Komatsu Comfort Ride

Um novo recurso é a capacidade de ajustar a firmeza lateral da suspensão da cabine, o que melhora ainda mais o conforto do operador. Esta função é ajustada à velocidade da máquina para tornar a condução o mais confortável possível, independentemente de o operador estar avançando lentamente sobre um obstáculo fora da estrada ou dirigindo sem carga desde o patamar até a próxima pilha de madeira. Em termos práticos, a firmeza da suspensão é progressiva, aumentando com a velocidade da máquina para garantir o máximo conforto. No entanto, como as preferências do operador em relação à suspensão ideal da cabine diferem em várias situações, ajustes individuais podem ser feitos para cada operador e as configurações são salvas automaticamente no MaxiXT. O operador também pode ajustar facilmente a firmeza durante a condução, se necessário, para adaptar a máquina a diferentes condições de solo.

Another new feature is that the new Comfort Ride can level the cab laterally on gradients of up to 6 degrees, provided the machine is stationary or moving slowly. This offers the operator a more comfortable working posture during crane operation, which usually is a fair share of their working day. When the machine is moving at higher speeds, the longitudinal suspension is given priority to better handle rough terrain.

When unloading, a clear view of the load area is advantageous. Comfort Ride has long had an unloading mode that raises the cab the full stroke of the cylinders. This affords the operator a good overview of the load area and the landing. One of the updates in the new Comfort Ride is that this function now also works when the machine is moved at low speed. This allows the operator to reposition the machine at the landing while still retaining the elevated position. If, however, the speed increases, the cab is automatically lowered back down to its standard position.

In addition to these new features, Komatsu Comfort Ride retains the same popular characteristics as before. The hydraulic cab suspension dampens vibrations from the tracks to ensure a smooth, comfortable ride for the operator, just as it dampens any jolts during crane operation. Komatsu Comfort Ride quite simply offers forwarder operators a work environment that is physically more forgiving while the reduction in jolts and vibrations enables them to retain their focus and energy levels for longer. Add to this the new features of our upgraded Komatsu Comfort Ride and you're in for a truly comfortable ride.
