Komatsu WA600-8 vs Volvo L350H
The Komatsu WA600-8 is about 6% heavier than the Volvo L350H (56,451 vs 53,150 kg), which usually means more stability and lifting capacity but higher transport weight.
Engine output is effectively the same on both machines.
Beyond the numbers, compare local dealer support, parts availability and resale value for Komatsu and Volvo Construction Equipment in your region: over the life of a machine they often matter more than small specification differences.
