2024 Komatsu AM50 Series FB15U-12

Electric forklifts can be hindered by wet and corrosive environments, but the nimble yet powerful 3-wheeled AM50 takes rain, snow, and salt water in stride. Its battery-powered sustainability, low maintenance design and unsurpassed turning ability mean it’s perfect for outdoor jobs that previously only engine-powered models could handle.

Features may include:

• Limit your downtime even in harsh conditions. The AM50 series forklifts meet IP-X4 water-resistant standards and offer airtight, wet disc brakes, AC motors that eliminate motor brush/contact checks or replacements, weather-resistant controls and more.

• An airtight, wet disc brake system assures dependable braking in most working environments. Unlike conventional drum-and-shoe braking systems, Komatsu’s wet disc brake system can go up to 10,000 hours with little more than oil changes.

• Achieve high performance with minimal costs with an AC system that utilizes advanced AC drive motors and an AC hydraulic motor. The Total AC system’s AC motors provide high operating efficiency, long operating life and longer run times than conventional DC-type motors.

• When you need great performance in bad surface conditions. All-around Dual Drive means the two front wheels are driven by independent AC drive motors for power and speed comparable to that of an engine-powered truck.

• Efficiency and precision from controllers designed to be light, compact, and simple to use. The controller itself is reliability tested and housed in a compartment that resists dust, water and other contaminants.

• A forklift for coolers, freezers, the outdoors, and that can be safely washed down when needed. AM50 models are designed to meet IP-X4 water-resistant standards, down to the control micro-switches, potentiometers and control signal circuits.
