The BX50 Series IC pneumatic forklift merges Komatsu’s extensive experience in robust engineering for construction equipment with features aimed at enhancing efficiency and minimizing operator fatigue.

  • Fuel Efficiency for Cost Savings: The forklift is designed for fuel efficiency, contributing to cost reduction in operations.
  • Rugged, Construction-Inspired Drive Train: It features a robust drive train inspired by construction equipment, ensuring durability and reliable performance.
  • Designed for Higher Efficiency through Improved Operator Comfort: The forklift is crafted with a focus on enhanced operator comfort, aiming to improve overall efficiency in handling tasks while reducing operator fatigue.

Product Features and benefits:

Enhanced Safety for Employees and Goods: The Komatsu Operator Presence System (KOPS) Plus, included as a standard feature in the BX50 series, automatically locks out lift, lower, tilt, and travel functions when the operator leaves the seat for more than three seconds. Additionally, the forks cannot lower while the key is in the off position.

High-Efficiency Drivetrain: Our construction expertise is evident in the BX50’s full floating drivetrain. High torque, delivered by powerful engines, is efficiently channeled through a heat-dissipating aluminum transmission case and a robust, dust- and leak-resistant, double-seal U-joint design.

Multiple Solutions to Reduce Operator Fatigue: The fully hydrostatic power steering (FHPS) system provides easy steering even at slow speeds, engineered to eliminate kickback. Further enhancing operator comfort are a small-diameter steering wheel and an optional spinner knob for one-handed control.

Advanced Ergonomic Design: Designed to enhance operator comfort and reduce fatigue, the Komatsu Komfort Zone is a dual floating structure: dampening mounts protect the frame from engine vibration, while additional mounts isolate operators from the frame. A sealed floorboard reduces engine noise and heat.

Angled Ports to Manage Exhaust and Dust: To address the impact of hot engine air, dust, and exhaust on operators, the BX50 series incorporates angled exhaust ports in the counterweight. These ports direct exhaust away while traveling in reverse, and vents low on the counterweight point away from the ground to prevent dust disturbance.

Excellent Sightlines Front and Rear: Operators enjoy an unrestricted view of fork tips and surroundings. The thoughtfully designed EZ view mast, console, and low-profile dash provide outstanding forward visibility. The upper corners of the counterweight are angled to ensure clear sightlines in reverse.
