FB14-12 Komatsu electric forklift specs & dimensions (2019 - 2026)

Superior Reliability

By making the controller system lighter, more simple and compact than ever, Komatsu consistently seeks for the best design to eliminate possible troubles. We conduct a series of thorough tests for water resistance and circuit reliability in order to ensure the highest standard. The controller is stored within tightly closed containers. Komatsu also places a strong emphasis on designing the controller system layout that keeps the water and dust out from the important parts of the truck.

Excellent Maintenance Characteristics

The AE50/AM50 Series adopts the dumper-assisted battery hood, which makes the battery checkups smoother and easier. Moreover, the Komatsu’s original self-diagnostic system run by standard personal computers greatly facilitates the problem solving process, minimizing the down time.

Low Total Operating Cost by Sophisticated Komatsu Design

The AE50/AM50 Series features Komatsu’s original Total AC system and the special airtight wet disc brake system that efficiently reduce the maintenance costs. Komatsu furthermore offers exceptional water resistance technology and high reliability. Unlike the engine trucks, there is no need for the engine-related periodical maintenance changes. The AE50/AM50 Series goes above and beyond in keeping the operating costs at the lowest.

Minimum Maintenance Cost with the Total AC System

Along with the 2 traveling motors, the AE50/AM50 Series also utilizes advanced AC motors for hydraulic operation. Since it completely eliminates the need for motor brush or contractor replacements, the maintenance costs are further reduced. Moreover, not only does AC motor have a high operating efficiency, but it also has a long operating life. The power saving function enables the trucks to operate for a long period without having low output.

Exceptional Durability with the Airtight Wet Disc Brake System

The airtight wet disc brake system efficiently ensures exceptional overall durability. Unlike the conventional drum brake systems, this system requires no extensive periodical maintenance except for oil changes, therefore reducing the maintenance costs.

Outstanding Performance Ensuring High Productivity

All-around Dual Drive loaded with the AC 2 motors ensures the powerful traveling ability. The AE50/AM50 Series offers agile turning performance by incorporating a high-mounted rear axle and adopting original low-mounted battery that keeps the trucks’ center of gravity low. The new series also offers a wide battery range and the side battery access that allow the trucks to be utilized for long continuous operations. With these exceptional features, the AE50/AM50 Series guarantees excellent performance that even nears that of engine trucks.

Superb Traveling Performance Offered by All-around Dual Drive

All-around Dual Drive, in which each of the two front wheels is driven by an AC motor, confers the powerful traveling performance comparable to that of engine trucks. Indeed, Komatsu’s All-around Dual Drive ensures excellent traveling performance even under the most undesirable floor/ground conditions.

Stable Control by the Airtight Wet Disc Brake System

Not only does this Komatsu brake technology confer excellent control even under wet floor conditions, it also offers smooth braking applications that further enhances productivity.

Superb Turning Stability

Komatsu design technology achieves excellent turning stability even during high speed turns thanks to high-mounted rear axle and low-mounted battery that ensure the low center of gravity. Rubber mount rear axle absorbs shocks and vibrations for great riding comfort.

Advanced Controller

The AE50/AM50 Series features the advanced controller, which regulates all required functions, as well as the safety mechanisms such as traveling/lifting Operator Presence Sensing. Moreover, the power saving function guarantees the AC motor’s best performance even at higher battery discharging stage.

Side Battery Access

The AE50/AM50 Series makes the battery exchange safer and smoother, making it ideal for continuous operations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.

Fully Hydrostatic Power Steering (FHPS) System

Komatsu’s hydrostatic power steering system allows smooth and easy stationary steering and switchbacks, providing outstanding agility and comfort. With a smaller 300mm-diameter steering wheel, Komatsu AE50/AM50 Series has attained superior responsiveness, optimizing maneuverability even in narrow spaces. The fluctuations during straight traveling are also minimized, further enhancing the travel stability. Moreover, this steering system automatically detects undesirable knob slides and restores back to its original position.

Diligent Pursuit of Safety and Comfort

Ensuring operator’s safety and comfort is essential in reducing the total operating costs and therefore also in achieving high productivity and efficiency. The AE50/AM50 Series features new hydraulic operation and traveling control levers, function setups, as well as ideal ergonomic layout of the operation devices. Safety devices such as traveling/lifting Operator Presence Sensing system are installed in order to ensure safety of the operators at all times.

Traveling/lifting Operator Presence Sensing System

The traveling/lifting Operator Presence Sensing System is a safety function which meets ISO3691. This safety system allows hydraulic or traveling operations only when the operator is seated. Specifically the alarm is activated and operation stops three seconds after the operator leaves the seat without applying parking brake. The Operator Presence Sensing System is a double safety measure and remains activated even when the operator returns to the seat. The interlock can only be released by returning the respective switch to a safe position.

Comfortable Access to the Truck

The step and floor of the AE50/AM50 Series trucks are kept low and spacious in order to minimize the operator burden during entry and exit. The access to the truck is further facilitated by the considerate design around the steering and assisting grip. Operators can easily walk through the truck to the opposite side.

HSS II Seat

Komatsu’s original cushioning and dumper technology efficiently absorbs vibrations. Furthermore, the HSS II seat is specially designed to support the entire body in order to minimize fatigue even in long continuous operating sessions.

Three-wheel Trucks with Pivot Turn Ability / AM50 Series

The AM50 Series features three-wheel trucks with a rear wheel that can be turned 90°. Furthermore, the forced inner wheel reverse function exclusively makes the front inner tyres rotate in the opposite direction when the rear wheel is turned more than 75°. This features powerful driving force for smoother sharp turns as well as pivot turns.

Improved Maneuverability—2.0t Compact Trucks

Komatsu proudly offers original 2.0 t compact 4-wheel and 3-wheel trucks. The minimum turning radius for 2.0 t compact trucks is 1,850 mm, conferring exceptional agility for smoother traveling in narrow spaces.

Adjustable Individual Setups

Functions such as traveling, lifting and tilting speeds can be adjusted according to a variety of individual needs. These adjustments can easily be made with simple steps on a meter panel at any time. With adjustable setups, operations can individually be optimized, making operations smoother and more comfortable.

Excellent Visibility

The AE50/AM50 Series offers excellent visibility in all directions for safety. In order to minimize the front dead angles, the operating seat is located to the left side of the truck. Moreover, Komatsu utilizes high-visibility masts and places the meter panel on top of the dashboard to secure a clear front view, allowing operators to clearly see the tips of the forks.

High-mount Rear Combination Lamp

Turning signals, backup lamps, and stop lamps are all located together on top of the rear overhead guard to optimize the truck visibility for safer operations.

Paper Binder

The AE50/AM50 Series is equipped with a convenient large-size paper binder beside the operator seat. The paper binder also has a space for items such as pens and pencils.
