Product Features and benefits:

Highly Efficient Diesel Technology: The FH family of diesel engines is meticulously designed to reduce fuel consumption and significantly minimize exhaust particulate matter. Leveraging Komatsu’s proprietary technologies, such as the Komatsu Diesel Oxidation Catalyst and variable flow turbocharger, these engines epitomize efficiency.

Eliminating Engine Revving: The FH family introduces a breakthrough in efficiency by featuring a variable displacement pump with a closed-center load sensing system. This innovation allows for controlled fluid flow in the hydraulic system during lifting, eliminating the need for engine revving and resulting in substantial fuel savings.

Lower Operating Costs Design: Benefit from a highly efficient, electronically controlled hydrostatic transmission (HST) hydraulic pump and motor system. This system not only enhances operator control but also minimizes power transmission loss, leading to increased fuel savings and a reduced environmental impact.

Best-in-Class Warranty Assurance: Anticipate years of trouble-free service with the FH family. For added peace of mind, Komatsu provides the industry’s longest and strongest warranty, offering coverage for up to 24 months and unlimited hours, with a 60-month/8,000-hour drive train warranty. Count on us for reliable support.

Fleet Management Technology: Komatsu introduces Komtrax, a proprietary wireless tracking and reporting system designed to streamline fleet management. This system enables your forklift to communicate essential data such as daily usage, fuel consumption, and operator productivity. Access secure usage data conveniently, anytime, anywhere through this easy-to-use, web-based platform.

Exacting Standards in Engineering: Adhering to Komatsu Engineering Standards (KES), our design and manufacturing practices surpass industry requirements. Through KES, we are dedicated to delivering unparalleled quality and durability across all our mining, construction, and forklift machines.
