Safety & Comfort

Picture of AR50 Komatsu's outstanding design ensures greater safety and work comfort

The Operator Presence Sensing(OPS)system conforms to ISO 3691-1 safety standards, and this ensures that malfunctions do not occur when the operator is not on the floor.

This gives maximum priority to operator safety.

The operator floor has been lowered to reduce fatigue when the operator has to get on and off frequently.

In this spacious design layout, ample head clearance and a round type overhead guard reduce psychological pressure on the operator. A stress-free work environment has been achieved by using a smaller diameter steering wheel, foot pedals requiring minimal actuation pressure and a backlit monitoring system.

The new AR50 series ensures a safe and pleasant work environment.

The Operator Presence Sensing(OPS) system stops travel and lifting when operator is absent

The interlock mechanism conforming to ISO3691-1 safety standards is a standard.

If the operator leaves the forklift, the travel motion slows to forward momentum and then stops and lifting also stops.

This protects the operator from malfunctions and unforeseen accidents.

Travel and lifting are stopped when the operator leaves the compartment


Lower forklift floor height reduces fatigue when getting on and off

The operator floor height has been lowered by 60mm. So, when the operator has to get on and off frequently during work, fatigue is greatly reduced. Head clearance has been increased making the operator's work environment more spacious and pleasant.

Easy-operation design greatly reduces operator's work burden

The steering wheel is inclined to make operation easier, and the compact, small diameter steering wheel reduces operator fatigue. To reduce the burden of applying the footbrake, a frequently repeated action, brake pedal activation pressure has been reduced. Reducing the total burden on the operator has greatly enhanced work performance.


A round type overhead guard creates
a more spacious work environment

A round type overhead guard is employed to give ample space in the operator compartment, and this lessens operator stress.

It ensures a pleasant environment and gives an improved field of view.

The backlit Intelligent Monitoring System(IMS) greatly improves visibility
