Komatsu HD465 Haul Truck Review: Build a Smarter Haulage Plan

Your next haul truck should fit every stage of the job: load, travel and tip. This used Komatsu HD465 offer gives quarry and mining buyers a specific machine to explore, with seller photographs and a clear starting point for a fleet enquiry.

Everglory International Group advertises a 2017 Komatsu HD465 in Hangzhou, China, at an asking price of US$194,000. The listing states a 55-tonne load capacity and 24 m³ body volume. Confirm these figures, current availability and the complete supplied configuration directly with the seller.

Review method: a desk-based assessment of Machineryline YN52796, seller photographs and Komatsu’s HD465-7R reference brochure. We have not operated or independently inspected the truck. The offer identifies HD465 without a verified series suffix; manufacturer reference figures below are not assigned to this unit.

Komatsu HD465 offer at a glance

The seller describes the truck as operational and serviced. Request current inspection records, service history, a readable hour-meter photograph and a dated demonstration of the actual machine to support your assessment.

Why consider a rigid haul truck for your site?

Bulk-material transport works best when the truck and loading equipment are considered together. A loader or excavator fills the body; the truck follows a defined haul route; and the material is discharged in a prepared area. The right purchase starts with those three stages.

The supplied photographs show a rigid-frame haul truck with an elevated cab, large tyres and rear dump body. For a quarry, mine or earthmoving project, these views help frame a practical conversation about aggregate, ore or overburden movement within the truck’s confirmed limits.

Match the payload to your material

The seller’s 55-tonne figure concerns mass, while its 24 m³ figure concerns volume. Material density determines how those figures relate to a particular load. Ask the seller for the actual body specification, payload documentation and any details of liners or modifications.

Provide your loading-machine model, bucket size and material density with the enquiry. That information helps establish a proposed loading sequence and whether the receiving height and body arrangement suit the equipment already on site.

Match the truck to the complete haul route

A useful fleet brief includes haul distance, gradients, road surface, turning space and tipping-area layout. Request dimensions, turning envelope, clearances and applicable operating documentation for the exact serial number.

Transport planning also needs its own confirmed mass and dimensions. Ask whether the quoted shipping configuration requires component removal, and who arranges collection, freight, unloading and reassembly at your destination.

Manufacturer reference: what the HD465-7R brochure documents

Komatsu’s HD465-7R brochure CEN00178-05 specifies a SAA6D170E-5 engine with 533 kW net and 551 kW gross power, a seven-speed automatic K-ATOMiCS transmission, and Power and Economy modes.

Its reference capacity is 55 metric tonnes, with a 34.2 m³ heaped body measured at 2:1 SAE. The seller’s 24 m³ entry does not state its measurement basis. Ask the supplier to identify the offered body and how its volume was measured.

The brochure also describes Automatic Retard Speed Control, wet multidisc brakes and retarder, a built-in ROPS/FOPS cab, supplementary steering and secondary braking. Payload metering, ABS, ASR traction control and a rear-view camera appear as options.

These are HD465-7R reference features, rather than verified equipment on YN52796. Request the complete model suffix, serial plate, fitted-system list and applicable manual. Then have competent personnel confirm the configuration and condition during inspection.

Actual front and access details

The front photograph shows the cab position, grille, steps and railings. Ask for additional cab photographs showing the controls, monitor, restraint, mirrors and any fitted cameras. Include safe access, visibility and emergency-system checks in the inspection and handover.

Watch a separate HD465-7 walkaround

Watch granitedude333’s “Komatsu HD465-7 Walk Around”. This independent video describes a separate 2010 HD465-7. It offers general visual context, not a demonstration of YN52796, confirmation of its configuration or operating instruction. Request a current seller video of the exact advertised truck.

Buying checks that make the quotation useful

Send the supplier a concise work brief and ask for evidence tied to the specific machine. A complete response makes it easier to compare the offered package with your project requirements.

• Identity: full model suffix, serial and engine plates, manufacture-date confirmation and ownership documentation.
• Hours and service: current hour-meter image, maintenance records and available component-repair history.
• Working specification: applicable payload, body volume and measurement basis, operating mass, dimensions and loading/tipping clearances.
• Condition: competent inspection of engine, cooling system, transmission, brakes, steering, suspension, tyres, frame, body and hoist.
• Handover: fitted safety-system demonstrations, applicable manuals, operator familiarisation and parts/support arrangements.
• Commercial scope: current price, included preparation, inspection access, collection location, freight terms and complete delivered cost.

Plan the worksite and handover

HSE’s quarry guidance addresses brake testing, inspection and maintenance, together with vehicle suitability, road widths, visibility, reversing and edge protection. Use these subjects when developing your site assessment with competent personnel.

Evaluate loading and discharge areas, gradients, traffic routes and pedestrian separation for the confirmed truck. Arrange trained, authorised operators and follow the applicable machine manual. Inspection and maintenance planning should form part of the purchase and entry-into-service process.

Our view: turn the listing into a practical fleet proposal

The advertised HD465 gives buyers a defined offer to investigate: a seller-listed 2017 truck, actual photographs and an asking price. The next useful step is to connect that offer to your loading equipment, material and haul route.

Confirm the series suffix, engine, body, payload and condition, then obtain a written quotation identifying the supplied package and delivery responsibilities. Those details support an informed purchasing decision and a planned handover.
