Komatsu FD25-11 Specifications

Basic Information

The Komatsu FD25-11 is a 2.5-ton (2,500 kg / 5,500 lb) diesel pneumatic-tire forklift designed for high-reliability material-handling operations in industrial, construction, agricultural, and logistics environments. As part of the early Komatsu 11-Series, the FD25-11 established a strong reputation for durability, excellent load stability, efficient fuel usage, and long-term service life.

Powered by the Komatsu-licensed 4D95S diesel engine, this model provides consistent torque at low RPM, easy cold-starting, simplified service access, and dependable performance under heavy loads. The forklift incorporates a welded steel chassis, industrial torque-converter transmission, hydrostatic steering, load-sensing hydraulics, a reinforced mast assembly, and a balanced counterweight structure.

The operator compartment is designed with clear visibility, intuitive mechanical controls, a supportive seat, and low vibration levels. The FD25-11 remains a widely trusted machine in numerous industries due to its mechanical simplicity, strength, and ease of maintenance.
