The new UK distributor for Komatsu Forklifts, Ambassador Lift Trucks, has launched the AE50/AM50 series of compact and eco-friendly three- and four-wheel electric AC forklifts.


Eco-friendly lifter D


eveloped to achieve low operating costs,


productivity, safety and comfort, the eco-friendly AE50 is Komatsu’s first


total AC electric powered lift truck which achieves outstanding energy savings compared with its conventional engine truck models. With its waterproof characteristics and ability to be used outdoors, this truck offers users a way to go "green” by replacing engine-powered models that are used indoors or outdoors with an electric forklift alternative. This could have a dramatic effect for users looking to reduce their carbon footprint and reduce their overall operational costs through reduced maintenance expenditures and lower costs of re-fuelling.


In addition to fuel savings, the total AC system offers a power and controlled drive system, hydraulic and power steering system with no DC motors. The AE50/AM50 range also offers low maintenance costs without compromising on performance, and exceptional durability thanks to the air-tight wet disc brake system. Users have a choice of cushion or solid pneumatic tyres for even greater application flexibility. “It’s a fantastic option for warehousing,” says Trevor De’Ath, sales director at Ambassador. “The AE50 has so many features but essentially it offers substantial cost savings on energy and maintenance as well


as outstanding performance, indoors


or outside, and 24 hour/365 day capability – we think it’s going to satisfy the growing demands in the material handling industry.” ● www.ambassador.uk.com
