New to the Australian market is the latest internal combustion forklift from Komatsu, the CX50 series.
Red Australia national marketing co-ordinator Leonie Laarhoven tells Forkliftaction.com News that the first shipment of stock arrives in November and the company has already sold 15 units to the local market.
According to the local distributor, the new model will save around 8% of fuel costs against current models equipped with a 6D102E-1 engine.
The new forklift is equipped with a wet disc brake system as standard which ensures constant and durable braking performance with minimum maintenance. The brakes are also not affected by dust or water on the operating area.
Ranging from 3.5 to 5 tonne capacity, the forklift’s advanced engine and unique hydraulic system help reduce total operating costs. The energy-efficient hydraulic system technology is based on Komatsu’s experience in products such as hydraulic excavators.
Laarhoven says that with Komatsu’s earthmoving heritage, these durable forklifts are best suited to steel and heavy industries, the timber industry, engineering and transport.
Komatsu’s unique CCLSS (Closed Centre Load Sensing System) features better hydraulic efficiency and fine control to realise lowered fuel consumption and greater productivity.
