Covington, GA - March, 2006 – Komatsu Forklift U.S.A., Inc. introduces its new internal combustion engine powered model BX50. New capacity models at 5500, 6500, and 7000 pounds combine with traditional 4000, 5000, and 6000 lb. models to let you choose exactly the right capacity to get your job done with maximum economy and efficiency.
The advanced EZlift hydraulic system enables lifting operation without accelerating the engine, for more control in tight areas. “The new EZlift hydraulic system will increase fuel efficiency, an important element with today’s rising fuel prices”, says Eric Kobori, Vice President of Sales & Marketing for KFI.
The new Komatsu forklifts focus on sharp styling with maneuverability, low center of gravity and dynamism. The new Komatsu cabin design emphasizes comfort by isolating the operator compartment on hydraulic cushioning mounts. This dual floating structure reduces vibration providing a smoother ride. The redesigned counter weight and consol maximizes visibility to the front and rear. Wide-open steps make getting in and out easy. The tilt cylinders are mounted under the floor giving ample space for operator’s feet and legs.
The Komatsu Operator Presence System Plus is now standard on all BX50 models. This system locks travel and hydraulic lift movement if the operator leaves the seat.
