Make Your Job Site a Cleaner, Quieter Working Environment

The new BX50 series helps create a workplace that’s easier to work and be productive in. Sound levels drop with the BX50 because the drive train generates high operating torque at low engine speeds. Engine emissions in gasoline and LPG engines are managed by a new Engine Control Module (ECM) that produces exceptionally low emissions levels because it more accurately regulates air-fuel ratios for optimum combustion. The result: the BX50 beats even the tough Tier II regulations for gasoline and LPG engine exhaust emissions set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).

Fuel Economy is Built into Every BX50

Multi-port fuel injection on gasoline engines, and single-port, throttle body injection on LPG engines are controlled by an Electronic Concentrated Control System (ECCS) and Sophisticated Optimized Fuel Injection System (SOFIS). These advanced controls boost fuel economy for both gasoline and LPG. An available dual-fuel system delivers optimum performance on either fuel, for extra job-site flexibility. The BX50’s fuel economy is further boosted by the EZlift hydraulic system, which uses a tandem pump to supply independent power for lifting and steering. The tandem pump eliminates the flow divider between the pump and control valve. EZlift hydraulics give you smooth lifting without revving up the engine, which reduces fuel consumption. It also keeps the engine from stalling when steering and lifting, produces less temperature buildup, and delivers better control in tight areas.

Easy Steering Even at Rest

Even when the BX50 is standing still, its Fully Hydrostatic Power Steering (FHPS) system allows easy steering. The FHPS system also reduces operator fatigue by eliminating kickback. Operator feel and control are improved by a small-diameter steering wheel, and an optional spinner knob allows easier one-handed steering.

Rapid Access for Daily Checks

The BX50 saves minutes with every daily check. Quickly check brake fluid by lifting a single cover by the steering wheel. Get rapid access to engine components with a durable, one-piece, light-weight, steel engine cover and a lift-out floorboard. The gas cylinder-assisted engine cover easily opens with a single latch, and a locking device holds the cover open.

Easy, intuitive controls maximize efficiency

Forklifts are constantly changing direction. The BX50’s forward/reverse lever provides smooth, low-effort shifting. Automotive-style levers for headlights and turn signals work with simple, familiar actions. These easy, intuitive operating controls maximize efficiency, reduce fatigue and shorten learning time.

Comfortable – and rugged

At Komatsu Forklift, we know that operator comfort is critical to reducing fatigue and increasing productivity. We take pride in providing total operator comfort with the Komatsu Komfort Zone: a dual floating structure that protects operators through advanced ergonomic design. The Komfort Zone reduces the effects of engine vibration, noise and heat. The Komfort Zone fights vibration in several ways. First, vibration-dampening mounts separate the engine and transmission from the forklift’s frame. Next, additional suspension mounts isolate the operator compartment from the frame. Vibration transmitted from the differential is also reduced by an advanced drive train design. Besides operator comfort, the BX50 also provides superior durability that shows the influence of Komatsu’s construction division. The heavy-gauge steel frame, front axle and heavy front fender connect to deliver high strength – critical for high lifting heights and heavy loads. Operators will appreciate the BX50’s reliable, day-after-day capability.

Tall or short, operators like the bx50

Tall, average, or short, your operators will find the BX50 comfortable. Start with extra headroom in the overhead guard. Then add foot room and floor space with dash-suspended pedals and tilt cylinders tucked out of the way under the floor. The BX50 accommodates operators of all sizes.

Operators stay cool

Hot engine air doesn’t bother operators when the BX50 travels in reverse. Angled exit parts for engine air and low-mounted exhaust vents direct air away from the operator compartment – and away from the floor. Operators stay cool, and less dust is stirred into the air.

Kops plus protects your workplace

The BX50 features KOPS Plus to protect people and equipment if the operator leaves the seat. If the seat is vacant for more than three seconds, KOPS Plus automatically locks out all lift, lower, tilt and travel functions. The operator must return to the seat to unlock the system. A flashing yellow warning light alerts the operator when KOPS Plus is activated. In addition, the BX50 forks cannot be lowered with the key in the off position.
