Komatsu WA320-8 Wheel Loader Price Guide

A broad indicative used-price band for the Komatsu WA320-8, modelled from a sourced new price and HeavyBook’s disclosed wheel loader depreciation curve. It is not verified sold data; age, hours and condition decide where a real machine lands.

This is a broad modelled estimate, not a verified market range. It starts with the sourced indicative new price of $272,636 and applies HeavyBook’s declared depreciation curve for wheel loaders at the reference ages shown above. A real machine can sit outside it because of hours, condition, attachments and location. See the method →

The WA320-8 stands out in its class for a hydrostatic driveline where most rivals run torque-converter powershifts — a real advantage in short-cycle truck loading — and parallel-lift linkage that makes it a genuine dual-purpose fork machine. In Australia it is popular for grain and fertiliser handling, waste and recycling, and general civil work, supported factory-direct through Komatsu's branch network. Factory telematics mean hours and service history can often be verified from Komatsu records — ask for the report on any used unit. The hydrostatic drive eliminates transmission clutch packs but concentrates the inspection on the drive system itself: test for creep, sluggish response or overheating under load, and favour machines with documented driveline servicing.

What a Komatsu WA320-8 is used for

The Komatsu WA320-8 is a hydrostatic mid-size wheel loader — a short-cycle loading machine that doubles as a genuine fork tool-carrier.

  • Short-cycle truck loading
  • Grain, fertiliser and bulk handling
  • Fork work on pallets and bales
  • Waste and recycling duty

What Moves the Price

Adds the most

Coupler + bucket set

A quick-coupler with a GP bucket and forks makes the machine a tool-carrier. Loaders sold with one fixed bucket sit at the bottom of the range.

Clear premium

Low hours, clean history

Hours matter, but application matters more — a farm or council loader at moderate hours outsells a waste-station machine at the same reading.

The known big cost

Tyres

Loader tyres are a four-figure item per corner. Buyers quote worn rubber straight off the price, so tyre condition effectively trades as currency.

Priced off the top

Centre pin & driveline

Play in the articulation joint and slop in the driveline are the expensive fixes. Both get priced before the machine does.

WA320-8 Price FAQ

How much is a used Komatsu WA320-8 worth in Australia?
HeavyBook's indicative used-price estimate spans $62,000–$199,000, with $117,000 as the 8-year mid-life reference. The low and high points use 14-year and 3-year reference ages. This is modelled from a sourced new price and a declared category depreciation curve — not verified sold data. Age, hours, condition, attachments and location can move a real machine outside the band.
Is this estimate based on real sold prices?
No. It is a transparent modelled reference while verified sold-price data is unavailable. HeavyBook keeps it visually separate from market ranges, publishes the assumptions, and never uses it as an offer, valuation or sample-sized market figure.
What is a Komatsu WA320-8 used for?
The Komatsu WA320-8 is a hydrostatic mid-size wheel loader — a short-cycle loading machine that doubles as a genuine fork tool-carrier.
How much does a Komatsu WA320-8 weigh?
The Komatsu WA320-8 has an operating weight of 15,480 kg (general purpose pin-on bucket).
What engine is in a Komatsu WA320-8?
The Komatsu WA320-8 is powered by Komatsu SAA6D107E-3, 123 kW (165 hp) net ISO 9249, 6.69 L.
How much is a new Komatsu WA320-8?
A new Komatsu WA320-8 is around $272,636 ex-GST (Indicative new price for the current Komatsu WA320-8 (3.2m3 bucket, civil spec, delivered), ex-GST — a Komatsu Australia run-out offer.). Used examples list for less; HeavyBook's equipment finance calculator estimates the monthly repayment on either.
What makes one WA320-8 worth more than another?
Attachment spec first — a quick-coupler with bucket and forks widens what the machine can do and who will buy it. Then application history and hours together, tyre condition (the known big cost), and the mechanical state of the centre pin and driveline.

Buying a Komatsu WA320-8

Check it is not encumbered

A search shows whether someone else has registered a security interest over the machine — a financier who can repossess it after you have paid the seller — and whether it has been reported stolen or written off. It does not tell you what is owed, and it is not a valuation.

Wheeled loaders travel at road-going speeds under their own power and generally satisfy the motor-vehicle test. Search by the machine’s serial or chassis number, and search the seller as well if the serial returns nothing.

Search the Personal Property Securities Register. The register publishes a case study on buying heavy construction equipment privately.
