Whether you're a construction professional, warehouse manager, or logistics expert, understanding the ins and outs of 16-tonne Komatsu forklift hire will empower you to make informed decisions and maximize operational efficiency.

The new 10-16 tonne diesel hydrostatic drive family achieves its durability and low costs of ownership from its rugged designs and field proven components.

With Komatsu’s hydrostatic drive system, standard wet disc brakes, and Closed-center Load Sensing hydraulic system (CLSS), the FH series achieves reduced costs of operation and reduced maintenance costs.

Also equipped with KOMTRAX—Komatsu’s exclusive information data management system.

Komatsu Reliability
Now, when you buy a new Komatsu forklift the warranty runs for 5 years or 10,000 hours operation (Subject to Komatsu Forklift Australia warranty terms & conditions).

Komatsu CLSS automatically detects the hydraulic load ensuring only the required amount of oil is supplied reducing unnecessary engine effort.
24 volt electrical components improve engine starting performance – even in cold regions the Komatsu FH will deliver smooth, consistent starting performance.

High quality and Reliable Komatsu components. All of the Komatsu FH series main components such as the engine, hydraulic pumps, hydraulic motor, axles and controllers are designed, developed and manufactured by Komatsu.
Komatsu Auto Engine Shutdown fitted standard.

The Komatsu SAA4D107E-3 engine is U.S. EPA Tier 4 Final emission certified. Based on Komatsu proprietary technologies developed over many years, this new diesel engine reduces exhaust gas particulate matter (PM) by more than 90% as compared to Tier 4 Interim levels. This engines electronics and hydraulic components are all developed by Komatsu in-house and are designed to work together. Komatsu has achieved great advancements in technology, providing high levels of performance and efficiency in virtually all applications.

Heavy-duty after treatment system. This new system combines a Komatsu Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (KDOC) and Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR). The SCR NOx reduction system injects the correct amount of Diesel Exhaust Fluid (DEF) at the proper rate, thereby decomposing NOx into non-toxic water vapor (H20) and nitrogen gas (N2).

Cooled Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR). Cooled EGR system recirculates a portion of exhaust gas into the air intake and lowers combustion temperature, thereby reducing NOx emissions. The system achieves a dynamic reduction of NOx, while reducing fuel consumption.

Variable Geometry Turbocharger (VGT) system. Using Komatsu proprietary technology, a newly designed variable geometry turbocharger with a hydraulic accumulator is used to manage and deliver optimal air flow to the combustion chamber under all speed and load conditions, resulting in cleaner exhaust gas and improved fuel economy while maintaining performance.

Komatsu Closed Crankcase Ventilation (KCCV). Crankcase emissions (Blowby gas) are passed through a KCCV filter, traps oil mist which is returned back to the crankcase for combustion. PM emission is reduced and results in cleaner exhaust gas.

KOMTRAX, a standard feature on the FH series, is Komatsu’s remote equipment and fleet monitoring system. Leading-edge wireless technology and a secure, user-friendly web-based application provide critical information…anytime, anywhere. KOMTRAX tells us where your machines are, what they are doing, and how they are doing it providing total fleet management capabilities for improved fleet utilization, reduced downtime and lower owning and operating costs.


The Oil Cooled wet disc braking system can withstand approx. 10 years or 10,000hrs without maintenance.The wet disc brake system is sealed with oil to block dust penetration, providing durable, water resistant and fade resistant characteristics. Smooth, stable braking provides productivity and reliability in demanding operations. The oil in a wet disc brake system is circulated through the brake oil cooler. This mechanism ensures stable braking under a heavy work load and prevents deterioration of the braking force that could be caused by raised oil temperatures.
