With an electronically controlled transmission, a single lever mounted to the steering column of Dressta's E-Series wheel loaders replaces two shift levers used in previous models. Dressta also did away with the links and levers in the steering system by mounting the hydraulic steering valve directly on the steering column. A single, pilot-hydraulic joystick controls the loader and bucket.

100- to 200-hp models: 6

New models: 510E, 515E and 520E

Product-line features: In 1999, the Dressta trademark replaced the Dresser name that had been part of Komatsu. The product line had roots with International Harvester, and some of the manufacturing had been licensed to Polish company Huta Stalowa Wola since 1972. The Dressta brand is based on those licensed technologies.
