Diesel Forklift Trucks DX50 Series 6.0ton - 8.0ton
Komatsu's Hydraulic System and the NEW Diesel Engine reduce the Fuel Consumption
In order to minimize the engine load, the new DX50 Series adopts the Komatsu's latest hydraulic system. The compact 3.3-liter engine features superior performance and achieves up to 20% less fuel consumption.
Komatsu tested data, comparison with FD70-8. The results may vary depending on conditions.
Komatsu's Latest Hydraulic System Contributes Low Fuel Consumption
The Hydraulic load is automatically detected and only the appropriate amount of oil is supplied via a variable displacement pump. This system eliminates the loss of hydraulic oil and reduces the engine load.
Optimally controlled hydraulic oil results in;
- Optimized balancing of traveling and loading work
- Low fuel consumption with compact engine.
Greatly Reduced Total Operating Costs
The sealed wet disc brakes can withstand about 10,000* hours operation without maintenance and eliminating frequent brake shoes replacements. The engine oil replacement interval has been extended for 300 hours, which reduces oil costs. The reduced maintenance costs and significant fuel saving provide a total operating cost reduction of about 14% over eight years of usage.
*A periodical check and oil replacement are necessary.
Komatsu genuine engine oil is recommended.
Komatsu tested data,
Comparison with FD70-8 model.
Operation hours: 5 h/day,
25 days/month (Total: Approx. 1500 h/year),
Maintenance intervals to manufacturer’s recommendation.
Cost calculation is based on Japanese market price.
The results may vary depending on conditions.
The Advanced Technology offers Reduced CO2 Emissions
The new DX50 Series feature the SAA4D95LE-5-A engine in combination with Komatsu's efficient hydraulic system. This arrangement enables a reduction in annual CO2 emissions by about 7.2 tons.
Komatsu tested data, Comparison with FD70-8 model.
The CO2 emission coefficient is given in the Common Guidelines of the Japanese METI and MLIT (April 2006). The results may vary depending on conditions.
An Advanced Diesel Engine conforms to the Latest Emission Regulations
Low fuel consumption and low environmental impact are enabled by elimination of excess combustion and the use of the combined technologies of the high pressure common rail system, electronic control system, new combustion system and air to air charge air cooling system.
