Features
Dual Floating Structure
The Komatsu Komfort Zone design uses one set of vibration-dampening mounts to separate the forklift’s frame from the engine and transmission. A second set of suspension mounts isolate the operator compartment from the frame. In addition, drive-train design reduces vibration from the differential.
EZ View Mast System
The EZview mast and low-profile dash display gives an unrestricted view of the fork tips and surroundings. In the rear, the upper corner of the counterweight angles sharply to give optimum visibility when moving in reverse.
Fully Hydostatic Power Steering (FHPS)
FHPS system reduces operator fatigue by eliminating kickback and allowing easy steering, even while the forklift is stationary. A small-diameter steering wheel improves operator feel and control.
Angled Exhaust Ports
Angled ports aim hot engine air and exhaust gases away from the operator while traveling in reverse. The lower location of exhaust vents on the counterweight also keeps air away from the floor to avoid stirring up dust.
High Efficiency Drive Train
The new transmission handles the high torque provided by the powerful K21 engine. High-capacity oil cooler protects the torque converter, and an aluminum alloy transmission case improves heat dissipation. O-ring face seals designed for high-temperature, high-speed applications reduce the possibility of leaks in the pump, power steering circuit, and torque converter cooler.
Komatsu Operator Presence System (KOPS)
KOPS Plus locks out lift, lower, tilt and traveling functions when the operator leaves the seat for more than three seconds. They do not resume until the operator returns to the seat and resets the controls. A flashing yellow warning light alerts the operator when the KOPS lock is activated. In addition, the forks cannot be lowered while the key is in the off position.
