Komatsu FG25T-16 Specifications

Basic Information

The Komatsu FG25T-16 is a 2.5-ton (2,500 kg / 5,500 lb) LPG/petrol pneumatic-tire forklift engineered for medium-duty indoor/outdoor industrial operations requiring stable traction, strong lifting performance, efficient fuel consumption, and long-term mechanical durability.

Positioned within Komatsu’s proven 16 Series, the FG25T-16 benefits from improved hydraulic efficiency, refined steering geometry, enhanced operator visibility, strengthened frame rigidity, and an optimized counterweight design. Two engine configurations were offered: Nissan K21 - a 2.1-liter industrial spark-ignition engine known for strong reliability, quiet operation, and low emissions.

GCT GK21 - the electronically-controlled version of the same powerplant family, offering improved fuel efficiency, reduced emissions, and more precise throttle response. Both engine options deliver smooth mid-range torque, making the FG25T-16 well-suited for pallet handling, manufacturing, general logistics, food processing, warehouse loading docks, and material-distribution yards.
