Why the Komatsu Forklift Warranty Is the Best Among Forklift Manufacturers

Today we are going to explain the incredible Komatsu Forklift warranty.

We have over 40 years experience in the material handling industry and we would love to share our expertise on forklift equipment with you.

In this post, we give you a full breakdown of Komatsu's forklift warranties and why they are the best among forklift manufacturers. So, let's get going.

Komatsu Forklift Warranty

Komatsu offers the best warranty on the market

In 2017, Komatsu introduced its incredible K-CAP+ warranty. As we break it down and compare it to other forklift manufacturers' warranties, you'll see why it's clearly the strongest and longest warranty available.

Komatsu has a well-deserved reputation for building one of the best forklifts on the market, and now they are backing this up by offering one of the best warranties in the business too.

Komatsu Customer Advantage Plan Plus - K-CAP+

The Komatsu Customer Advantage Plan Plus, known as K-CAP+ is their newest and most exciting warranty. It applies to all of their BX50 Forklift Models. the BX50 series is at the very heart of the Komatsu forklift line-up and includes:

• Electric Forklifts with 3,000 lb to 6,000 lb capacities

• Cushion Tire Forklifts with 3,000 lb to 6,000 lb capacities

• Pneumatic Tire Forklift with 3,000 lb to 35,000 lb capacities

The BX50’s superior performance can increase productivity, minimize operator fatigue, reduce operating costs, and improve the working environment.

Komatsu Forklift Warranty: Details of K-CAP+

The Komatsu Customer Advantage Plan PLUS forklift warranty gives you:

24 Months / Unlimited Hours Standard Warranty Coverage*

Two years of unlimited hours of standard coverage cannot be beaten by any of the other top forklift manufacturers.

Although most of the top manufacturers offer 2 years of standard coverage, they all put a cap on the number of hours with most of them covering up to 4,000 hours.

Komatsu covers you for an unlimited number of hours, making it the longest warranty in the market.

*Please refer to the Customer Advantage Plan PLUS Warranty Certificate for further details.

60 Months / 8,000 Hours Power Train Protection Warranty*

The power train consists of the components of your forklift that give power to the driving wheels, including the engine, transmission, drive shafts, etc.

With your Komatsu forklift warranty, your power train is covered for 5 years/8,000 hours. Most of the other top manufacturers give a 2 or 3 year warranty on the drive train with a maximum of 6,000 hours.

*Please refer to the Customer Advantage Plan PLUS Warranty Certificate for further details.

60 Months / 10,000 Hours on Wet Disc Brake Systems

Wet disc brakes are a better and more powerful braking system than regular brakes and are perfect for heavy breaking application.

Wet brakes run in oil that keeps them cool. The Komatsu forklift warranty covers your wet disc brakes for 5 years/10,000 hours.

KCAP+ Can Be Transferred to a Second Owner

This is a great feature of the Komatsu forklift warranty. If you are selling your pre-owned forklift and it still has warranty left on it, it can be transferred to the new owner. What a great selling feature that can be!

Komatsu Customer Advantage Plan Warranty - KCAP Plan

All other Komatsu forklifts, except the FR Reach Trucks, are covered under their Komatsu Customer Advantage Plan Warranty also known as the KCAP plan. It features the following:

• 24 months / 3,000 Hours Standard Warranty Coverage

• 60 months / 6,000 Hours Drive Train Coverage

• 60 months / 10,000 Hours on Wet Disc Brake systems

This is a great warranty as well!

Why Having a Good Forklift Warranty Is Important

Probably the number one reason why having a good warranty is important is the peace of mind that it gives you when purchasing a new forklift.

You know what you're getting into if you ever need to fix your forklift and how long it should work without any major issues. But there are other good reasons to make sure you get a good warranty, including:

• Help with Your Decision: If you are trying to decide between two identical forklifts that are priced the same, the one that offers the better warranty will probably be the one that you should choose.

• Trust: Warranties help build trust between you and your forklift dealer. You are probably also more likely to purchase again from a forklift company that offers a great warranty.

• Protection: Both you and your dealer know exactly what is covered on your forklift and for how long as it is in writing. Neither party can claim something different than what is in the warranty.
