Introducing the AM50 Series Electric Forklift, designed to overcome challenges posed by wet and corrosive environments. Unlike some electric forklifts, the nimble yet powerful 3-wheeled AM50 excels in rain, snow, and saltwater conditions. Its battery-powered sustainability, low maintenance design, and exceptional turning ability make it perfect for outdoor tasks that were traditionally handled only by engine-powered models.

Key features include:

  • Excels in wet and corrosive applications, ensuring reliable performance in challenging environmental conditions.
  • Nimble 3-wheel design enhances maneuverability, allowing efficient operation in various spaces.
  • Engine power strength with zero emissions, providing the performance of engine-powered models while prioritizing environmental sustainability.

Product Features and benefits:

Exceptional Durability for Reliable Performance: Ensure exceptional durability and minimize downtime even in harsh conditions with the AM50 series forklifts. These forklifts meet IP-X4 water-resistant standards, featuring airtight wet disc brakes, AC motors eliminating the need for brush/contact checks or replacements, weather-resistant controls, and more.

A Braking System for All Seasons: Experience reliable braking in all seasons with the airtight wet disc brake system. Unlike conventional drum-and-shoe braking systems, Komatsu’s wet disc brake system ensures dependable braking in most working environments, offering durability for up to 10,000 hours with minimal maintenance.

High Performance from Total AC: Achieve high performance with cost-effectiveness using the Total AC system. This system utilizes advanced AC drive motors and an AC hydraulic motor, providing high operating efficiency, long operating life, and extended run times compared to conventional DC-type motors.

More Power for Higher Productivity: Experience enhanced performance in challenging surface conditions with the All-around Dual Drive feature. The two front wheels are driven by independent AC drive motors, delivering power and speed comparable to that of an engine-powered truck.

Nimble Controls for Precision: Achieve efficiency and precision with nimble controllers designed to be light, compact, and user-friendly. These controllers undergo reliability testing and are housed in a compartment that resists dust, water, and other contaminants.

Designed to IPX4 Standards: Versatility meets design standards with forklifts suitable for coolers, freezers, outdoor usage, and safe washdowns. The AM50 models are meticulously designed to meet IP-X4 water-resistant standards, ensuring durability even in challenging environments.
