With nearly 100 years of development and technological expertise, the D71-24 is Komatsu’s largest HST supervisor to date. In this category, the new dozer also offers maximum performance and less fuel consumption. A range of standard features including Komatsu Care and Komtrax assistance systems ensure driver safety and comfort, ease of service and low operating costs.
Energy-saving engine
Operating weights of the D71EX-24 / PX-24 range from 22,600 to 24,000 kg with a bucket capacity of up to 5 m3. The fuel-efficient Komatsu engine, which meets Euro V emission limits, delivers 179 kW / 240 hp at 2,100 rpm.
Excellent durability and functionality
The D71-24 is equally adept at precise high-speed ground levelling as it is at rough grading. It is designed to provide excellent durability and functionality, thanks to its high-capacity, wear-resistant plough blade. The dozer’s Parallel Link Undercarriage System (PLUS) incorporates rotating inserts to help minimize maintenance downtime and reduce costs to the machine owner.
Increase productivity and accuracy
The EXi and PXi versions use second-generation intelligent machine control (iMC 2.0), which continuously scans the site and uses the data to plan the next move. The D71-24 represents a huge increase in productivity and accuracy and can operate in automation modes almost continuously. Equipped with one-touch ergonomic controls, it allows any operator to drive like a professional.
Reliability and accuracy
Komatsu’s fully integrated intelligent machine control system now accounts for more than 2 million customer hours of operation on bulldozers in Europe alone. Fully supported by a network of highly experienced Komatsu distributors – experts in technology solutions. This system provides Komatsu customers with field-proven – automated aggregate control, superior levels of quality, reliability, accuracy and performance.
Benoit Raquet, Product Manager at Komatsu Europe said:
“The D71 is an extremely versatile machine that enables our customers to optimise their machinery and maximise its use on-site. The PXi and EXi variants with iMC 2.0 technology provide easily accessible assistance systems. Drivers will certainly want to use them almost all the time when driving the machine to ensure accuracy and productivity in any work activity.”
