Komatsu is one of the most famous manufacturers of special equipment in the world. Japan for 100 years of work has not lost the trust of the consumer, which indicates the high quality of products. And Komatsu forklifts are a vivid confirmation of this. Some of these forklifts have been serving production since the 60s of the last century. In the lineup of Komatsu forklifts there are machines with diesel, gasoline and electric engines. Here we will look at forklifts with a 5 ton capacity.
The working body, the mast, is lifted by hydraulic cylinders. But the carriage rises faster. The speed of the mast lift is set by a variable speed pump that regulates the oil supply. The amount of water is automatically adjusted to the specific task, so there is no overconsumption. Two levers located in the operator's cab control the mast. The view from the driver's seat is 360 degrees. The Komatsu forklift allows you to view the work area from the front and rear. Belt, armrests and the ability to adjust the seat to the anthropometry of the worker ensure operator safety. Komatsu makes sure that forklift engines have the lowest emissions possible, even if they are gasoline or diesel models. The proprietary engines meet European environmental safety standards and also eliminate fuel overconsumption. Komatsu forklifts are usually equipped with maintenance-free brakes. Immersed in an oil bath disks have high durability and provide smooth braking forklift. The electronic system of modern units is equipped with an option to monitor the condition of the loader. Its purpose is to find hidden faults, avoid breakdowns and accidents, and ensure the accuracy of loading operations.
The first five-ton is the gasoline-powered Komatsu FG50AT-10 loader. In terms of controllability at maximum load, it surpasses electric and diesel counterparts. Suspended cab has the ability to reduce vibrations when moving.
Key Features:
Next, consider the Komatsu FD50AYT-10 and FH50-1 diesel loaders. Differences in technical characteristics depend on the design. In addition, the FH series models use electronically controlled hydrostatic drive. The FD has a traditional scheme with a torque converter. Komatsu FH50-1 lift truck is easy to drive, because to change direction, you do not need to release the gas pedal. If the operator releases the throttle, the self-braking function is activated, which prevents the truck from rolling backwards when stopped on an incline.
Speed changes are smooth, so the chance of the load tipping over is minimized. Polluting emissions are minimized and the diesel engine meets EPA Tier 4 Interim standards. The FH50-1 has a Komtrax monitoring system that tracks the machine's location and provides access to its operating parameters.
The main characteristics of diesel loader Komatsu FH50-1:
The Komatsu FD50AYT-10 forklift combines high productivity, fuel efficiency and low emissions.
Suitable for heavy duty operation. The hydraulic system of the loader is recreated according to the excavator system and is characterized by high quality and reliability.
Technical characteristics of the unit:
On each Komatsu five-tonner, the mast can be lowered to an angle of up to 12 degrees. This option makes it easier to position loads on racks. The turning radius does not exceed 3 meters, which allows the loaders to confidently work in a limited space. Komatsu - not the cheapest, but reliable and high-quality loader. Japanese units have a high operating time per failure. Often organizations purchase used equipment that has served for decades. If a company is engaged in loading/unloading batches weighing up to 5 tons, it should pay attention to the above equipment.
