Komatsu's Operator Presence System (KOPS) locks out lift, lower, tilt, and travel functions when the operator leaves the seat for more than three seconds. Also, the forks cannot lower while the key is in the off position enhancing safety.
Komatsu forklifts have a high-efficiency drivetrain. High torque delivered by powerful engines is channeled through a heat dissipating aluminum transmission case with a rugged, dust-and leak-resistant, double-seal U-joint design.
A fully hydrostatic power steering system provides easy steering, even at slow speeds, and is engineered to eliminate kickback. A small-diameter steering wheel and optional spinner knob for one-handed control make operation smooth and nearly effortless.
The Komatsu Komfort Zone is designed to improve operator comfort and reduce fatigue. Dampening mounts protect the frame from engine vibration while additional mounts isolate operators from the frame. A sealed floorboard reduces engine noise and heat.
Hot engine air, dust and exhaust can affect operators over time. The BX50 series’ angled exhaust ports in the counterweight aim exhaust away while traveling in reverse. Exhaust vents low on the counterweight point away from the ground and don’t stir up dust.
The thoughtfully designed EZ view mast, console and low-profile dash provide outstanding forward visibility, including a clear view of the fork tips and surroundings. The upper corners of the counterweight are angled for clear sightlines in reverse
Enhance your operation with high-quality, durable, powerful Komatsu forklifts. A long history of rigorous engineering in construction equipment combined with features designed to increase efficiency and reduce operator fatigue means you can get the job done with lower costs, day-after-day.
