Brand: KOMATSU – A century-old Japanese construction machinery giant with a global market share of over 15% in the forklift segment, especially leading in the 3-ton diesel forklift market in the Middle East, Southeast Asia and Europe. KOMATSU forklifts are renowned for their
low fuel consumption,
high operational stability and
humanized design, with a service network covering 180+ countries (including 350+ authorized service centers and 12 regional parts warehouses worldwide). The brand’s 4D94LE engine and precision hydraulic system make its equipment a top choice for high-frequency material handling in warehouses, ports and industrial parks.
Model: KOMATSU FD30T-17 – A 3-ton class counterbalanced diesel forklift, a flagship model of KOMATSU’s 17 series optimized for heavy-duty material handling scenarios such as large warehouse stacking, port cargo transfer and industrial production line feeding. Powered by the KOMATSU 4D94LE 4-cylinder diesel engine (29.5kW rated power) and equipped with a precision hydraulic lifting system, it delivers a rated load of 3000kg, a standard lift height of 3000mm, and a minimum turning radius of only 2370mm. It meets US EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3A emission standards, and has been widely used in Europe, the Middle East and Southeast Asia for its fuel efficiency and flexible operation.
The FD30T-17 is equipped with the KOMATSU 4D94LE 4-cylinder water-cooled diesel engine (29.5kW rated power, 3.053L displacement), adopting direct injection technology and turbocharging optimization:
- Low Fuel Consumption: The engine achieves a fuel consumption of only 4.0-4.5L per working hour, 18% lower than peers in the same tonnage class, thanks to its high-pressure common rail fuel injection system and variable valve timing technology.
- Eco-Friendly Emission: It meets US EPA Tier 3 and EU Stage 3A emission standards, eliminating the need for additional emission modification for customs clearance in most European and Middle Eastern countries.
- Durable Design: The double-layer air filter and oil-water separation fuel filter effectively resist dust and impurities in port and warehouse environments, extending the engine’s service life to 16,000 hours—35% longer than the industry average.
Paired with KOMATSU’s precision hydraulic lifting system (main pump flow of 50L/min), the FD30T-17 ensures smooth and accurate material handling:
- Strong Lifting Capacity: With a rated load of 3000kg and a load center of 500mm, it can stably lift heavy cargo such as steel coils and palletized goods, with a maximum lifting pressure of 190bar to avoid pressure drop during heavy-load operations.
- Flexible Operation: The hydraulic system supports stepless speed regulation of lifting and tilting, with a forward tilt angle of 6° and a backward tilt angle of 12°, adapting to the handling of irregular cargo such as large packaging boxes and fragile goods.
- Low Maintenance Cost: The hydraulic oil replacement cycle is extended to 6000 hours—2.5 times longer than the industry average, and the imported seals reduce hydraulic leakage rates by 90%.
The FD30T-17 features a compact body and ergonomic control system, reducing operator fatigue and improving work efficiency:
- Ultra-Small Turning Radius: The minimum turning radius is only 2370mm, enabling flexible turning in 3.5m-wide warehouse aisles and crowded port yards, increasing operational efficiency by 25% in narrow spaces.
- Smooth Operation: Even when turning at a standstill, it can start smoothly without accelerating the engine, and the lightweight steering gear reduces operator effort by 30% during long-hour operations.
- Comfortable Cab: The double "suspended" structure, widened anti-slip floor and spacious steps reduce vibration during operation, and the increased headroom for operators (up to 1200mm) ensures comfort during 8-hour+ continuous shifts.
The FD30T-17 adopts a high-strength steel frame and a counterbalanced weight design, ensuring operational safety in harsh working conditions:
- Comprehensive Safety Protection: The FOPS-certified overhead guard and driving induction system prevent injuries from falling objects and operational errors. The wide-view rearview mirror and top warning light ensure safe operation in busy industrial environments, and the double-circuit hydraulic brake system has a braking distance of only 3.0m at 10km/h.
- Corrosion-Resistant Body: The anti-corrosion paint on the body resists salt spray corrosion in coastal port environments and oil pollution in industrial parks, extending the equipment’s service life by 40%.
- Easy Maintenance: Daily maintenance points such as engine oil, hydraulic oil and air filter are accessible at ground level, cutting maintenance time by 30%. Common spare parts (filters, brake pads, hydraulic hoses) are available in KOMATSU’s regional warehouses in Dubai, Frankfurt and Singapore, with a delivery time of 3-7 days.
With overall dimensions of 3775×1235×2130mm and a minimum turning radius of 2370mm, the FD30T-17 has a compact and robust body. The KOMATSU green anti-corrosion paint resists dust and salt spray, while the 4310kg counterweight ensures stable lifting of 3000kg loads.
The KOMATSU 4D94LE engine (29.5kW rated power) is paired with a 50L/min hydraulic main pump, driving the fork to lift stably to 3000mm. The engine compartment features a low-noise design (noise ≤80dB), reducing operational noise pollution in closed warehouses.
The ergonomic joystick and double "suspended" seat reduce operator fatigue during long-hour operations. The standstill turning function and lightweight steering gear simplify operation steps, and the anti-slip foot pedal ensures safe operation in wet port environments.
The KOMATSU FD30T-17 is a versatile 3-ton forklift for various overseas heavy-duty material handling projects:
- Large Warehouse Stacking: Ideal for high-shelf stacking (3000mm lift height) in logistics warehouses in Europe and the Middle East. Its 2370mm turning radius adapts to narrow aisles, and the low fuel consumption reduces operational costs for high-frequency stacking.
- Port Cargo Transfer: Suitable for container auxiliary handling and bulk cargo loading/unloading in Southeast Asian and Middle Eastern ports. The anti-corrosion paint resists salt spray corrosion, and the 3000kg load capacity meets the handling needs of heavy cargo such as cement bags and steel pipes.
- Industrial Production Line Feeding: Used for raw material feeding and finished product handling in automotive, electronics and food production lines in Europe and Africa. The smooth hydraulic operation ensures precise handling of fragile components, and the low-noise engine adapts to closed production workshops.
- Outdoor Yard Handling: Perfect for outdoor yard cargo transfer in Latin America and Africa. The inflatable tires (front: 8.25-15, rear: 6.50-10) adapt to gravel and uneven ground, and the durable chassis withstands long-term outdoor operation.
