Introducing the BX50 Series IC Cushion Forklift, blending Komatsu’s extensive engineering expertise in construction equipment with features crafted to enhance operational efficiency and reduce operating costs, thereby adding cycles to every shift.

Key features include:

  • Fuel efficiency for cost reduction, ensuring economical operation and lower overall expenses.
  • A rugged, construction-inspired drivetrain, providing durability and reliability in demanding working conditions.
  • Designed for higher efficiency through improved operator comfort, prioritizing a comfortable working environment for increased productivity and job satisfaction.

Product Features and benefits:

  1. Enhanced Safety with KOPS Plus:
    • Komatsu Operator Presence System (KOPS) Plus, standard with BX50 series, locks out lift, lower, tilt, and travel functions when the operator leaves the seat for more than three seconds.
    • Forks cannot lower while the key is in the off position, ensuring safety for employees and goods.
  2. High-Efficiency Drivetrain:
    • Full floating drivetrain designed for high efficiency.
    • High torque from powerful engines channeled through a heat-dissipating aluminum transmission case.
    • Rugged dust- and leak-resistant, double-seal U-joint design.
  3. Multiple Solutions to Reduce Operator Fatigue:
    • Fully hydrostatic power steering (FHPS) system for easy steering at slow speeds, engineered to eliminate kickback.
    • Small-diameter steering wheel and optional spinner knob for one-handed control.
  4. Advanced Ergonomic Design (Komfort Zone):
    • Dual floating structure in the Komatsu Komfort Zone to improve operator comfort and reduce fatigue.
    • Dampening mounts protect the frame from engine vibration, additional mounts isolate operators from the frame.
    • Sealed floorboard reduces engine noise and heat.
  5. Angled Ports to Manage Exhaust and Dust:
    • Angled exhaust ports in the counterweight direct exhaust away while traveling in reverse.
    • Exhaust vents low on the counterweight point away from the ground, preventing dust stir-up.
  6. Excellent Sightlines Front and Rear:
    • Unrestricted view of fork tips and surroundings for the operator.
    • EZ view mast, console, and low-profile dash designed for outstanding forward visibility.
    • Upper corners of the counterweight are angled for clear sightlines in reverse.
