The Forklift With Proven Ability.™

ENGINEERING BIG PERFORMANCE REQUIRED A FOCUS ON THE SMALL DETAILS. GREAT DESIGN starts on the smallest level. And with the Komatsu AX50, no detail has been overlooked. Building on our 80-year history of superior engineering, the AX50 delivers improved performance and unbeatable strength for your most demanding applications. The cushion and pneumatic series forklifts are available in 3,000- and 3,500-pound capacities. And both deliver on the qualities you’ve come to count on in a Komatsu — high performance, low maintenance requirements, total operator comfort and excellent reliability

ADVANCED EMISSION CONTROLS CREATE A CLEANER ENVIRONMENT THE NEW AX50 SERIES uses advanced Clean Air Technology to bring exhaust emissions well below regulations for gasoline and LPG engines set by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Emission reductions come in part from a new Engine Control Module (ECM) used in both gasoline and LPG engines. The new ECM more accurately regulates air-fuel ratios to deliver optimum combustion while producing exceptionally low emissions levels. The AX50 also reduces environmental sound levels because they produce high operating torque at low engine speeds....

PUT YOUR OPERATORS IN THE KOMFORT ZONE ™ DESIGNED FOR COMFORT AND CAPABILITY The influence of Komatsu’s construction division is evident in the AX50 frame design.

It’s quality that operators will appreciate – delivering capable performance day after day. Comfort is critical to operator productivity. And at Komatsu Forklift, we pride ourselves on providing total operator comfort. The result: The Komatsu Komfort Zone, an...

FOOT AND HEAD ROOM Pedals suspended from the dash frame and tilt cylinders located under the floor give the AX50 operator more foot room and floor space. The AX50 overhead guard provides headroom to accommodate operators of all sizes....
