DX20 Series - 5ton - 8 ton Gas/Diesel counterbalance

The DX20 series has been designed by Komatsu engineers to be the main contender in the 5t – 8t IC engine forklift truck market.

The engineers focused on creating a comfortable working environment, standardizing the following functions:

• Suspended cab on hydraulic mounts (HSC)
• Semi suspension adjustable seat
• Integrated full instrumentation console with warning indicators
• Electrically controlled transmission direction selector lever
• Large size foot pedals

The machines provide the operator maximum confidence, which is of the utmost importance when working long hours.

The heart of the truck is its powerful and reliable Diesel S(A)6D102E or LPG TB42 engine, both of which provide powerful torque with the lowest noise levels in their category. The FD80T-8 model has been further enhanced with an aftercooler that can be calibrated to generate 96kW of power and torque of 466Nm!

The hydraulic transmission features two gears in each direction of travel, permitting speeds up to 31 km/h when unladen and with powerful but gradual acceleration due to the conical clutch and modulation valve.

The cooling system has been engineered to sustain extensive use and includes a large capacity fan and radiator system that constantly maintains fluid temperatures within permissible limits.

The rear axle has been designed to provide very sharp steering angles with a small turning radius.

There are two braking systems depending upon the capacity of the truck both ensuring the correct performance of strength and power. The 5t. to 7t models feature a vacuum based HydraMaster braking system, while the FD80T-8 model has a full hydraulic power braking system. Both braking solutions include an accumulator that guarantees safe and secure braking even when the engine is switched off.

A tandem hydraulic pump connected to the transmission separately powers either the lift or the full hydraulic power steering system, offering the fastest lift speeds in their category and steering that is always light and easy.

The chassis and mast sections have been designed for strength and rigidity including careful design and location of welded joints. The excellent visibilità through the mast is a source of pride for this DX20 series.

The following features are standard on all trucks:

• Deluxe OCS semi suspension adjustable seat
• Tiltable steering column
• Full lighting system
• Comprehensive instrumentation console with warning indicators
• Double-acting cyclonic air filter
• Choke (LPG) & Cold start facility QGS (diesel)
• Transmission Oil Cooler
• Tow Pin
