#1
               

Overview: Strength Meets Precision
The Komatsu D155AX-6 stands out as a heavy-duty crawler dozer designed for ambitious earthmoving tasks. Here’s what makes it a standout machine:
• Engine: The Komatsu SAA6D140E-5 diesel engine delivers a robust 354 hp (264 kW) at 1,900 rpm—a Tier 3 compliant, turbocharged, after-cooled powerhouse.
• Productivity: With a Sigmadozer blade offering approximately 12.3 cubic yards of capacity, it leads in effective material movement.
• Weight & Size: Weighing in at roughly 87,100 lb (39.5 t), the machine maintains a balance between bulk and maneuverability.
• Transmission: The automatic TORQFLOW transmission features a lock-up torque converter—enhancing fuel efficiency and seamless power delivery.
• Smart Control: Equipped with Komtrax wireless monitoring, joystick controls, and an expanded cab display, the machine blends comfort with intelligent diagnostics.
Technical Insights: Powertrain and Control Systems
Sigmadozer Blade: Engineered with a new digging theory, the Sigmadozer maximizes penetration, minimizing side sway to ensure stable cutting performance.
TORQFLOW Transmission: Water-cooled, single-stage torque converter with planetary gears delivers strong traction and responsive shifting, optimizing heat management.
Komtrax System: Remote monitoring enhances uptime by enabling real-time diagnostics, theft prevention, and proactive maintenance.
Operator Comfort: Joystick control ergonomics and cab visibility reduce fatigue; automatic shifting offers efficient adaptability.
Maintenance & Reliability
Maintenance procedures follow rigorous scheduling and safety measures:
• Detailed maintenance schedules covering filters, belts, hydraulics, radiator, and more must be adhered to—supported by tool-aligned safety practices.
• Shop manuals define safe procedures across engine, powertrain, electrical and hydraulic systems, including torque specifications and lubrication points.
• Worker safety is prioritized, with specific guidelines for tasks like pressure relief, lifting, disassembly, and valve adjustments.
Stories from the Field
A recent sale of a 2007 D155AX-6 to an Irish contractor illustrates the machine’s reputation: prized for its durability, productivity, and maneuverability, it became a reliable asset out in the field.
In comparative studies, the D155AX-6 outperformed competitors like the Cat D8 in blade capacity—12.3 yd³ versus 11.4 yd³—highlighting its material-moving superiority.
Specifications at a Glance (as a concise list)
• Engine power: 354 hp (264 kW), Tier 3 Komatsu SAA6D140E‑5
• Operating weight: ~87,100 lb (39.5 t)
• Blade capacity: ~12.3 yd³ (Sigmadozer)
• Transmission: Automatic TORQFLOW with lock-up torque converter
• Driver interface: Joystick controls, smart LCD, Komtrax monitoring
Why the D155AX‑6 Matters
This machine blends heavy-duty performance with efficiency and sophistication.
