Komatsu FD100-8 Specifications

Basic Information

The Komatsu FD100-8 is a high-capacity 10-ton (22,000 lb class) diesel-powered pneumatic-tire forklift engineered for the highest levels of durability, lifting strength, and long-term performance in demanding industrial environments. Designed for continuous multi-shift operations, the FD100-8 incorporates heavy-duty structural fabrication, a wide-track mast support system, reinforced driveline components, and advanced operator safety technology.

It is intended for steel and metal production facilities, port terminals, mining-support operations, lumber and timber yards, container handling, precast concrete plants, and heavy logistics depots where stability, torque, and reliability are critical.

Central to the FD100-8’s performance is the Komatsu SAA6D107E-1 engine, a 6.69-liter turbocharged diesel engine built specifically for industrial and heavy-equipment applications. The engine provides high low-RPM torque, fast throttle response, and excellent fuel efficiency, while its electronically controlled high-pressure fuel system ensures combustion stability and reduced emissions. Its robust cooling and lubrication systems allow the engine to withstand extended heavy-load operation even in harsh environmental conditions.

The forklift integrates a Komatsu heavy-duty powershift transmission, planetary reduction drive axle, sealed wet-disc braking system, and a high-flow hydraulic circuit capable of supporting large-capacity lift cylinders. Operators benefit from a large, comfortable operating compartment, clear mast visibility, intuitive controls, and Komatsu’s proven safety systems. The FD100-8 is engineered for long service intervals, low fuel consumption, and maximum uptime in severe industrial applications.
