IC pneumatic forklift

FH35/50-2

  • Tire type Pneumatic Pneumatic
  • Power type Diesel Diesel
  • Capacity 3 625 - 4 975 kg 8,000 - 11,000 lbs.

Construction strong

Are you burning out your forklift fleet by constantly shuttling 8k-11k loads? Maybe you need forklifts designed to handle such heavy duty with ease. The FH series integrates components and technology proven over many years in Komatsu’s wheel loaders, bulldozers and excavators, so you know they’re built tough. The hydrostatic drive system gives them the ability to cycle through operations with virtually no wear on drive and brake components, meaning more uptime and lower cost of ownership than traditional torque converter systems, even in the most demanding applications.

  • Reduced fuel consumption while reducing particulate exhaust by 90%
  • Lower total cost of ownership
  • Less maintenance and higher productivity with Hydrostatic Drive

Features and benefits

Forklift_literature link_FH35-50_engine_CMYK.psd

Highly efficient proprietary diesel technology

The FH family diesel engines are EPA certified Tier 4 Final, designed to reduce fuel use and significantly reduce exhaust particulate matter. They incorporate Komatsu proprietary technologies like Komatsu Diesel Oxidation Catalyst, variable flow turbocharger and much more.
Forklift_Literature link_revving unnecessary_Asset 1_CLSS_FH50_e.eps

Makes engine revving unnecessary

Featuring a variable displacement pump with closed-center load sensing system, the FH family allows for controlled fluid flow in the hydraulic system while lifting, resulting in no engine revving and reduced fuel consumption.
Forklift_Literature link_lower operating costs_Asset 1_HST_FH50_e.eps

Designed to lower operating costs

The highly efficient, electronically controlled hydrostatic transmission (HST) hydraulic pump and motor system increases operator control, minimizes power transmission loss, boosts fuel savings and reduces environmental impact.
