Transmission resource
Modern Komatsu loaders use an electro-hydraulic transmission system that allows you to switch between two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The gearbox is operated via a controlled reverse switch (PowerShuttle) and a torque converter.
A hydrostatic transmission is a complex device, but much more reliable than a pump. In difficult conditions, a hydromechanical loader works without problems, while a hydrostatic one tends to break down quickly. For example, when working on a surface consisting of hot slag, the travel motor can ignite along with flammable liquids passing through it. And when used in cold conditions, a hydromechanical excavator requires less time to warm up and prepare for operation, and can easily withstand temporary stops.
