an angle blade to move large amounts of material, while the wider cutting edge reduces the number of passes needed when grading.
When equipped with 38” (965mm) extreme service shoes, angle blade, and towing winch, the D155AX-8 LGP is claimed to have a higher operating weight compared to competitors for increased useable drawbar pull with a powerful towing winch. For applications that don’t require an angle blade, higher capacity bushed semi-u dual tilt and pitch semi-u blades are available.
Despite its heavier weight, the D155AX-8 LGP’s longer and wider track maintains a low ground pressure of only 7.7 psi (53 KPa). The ground contact area is increased by 72% from the standard model for improved floatation in soft ground, and the long and wide undercarriage provides better stability on slopes and machine balance. The eight fixed mounted track rollers per side distribute the machine weight.
The ROPS cab provides nearly unobstructed visibility to both sides of the machine and there are no external ROPS posts to block the operator's view. Komatsu’s ergonomically designed Palm Command Control System (PCCS) gives operators maximum control, offering a relaxed posture and superb fine control. Optional rear attachments include a counterweight with rigid drawbar (3568 kg/7,860 lbs.), a hydraulic winch and long drawbar. Source
