McHale Komatsu showcases all new Komatsu HM460-6 articulated dump truck at Hillhead 2026 

Walking around with specialist Pelham Milligan, he highlighted fuel efficiency, safety and operator comfort as key improvements, with a much bigger cab

Key highlights include:

• 22% lower fuel consumption compared with the previous HM460 model.

• A 42-tonne payload capacity, exceeding what many operators might expect from its designation.

• A 12.7-litre six-cylinder Komatsu engine delivering 518hp.

• New front-mounted access stairs are designed to improve safety by avoiding the articulation crush zone.

• Full LED lighting package and HD camera system for enhanced visibility around the machine.

• Hydropneumatic suspension front and rear, providing a smoother ride whether loaded or empty.

• Integrated payload monitoring and telematics connectivity as standard.

• Automated tipping functionality, allowing the operator to raise and lower the body at the touch of a button.

Pelham: “The HM460-6 is 22% better than the previous model, so the cost of ownership is absolutely way down.”
