Hydro-Pneumatic Trailing Arm Suspension

The hydro-pneumatic suspension has been proven on
Komatsu’s rigid dump trucks. The front axle hydro-pneu-
matic suspension employs a "De Dion" type design. The
suspension is a trailing arm design which allows the truck
to ride smoothly. The rear-axles are mounted on a dynamic
equalizer structure equipped with hydro-pneumatic
suspension. The entire vehicle’s hydro-pneumatic
suspension delivers a comfortable ride and maximizes
productivity.

Large Capacity Body and Box

Section Frame Structure
The 22.3 m3 29.2yd3 heaped capacity body is among the
highest capacity in its class. The low loading height of
2970 mm 9'9" 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 stabili-
ty and retains the load. Rugged enough for the toughest
jobs, the HM400’s frame is designed using a rigid box
structure with connecting torque tubes made of high
strength low alloy steel.

Articulated Steering
Fully hydraulic articulated steering offers low-effort operat-
ing performance and maneuverability. A minimum turning
radius of only 8.7 m 28'7" provides ability
to work in tight areas.

Hydraulically Controlled Wet Multiple-Disc

Brakes and Retarder 8.7 m 28'7"

Wet multiple-disk brakes have been proven on Komatsu 4.17 m 13'8"

dump trucks and wheel loaders ensuring highly reliable
and stable brake performance. The large-capacity, continu-
ously cooled,wet-multiple disc brakes also function as a
highly responsive retarder which gives the operator greater
confidence at higher speeds when travelling downhill.

EASY MAINTENANCE
The Komatsu cab is a state-of-the-art, wide comfortable cab. The low level of
vibration and noise, plus the excellent visibility, ensure maximum productivity
from the operator.

Low-noise Designed Cab

Integrated cab and floor provide an airtight cab. Engine
compartment is also sealed. The low noise and sound
insulated muffler/exhaust pipe contribute to reducing sound
levels. The combined features 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
windows 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 for greater productivity.

EASY MAINTENANCE
The HM400-2 has been designed to keep service time down and productivity up with
a reduced number of grease points, easy access to filters, and longer intervals
between oil changes.

Tiltable Cab
The cab can be tilted rearward 32° 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 removing
only eight bolts. The hydraulic cylinder to tilt the cab
is standard.

Fewer Grease Points

The number of grease points are minimized by using
maintenance-free rubber bushings.
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

Guards
The following guards are provided
as standard:
● Protective grille for rear window
● Engine underguard
● Heavy duty transmission

● Propeller shaft guards
● Exhaust thermal guard
● Fire prevention covers
● Rear tire guard
