Toyota 72-8FDJ35 Specifications
The Toyota 72-8FDJ35 is a heavy-duty 3.5-ton
(7,000-7,700 lb class) diesel-powered forklift engineered for industrial
operations requiring exceptional durability, reliable lift performance, high
traction capability, and long-term mechanical stability. Built within Toyota’s
8-Series J-chassis lineup, this model combines a reinforced frame, large
pneumatic tires, a robust counterweight, and a high-capacity hydraulic system.
Its design supports outdoor industrial conditions — including lumber yards,
fabricated metal plants, ports, concrete and block yards, construction supply
depots, heavy manufacturing, and multi-shift material-handling sites.
Power is provided by the Toyota 2Z diesel engine, a rugged, fuel-efficient,
durable 4-cylinder engine designed specifically for forklift applications. Known
for excellent torque at low engine speeds, smooth throttle response, low
maintenance requirements, and long engine life, the 2Z diesel delivers
predictable power delivery and excellent fuel efficiency. Combined with Toyota’s
System of Active Stability (SAS), Operator Presence System (OPS), ergonomic
cabin layout, and high-visibility mast architecture, the 72-8FDJ35 supports
operator safety, reliable control, and consistent productivity throughout long
operating shifts.
The J-series platform increases axle width, tire size, chassis strength, and
hydraulic capacity compared to standard 8-Series models. This forklift is
intended for heavy palletized materials, steel and pipe bundles, dense loads,
and large outdoor yard applications where ruggedness, stability, and consistent
lifting ability are required.
