09/10/2020 Komatsu is a well-known brand when we talk about material
handling equipment. Their products are renowned for reliability and
functionality. Not surprisingly, they are the mainstay for a lot of material
handling operations. Recently, the company launched the Tier 4 Final emission
certified FH-2 forklift series. That’s why the FH-2 Forklift series comes with
more power as well as more safety features.
Due to the addition of a heavy-duty high-pressure common rail
fuel injection system and an electronic control system, Komatsu’s new diesel
forklift truck and engine offer improved performance while reducing overall
fuel consumption. The FH-2 forklift is now available at C&C Lift Truck at
competitive prices. Here are three facts about this latest workhorse collection
from Komatsu.
Reduced Exhaust Gas Particulate Matter
It is important to note that Komatsu’s SAA4D95LE-6 engine meets
the U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final standard. This means that it has upgraded functions
when compared to Tier 4 Interim level models. For example, the new diesel
engine can reduce exhaust gas particulate matter (PM) by over 90 percent.
Hydro-Static Transmission with Wet Disc Brakes
In the FH-2 forklift series, the brake discs are submerged in
oil inside the transmission assembly. When the brakes are applied, the discs
come together and any oil between the pads is squeezed off. This means that
there is no loss of friction that is central to the braking system. The
advantage of this kind of braking system over the dry one is that the oil can
effectively cools down the brake discs. This translates to not just greater
efficacy in braking power, but the pads last far longer than the traditional ones.
The cooling effect of the oil also reduces wear and tear caused by heat. This
makes the Tier 4 Final Compliant FH-2 Forklift series more economical to run
than earlier models, translating into higher margins for your operations.
Closed-Center Load Sensing System
The Komatsu Tier 4 Final Compliant FH-2 Forklift series comes
with this powerful feature that allows for better operation of the forklift.
The closed-center load sensing system features a variable displacement pump
that senses when the forklift needs less hydraulic fluid. Such situations
include when the machine has been sitting idle for a while. Conversely, the
variable pump also senses when the machine needs more fluid and opens up the
valve to give the forklift more power and speed. These changes are completely
independent of any action by the operator and make for smooth and effective
handling of the machine.
Remote Monitoring
The Komatsu Tier 4 Final Compliant FH-2 Forklift series features
KOMTRAX, Komatsu’s remote monitoring feature that allows you to keep tabs on
the forklift remotely. Through this unique feature, you can gather data such as
where the machine is, operator performance as well as fuel usage. This data
allows you to catch problems long before they become a real crisis. For example,
a spike in fuel usage might suggest that the engine might need servicing or
that something else might be wrong.
The Komatsu Tier 4 Final Compliant FH-2 Forklift series
impresses with features that stand for superior performance. These features
include an innovative display system that has been enlarged. This makes it easy
for the operator to monitor the performance of the forklift. The new Komatsu
forklift also has a seat belt buzzer for enhanced safety.
