Toyota 52-8FDF25 Specifications

Basic Information

The Toyota 52-8FDF25 is a modern, mid-capacity diesel-powered forklift belonging to Toyota’s 8-Series diesel line, designed for highly demanding industrial applications requiring consistent performance, rugged reliability, and strong load-handling capabilities. With a nominal lifting capacity of 2,500 kilograms (5,500 pounds), the 52-8FDF25 meets the needs of manufacturing plants, steel and metal-processing facilities, distribution warehouses, lumber yards, ports, and heavy logistics environments.

Pneumatic tires allow dependable traction on uneven outdoor surfaces, and Toyota’s advanced System of Active Stability (SAS) enhances operator safety by continuously monitoring steering angle, mast position, and load movement.

Powered by Toyota’s highly efficient industrial diesel engines—such as the 1DZ-II or 1ZS diesel—the 52-8FDF25 delivers powerful low-end torque with excellent fuel economy. Operators benefit from a low-vibration cab design, ergonomic lever layout, and generous visibility through the mast.

Maintenance teams appreciate the wide-opening engine hood, simplified servicing layout, long-life components, and rugged drivetrain. The 52-8FDF25 has become a preferred forklift for industrial fleets due to its exceptional service life, predictable handling, efficient operating cost profile, and dependable performance across a wide range of working conditions.
