Komatsu FG25-8 Specifications

Basic Information

The Komatsu FG25-8 is a 2.5-ton (2,500 kg / 5,500 lb) LPG/petrol-powered pneumatic-tire forklift designed for industrial operations requiring reliable mid-capacity handling, excellent maneuverability, smooth engine performance, and low operating cost.

As part of the respected Komatsu -8 Series, the FG25-8 is widely used in warehousing, logistics terminals, manufacturing plants, pallet-handling depots, fabrication facilities, agricultural processing, and general indoor-outdoor material-handling environments.

The FG25-8 is equipped with the proven Nissan H20 industrial engine - a rugged, smooth-running 2.0-liter inline-4 spark-ignition powerplant trusted across many forklift platforms for decades. The engine’s mechanical simplicity, strong torque curve, low fuel usage, and easy serviceability make the FG25-8 a long-term fleet favorite.

The machine uses a reinforced welded chassis, torque-converter powershift Transmission, hydrostatic steering, efficient hydraulic system, heavy-duty mast architecture, and an operator station engineered for strong visibility, low vibration, and intuitive control. Technicians appreciate its simple layout, wide-opening hood, centralized service points, durable electric harnesses, and reliable components.
