Engineered for utmost durability and reliability
Features and benefits
Enhanced safety for employees and goods
The Komatsu Operator Presence System (KOPS) Plus, standard with AX50 series, locks out lift, lower, tilt and travel functions when the operator leaves the seat for more than three seconds. The forks cannot lower while the key is in the off position.
High-efficiency drivetrain
Our expertise in construction is behind the AX50’s full floating drivetrain. High torque delivered by a powerful engine is channeled through a heat dissipating aluminum transmission case and a rugged dust- and leak-resistant, double-seal U-joint design.
Multiple solutions to reduce operator fatigue
The fully hydrostatic power steering (FHPS) system offers you easy steering even at slow speeds and is engineered to eliminate kickback. Further improving operator feel are a small-diameter steering wheel and optional spinner knob for one-handed control.
Advanced ergonomic design
Designed to improve operator comfort and reduce fatigue, the Komatsu Komfort Zone is a dual floating structure: dampening mounts protect the frame from engine vibration; additional mounts isolate your operators from the frame. Sealed floorboard reduces engine noise and heat.
