Komatsu Comfort Ride
Hydraulic cab suspension done right
Komatsu’s new hydraulic cab suspension is a
forwarder option and an innovation that produces
suspension properties far beyond the norm.
The design with optimised geometry, 4-point
suspension and well-protected cylinders with
long stroke effectively counteracts shocks, sway and vibrations.
This improves comfort, reduces fatigue and contributes to an
entirely new way of increasing productivity.
With Komatsu Comfort Ride, you also get automatic level
regulation, which superbly compensates for centre of gravity
HYDRAULIC CAB SUSPENSION
offsets on various grades. Other important benefits are safety
functions such as mechanical towing and service locking, as well
as excellent service friendliness with good access to all important
components.
The construction has naturally been impact-tested and the
reliability of the suspension function is assured, not the least
thanks to heavy duty bearing housings. Komatsu Comfort Ride
has been developed with meticulous simulations of properties at
Komatsu’s new test centre. Choose this superior cab suspension
solution to get the most out of your Komatsu forwarder.
 COMFORT RIDE
Komatsu Comfort Ride, highlights
• Excellent suspension geometry: 4-point suspension, longer free suspension
travel than other constructions
• Compact design: No machine extension or widening, which makes the
forwarder equally lithe in the forest with or without Comfort Ride.
• Robust cylinders with integrated position sensors and long stroke produce
superior suspension properties
• Improved views with higher position when unloading
• Large support surface between cylinders produces harmonic suspension
• Cylinders with well-shielded and non-contact position sensors provide good
reliability
• Hydraulic sway correction minimises lateral sway
• Automatic level regulation – compensates for centre of gravity offsets in
alternating hilly and flat terrain Suspension in all

• Integrated control in MaxiXplorer. Indication of function status on operating

• Mechanical towing and service locking when the machine is to be towed or
the cab tilted. Simple procedure for locking the cab Automatic level regulation
• Impact-tested construction Keeps the cab level when operating in
alternating flat and steep terrain.
• Tidy and well-planned hose routing for minimal hose wear
• Excellent service access when cab tilted
• Guard plate on right side that does not need to be manually retracted when
the cab is tilted to prevent contact with wheels
• Maintenance-free cylinder link and tie rod bearings simplify periodic
maintenance; no need for lubrication points

TEST RESULTS
Up to 45 % difference on vertical axis, Z-axis (3.5 km/h on
Forestry Research Institute of Sweden’s test track. Measured ±100 mm
with cab with fully rigid mount as reference).

The unique long stroke of the cylin-

cab movements in a way that is far
superior to other solutions.
