Diesel Forklift Trucks DX50 Series 6.0ton - 8.0ton

Function

Superior "Productivity" and "Reliability" satisfy demanding operations

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.

Cooling system

Wet disc brakes

  • Steady breaking is always achieved.
  • Overheating of the brakes is prevented.
  • 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.Cycle time

Lifting speed / Traveling speed

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 as an option.

The 8.0 ton model offers a significant size reduction

TThe 8.0 model features a shorter wheelbase and swift mobility while maintaining the power and speed capable of achieving high productivity. The DX50 8.0 ton model is an ideal choice for confined spaces.

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] The successful high rigidity structure of previous models is adopted.
[Front axle] The proven reliable design of previous models 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 Engine failure indicator

The electronic engine controls upgrade the performance of the engine protection (fail-safe functions).
Trouble diagnosis: Engine malfunctions are automatically detected and an alarm lamp blinks.
Overheating prevention: The engine output and RPMs are reduced when the coolant temperature is high.
Automatic engine warm-up: The RPMs are accelerated to warm up the engine at low temperatures.
Automatic air pre-heating: The engine is automatically pre-heated when starting it at low temperatures.
