Japanese Komatsu front loaders

The Japanese corporation Komatsu Group is known throughout the world for its construction and specialized machines, produced using the most modern technologies and distinguished not only by the widest range and availability of very narrow specialization equipment, but also by universal-purpose machines that can replace an entire fleet of specialized equipment.

The company includes 22 enterprises producing machines and components, and the Komatsu Group association consists of 188 subsidiaries and 42 smaller companies with equity rights. Komatsu enterprises employ more than 30 thousand people. Financial indicators are also impressive - net annual profit is more than 2.5 billion US dollars.

In the Russian Federation, the Komatsu Group began operating during the Soviet era from the early 60s of the twentieth century. It all started with one-time supplies of excavator and bulldozer equipment necessary for the development and exploration of new natural resource deposits. Japanese technology has proven itself to be highly reliable and efficient, and annual trade turnover today exceeds $150 million.

Komatsu front loaders are one of the company's defining line of special-purpose equipment. They differ in a number of indicators unique to them and are somewhat higher in the gradation of similar products from global companies.

Komatsu has its production in Russia at factories for the production of excavators, heavy bulldozers, truck cranes and fork and front-end loaders. All work of official distributors is coordinated by Moscow, which operates throughout the countries of the former USSR.

The main representatives of the Komatsu front loader family

The manufacturing enterprises of the Japanese corporation produce many models and modifications of front wheel loaders. Komatsu front loaders are designed to work in various fields of industry and trade. Sometimes they differ from each other only in minor design nuances or individual components and assemblies. But among the entire range of machines, certain models stand out, which have become “trend setters” or the basis for the construction of a whole range of original machines. Among them there is a Komatsu gasoline loader. This model can be equipped with a bucket and forks.

Four loader models (FG40T-10, FG40ZT-10, FG45T-10, FG50AT-10) have a lifting capacity of 4 to 5 tons and are equipped with a six-cylinder engine manufactured by Nissan.

Characteristics of Komatsu electric forklifts

As for electric forklifts, there are three- and four-wheeled vehicles. Three-wheeled vehicles (FВ15М-12, FВ18М-12, FВ20М-12) have a minimum load capacity of 1.3 to 2 tons. On these models, the manufacturer installed a traction electric motor of 4.5x2 kW, and a pump electric motor of 9 kW. In terms of dimensions and characteristics, the models in this group are similar to similar gasoline or diesel cars. All forklifts are equipped with a counterweight for greater stability. Four-wheeled models have a load capacity of 1.5 to 2 tons (FB15-12, FB18-12, FB20A-12) and from 2.5 to 3 tons (FB25EX-11, FB30-11). If in the first models the value of the traction motor is also 4.5x2 kW, and the pump electric motor is 9 kW, then in the latter it is higher. For example, the FB30-11 loader is maximally capable of lifting 3 tons; for this, the manufacturer installed a 9.7 kW electric motor and a 12.6 kW pump motor.

If you are going to buy a Komatsu forklift, you will have to pay about $10,000 to $25,000 for used equipment, and the price of new machines produced in 2013 reaches $50,000.
