Diesel and Gasoline Forklift Trucks CX50 Series 3.5ton - 5.0ton
Durable Wet Disc Brakes to withstand Severe Conditions
The wet disc brake is sealed with oil to block dust penetration, providing durable, water resistant and fade resistant characteristics. Smooth, stable braking provides “Productivity” and “Reliability” in demanding operation.
A Cooling System to achieve Increased Braking Stability
The oil in the wet disc brake system is circulated through the brake oil cooler. This mechanism ensures stable braking under a heavy work load and prevents deterioration of the braking force due to raised oil temperatures.
A Cushion Valve improves the Brake Feeling
Komatsu's unique cushion valve enables a controlled braking force that precisely reflects the pressure on the brake pedal. The braking behavior is thus improved.
- Steady breaking is always achieved.
- Overheating of the brakes is prevented.
- Rough stopping is prevented when braking.
- Downtime and maintenance costs are reduced.
First-class Productivity is achieved
First-class Cycle Time
The diesel models adopt a compact 3.3-liter engine with the advanced CLSS hydraulic system to achieve high productivity and a first class cycle time. The gasoline engine model also achieves a superior cycle.
*Komatsu tested data, Comparison with FD50A-8 model. The results may vary depending on conditions.
The CLSS enables Lifting at Low Engine RPMs
The CLSS makes it possible to lift the load for fine height adjustment without increasing the engine speed.
Reduced engine RPM in the following cases:
- Fine adjustment of fork height
- Lifting fork tips before starting
- Fine adjustment for side shifting
The CLSS enables advantages such as:
- Smooth traveling during hydraulic operation
- Superior productivity is also featured when fitted with attachments
- Fuel consumption reduction up to 20% (Diesel)
Fully Hydrostatic Power Steering for Superb Maneuver
The FHPS (Fully Hydrostatic Power Steering) mechanism facilitates fully stationary steering as well as switchback operations using the small diameter steering wheel. The system has a superior response capability so that the operator can pick up or place cargo flexibly even in a narrow space. In addition, steering knob synchronizer function is available.
The Compact 5.0 ton model
The compact 5.0 ton model features a shorter wheelbase and swift mobility while maintaining the power and speed capable of achieving high productivity.
Excellent Durability for Demanding Work
Rugged Design with High Rigidity
The high rigidity mast, frame, front and rear axles ensure outstanding reliability even when performing heavy-duty work.[Mast] A heavy mast rail profile for excellent rigidity.
[Frame] Increased thickness of the counterweight mounting section.
[Front axle] The proven design of the Komatsu wheel loaders is adopted.
[Rear axle] The durability of the Power Steering cylinders is improved.
Improved Reliabilities for the Hydraulic and Electrical Systems
The main hydraulic pipe connectors are face-sealed using O-rings. Waterproof connectors are provided to the main harnesses and the system controller in order to provide higher resistance to water and dust. Hydraulic and electrical piping systems are in separate configurations to improve the reliability and servicing.Engine Protection for Maintaining the Engine in Top Condition
Trouble diagnosis: Engine malfunctions are automatically detected and an alarm lamp blinks.
Overheating prevention (Diesel): The engine output and RPMs are reduced when the coolant temperature is high.
Automatic engine warm-up (Diesel): The RPMs are accelerated to warm up the engine at low temperatures.
Automatic air pre-heating (Diesel): The engine is automatically pre-heated when starting it at low temperatures.
