Toyota 8FD80U Specifications

Basic Information

The Toyota 8FD80U is a diesel-powered, counterbalanced forklift truck produced from approximately 2014 through 2025. This rider-seated model is engineered for demanding material handling tasks requiring a rated load of 17500 lb or 8000 kg. The machine is powered by the Toyota 1KD diesel engine, a four-cylinder unit equipped with a DOHC design and Tier 4 Final emission control including a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst. The 8-Series Large Capacity Pneumatic forklifts offer significant advancements in durability, ergonomics, productivity and fuel cost savings.

The forklift includes the System of Active Stability (SAS), bolt-on overhead guard, key lowering interlock, and neutral engine start safety switch. The machine is ideally suited for large capacity outdoor applications including construction sites, lumber yards, brick and stone distribution centers, specialized warehouses and heavy duty manufacturing plants, navigating easily in gravel, dirt and other common outdoor terrains.

The Toyota 8FD80U is a four-wheeled forklift with a load capacity of 17500 lb or 8000 kg at a 24 in or 600 mm load centre. Its design prioritises stability and manoeuvrability in demanding environments. The machine is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard. The transmission type is Powershift with one forward and one reverse gear. The machine weighs 21920 lb or 9940 kg. Toyota's System of Active Stability enhances operational safety by electronically monitoring and controlling mast and rear axle movements to help prevent tip-overs.

Engine Specs

Basic Technical Data: The forklift is powered by the Toyota 1KD engine, a four-cylinder diesel unit. With a displacement of 182 cu.in or 2982 cc, this engine produces 74 hp or 55 kW of power at a rated speed of 2200 r/min according to SAE standards. The engine delivers peak torque of 220 lb-ft or 300 Nm at 1500 r/min. The engine meets Tier 4 Final emission standards with a Diesel Oxidation Catalyst. The fuel tank capacity is 34 US gal or 130 L.

Lubrication: The engine lubrication system is a forced-feed type, employing a gear pump to circulate oil throughout the engine block and cylinder head, ensuring all moving components are adequately lubricated for reduced friction and prolonged engine life. The system includes a full-flow oil filter to remove contaminants.

Cooling: Engine temperature is regulated by a liquid cooling system. This system comprises a radiator, a water pump, a thermostat, and a cooling fan. The water pump circulates coolant through the engine jackets to absorb heat, which is then dissipated as it passes through the radiator core.

Drive Train

Transmission: The Toyota 8FD80U is equipped with a Powershift transmission featuring one forward and one reverse gear. This transmission allows for smooth direction changes without the need for a clutch pedal, reducing operator fatigue during frequent shuttling.

Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 11.8 mph or 19.0 km/h and an unladen speed of 13.0 mph or 21.0 km/h.

Axles: The front axle is a rigid, drive axle that carries the majority of the load, while the rear axle is a steer axle. The rear axle is designed to oscillate, allowing all wheels to maintain ground contact on uneven surfaces, which is crucial for stability.

Brakes: The service brake system is hydraulic, providing reliable and controlled stopping power. This system uses hydraulic pressure to apply the brakes, offering a consistent pedal feel and effective deceleration. The parking brake is hand-operated, engaging mechanically to secure the machine when parked.

Electrical System

The electrical system operates on a 12 V architecture with a 70 Ah battery capacity at the 5-hour rate. Some dealer listings indicate a 24 V system, which may represent different configurations or model years. It includes a maintenance-free battery to power the starter motor, electronic controls, and lighting. The system encompasses a starter with electric operation, an alternator to charge the battery while the engine runs, and a comprehensive wiring harness connecting all electrical components.

Wheels and Tires

Wheel Drive: The Toyota 8FD80U features a 4-wheel drive configuration from the specification sheet, with four wheels on the front axle providing tractive effort and two wheels on the rear axle (4x2 configuration).

Wheels: The forklift uses a 4x2 wheel configuration, meaning four wheels on the front axle and two on the rear. The front wheels are the driven wheels.

Tires: This model is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard. The tyre size for both front and rear is 8.25-15-14PR. Auction listings frequently note solid pneumatic tyres as common equipment. These tyres provide cushioning and traction for outdoor applications.

Steering: The steering system is full hydraulic power steering, making manoeuvring the truck effortless for the operator. The steering system provides precise control during stacking and manoeuvring in confined spaces. An adjustable seat with suspension system enhances operator comfort during extended operation.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is designed for efficient lifting and tilting operations. It operates at a pressure of 2990 psi or 210 kg/cm2 for powering attachments. The system pump delivers a rated flow of 33.8 gpm or 128 L/min, ensuring responsive mast and fork carriage movements. This system powers the lift cylinders for raising the mast and the tilt cylinders for mast forward and backward movement. Auxiliary hydraulic functions support additional attachments such as sideshift and fork positioners, which are commonly equipped on these units.

Mast Data

The Toyota 8FD80U is commonly equipped with two-stage mast configurations. Specifications for a standard V mast include a lowered height of 102.8 in or 2610 mm. The mast has a free lift of 5.1 in or 130 mm, allowing the forks to be raised to this height without increasing the mast's overall height.

The standard maximum fork height is 120.8 in or 3070 mm, at which point the mast extends to a height of 174.8 in or 4440 mm. The fork carriage has a maximum fork spread of 66.9 in or 1700 mm with a minimum spread of 11.8 in or 300 mm. The mast and fork carriage can tilt forward by 6 degrees and backward by 12 degrees to facilitate load handling and secure transport.

Load Capacity

Load Capacity: 17,500 lb (8,000 kg)
Load Centre: 24 in (600 mm)

Performance Data

The lift speed with a load is 73 ft/min or 0.37 m/s, and without a load, it is 86 ft/min or 0.44 m/s. The lowering speed is 104 ft/min or 0.53 m/s for laden conditions and 94 ft/min or 0.48 m/s for unladen conditions. The maximum drawbar pull, or the pulling force, is 10150 lb or 4600 kg when laden and 4480 lb or 2030 kg when unladen. Its gradeability, the ability to ascend a slope with a load, is 26%.

Dimensions and Weight

The overall length to the face of the forks is 141.3 in or 3590 mm. The overall width is 77.4 in or 1965 mm. The height of the overhead guard is 90.9 in or 2310 mm. The load distance from the centreline of the front axle to the front face of forks is 23.2 in or 590 mm. The standard fork dimensions are 2.8 in or 70 mm thick, 6 in or 150 mm wide, and 48 in or 1220 mm long. The wheelbase measures 88.6 in or 2250 mm. The tread width is 56.7 in or 1440 mm for the front and 57.5 in or 1460 mm for the rear.

Ground clearance beneath the mast with a laden truck is 4.9 in or 125 mm, and at the centre of the wheelbase, it is 9.8 in or 250 mm. The basic right-angle stacking aisle width, adding load length and clearance, is 154 in or 3910 mm. The outer turning radius is 130.5 in or 3320 mm. The truck weight is 21920 lb or 9940 kg.
