Contact usGreat design starts on the smallest level and with the Komatsu BX50, including the Komatsu FG25 and Komatsu FG30 models, no detail has been overlooked. Building on our 80-year history of superior engineering, the BX50 delivers improved performance and unbeatable strength for your most demanding applications.
The Komatsu BX50 forklift series offers optimum lubrication intervals and simple maintenance for greater efficiency.
The tandem pump operates the power steering and the lifting equipment independently. Komatsu’s hydraulic technology lifts the cargo at about double the lift speed of the previous model when idling. The truck also features fine adjustments for the fork position and superior operability of attachments when idling. The reduces the need to rev the engine when lifting which reduced fuel comsumption.
The BX series is designed with a frame structure and changes to the mast to improve durability. The heavy-gauge steel frame, front axle and heavy front fender connect to deliver high strength—critical for high lifting and heavy loads.
The Komatsu Komfort Zone design uses a dual floating structure that protects operators. One set of vibration-dampening mounts 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 transmitted from the differential. The combined technology of both of these Komatsu designed systems further reduce the vibrations transferred to the mast, fork, steering wheel and control lever, as well as the operator's seat. Therefore, ultimately improving operator comfort and cargo safety.
Komatsu Operator Presence System (KOPS) – standard on the BX50 – 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.
The FG25NT-17 & FG30NT-17 provide maximum lifting capacity in a small compact chassis size. Ideal for tight indoor spaces.
