Hyundai HL960A vs Komatsu WA380-8

The Hyundai HL960A is about 3% heavier than the Komatsu WA380-8 (18,500 vs 18,000 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.

Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Hyundai and Komatsu in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
