Verified specifications
Values are manufacturer-published or faithfully converted from the cited manufacturer record. Manufacturer-published dual units are retained where available, and the basis column travels with every value.| Specification | Metric | Imperial | Standard / configuration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net engine power | 143 kW | 191 hp | ISO 9249 / SAE J1349 · At 2,100 rpm |
| Operating-weight range | 18,385–19,020 kg | 40,532–41,932 lb | Published configuration range |
| Bucket-capacity range | 2.7–3.3 m³ | 3.5–4.3 yd³ | Published range |
What the specifications mean
The range is appropriate for research but not a final haul quote.
Bucket capacity must be reconciled with material density and target truck.
Net output is published to ISO 9249 / SAE J1349 and must not collapse into the Cat 950 ISO 14396 engine-power row.
Configurations and options to verify
- Bucket and tire selection determine where the machine falls in the published range.
- Coupler, guarding and application packages require machine-level confirmation.
- Check installed payload and telematics systems separately from mechanical condition.
Used WA380-8 inspection priorities
- Check centre articulation, steering cylinders, oscillation points and driveline play.
- Inspect matched tire size, type, cuts and remaining tread; price a complete set where mixing is unsuitable.
- Load the hydraulics and inspect lift-arm, bucket, bellcrank and coupler pins.
- Review transmission, axle, brake, cooling and emissions-system service records.
Hours, condition and ownership cost
Hours are context, not a condition grade. Duty cycle, idle time, maintenance evidence, wear-system measurements, structural repairs and installed technology should be evaluated together.
Cost drivers to model
- Tires, fuel, bucket wear and production cycle drive cost more than age alone.
- High-lift arms, couplers, guarding and application packages can change both value and repair exposure.
- Model payload by material density and avoid assuming the largest bucket is the most productive.
Attachments and compatibility
- Confirm coupler interface and hydraulic controls for buckets, forks, grapples and snow tools.
- Recalculate payload and stability for attachment weight and load centre.
- Use material density and bucket fill—not nominal capacity alone—to plan loading.
Transport planning
- Record weight and dimensions with the actual tires, lift arm, coupler and bucket.
- State whether the bucket or other tools will be removed and carried separately.
