Some Of The Safety And Comfort Komatsu Fh Series Models Features:

  • A new feature-Seat belt warning indicator-
    The warning device alerts the driver when the seat belt is not fastened, thus promoting safe operation. Additionally, the seat belt is orange, making it easier to check from outside the truck if it is secured.
  • Optional Seat belt interlock function-
    Traveling or lifting is only permitted when the seat belt is fastened. If the seat belt is unfastened, traveling and lifting will not be permitted.
  • Operator Presence Sensing system-
    In order to travel or lift, the operator must be seated. This provides a double safety measure by requiring the operator to sit securely and return the directional lever to neutral before traveling.
  • In the FH series, the engine can only start when the operator is seated. The directional lever must be engaged in order for it to start lever is in the neutral position and the brake pedal is kept depressed. This function prevents the sudden starting of the forklift truck, thus supporting the safe operation.
  • Prevention of the lift operation when turning off the key-
    With the key switch off, lift function is locked, which prevents the fork and mast from operating if the control lever is touched by accident.
  • Parking brake warning indicator-
    There is an intermittent buzzer and an indicator lamp when the driver leaves the truck without setting the parking brake. Additionally, the buzzer sounds if the operator presses the accelerator pedal while the parking brake is engaged, protecting the brakes from excessive wear.
