Toyota 8FDU20 Specifications

Basic Information

The Toyota 8FDU20 is a diesel-powered, counterbalanced forklift truck produced from 2013 through 2025. This rider-seated model is engineered for demanding material handling tasks requiring a rated load capacity of 4000 lb or 1.8 t. The machine is powered by the Toyota 1ZS engine, a three-cylinder diesel unit with a displacement of 1.8 liters.

The 8-Series diesel forklifts offer outstanding comfort and excellent operability with high onboard technology contributing to a safe workspace. The forklift includes Toyota's System of Active Stability (SAS) with Active Control Rear Stabilizer and Active Mast Control, the Operator Presence Sensing System (OPSS), bolt-on overhead guard, key lowering interlock, and neutral engine start safety switch.

The machine features a welded steel body and frame construction, load sensing hydrostatic power steering, automatic transmission with oil cooler, hydraulic valve lifters, and electric shift control. Available attachments include integral and hang-on sideshifters and integral sideshifting fork positioners.

The Toyota 8FDU20 is a four-wheeled forklift with a load capacity of 4000 lb or 1814 kg at a 24 in or 600 mm load centre. The nominal load at centre of gravity is 1.8 t. Its design prioritises stability and manoeuvrability in demanding environments. The machine is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard, suitable for indoor and outdoor use on improved surfaces. The transmission type is Powershift with one forward and one reverse gear.

Engine Specs

Basic Technical Data: The forklift is powered by the Toyota 1ZS engine, a three-cylinder diesel unit. With a displacement of 110 cu.in or 1.8 L, this engine produces 55 hp or 41 kW of power at a rated speed of 2200 rpm. The engine delivers peak torque of 148 lb-ft or 201 Nm at 1600 rpm. The engine meets Tier 4f emission standards. The engine is equipped with hydraulic valve lifters. The liquid fuel tank capacity is 15.9 US gal or 60 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 8FDU20 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. The system includes an integral oil cooler to maintain proper operating temperatures. Electric shift control provides precise and reliable gear engagement.

Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 11.8 mph or 19.0 km/h forward and reverse. The unladen travel speed is 12.1 mph or 19.5 km/h forward and reverse.

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 mechanical, hand-operated, engaging mechanically to secure the machine when parked.

Electrical System

The electrical system operates on a 12 V architecture. It includes a maintenance-free battery with sealed construction and moisture-resistant electric connectors for enhanced durability in outdoor environments. The system encompasses a starter, an alternator with built-in regulator to charge the battery while the engine runs, and a comprehensive wiring harness connecting all electrical components, including the SAS and OPSS safety systems. The dash-mounted instrument display provides gauges and warning indicators.

Wheels and Tires

Wheel Drive: The Toyota 8FDU20 features a 2-wheel drive configuration, with the front wheels providing the tractive effort (2x driven wheels).

Wheels: The forklift uses a 2x2 wheel configuration, meaning two wheels on the front axle and two on the rear. The front wheels are the driven wheels. The track width, the distance between the centre lines of the left and right wheels, is 1150 mm or 45.3 in.

Tires: This model is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard. The tyre size for the front is 7.00-12-12PR. The tyre size for the rear is 6.00-9-10PR. These tyres provide cushioning and traction for outdoor applications. The machine features wide tread and plate-iron front fenders for durability.

Steering: The steering system is load sensing hydrostatic power steering, making manoeuvring the truck effortless for the operator. The steering system includes synchronized steering and a small-diameter 11.8-inch two-spoke steering wheel with a knob for enhanced control.

The steering column allows seamless adjustment for different operator preferences. Load Sensing Power Steering (LSPS) adjusts the amount of power-steering fluid according to the load burden on the rear axle, reducing energy loss and helping to enhance fuel economy. The system includes a hydraulic accumulator for consistent steering performance.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system is designed for efficient lifting and tilting operations with fully oil-charged lift cylinders. It operates at an auxiliary function pressure relief of 2275 psi or 157 bar for powering attachments. The system pump delivers a rated flow of 19 gpm or 72 L/min maximum for auxiliary functions.

This system powers the lift cylinders for raising the mast and the tilt cylinders for mast forward and backward movement. Cowl-mounted hydraulic control levers with rubber boot covers provide convenient operator access. Auxiliary hydraulic functions support additional attachments such as integral and hang-on sideshifters and integral sideshifting fork positioners. The system includes tilt cylinder boots for protection.

Mast Data

The Toyota 8FDU20 can be equipped with various mast types including 2-stage limited free lift mast (V) and 3-stage configurations. Specifications for a standard mast include a maximum fork height of 131.5 in or 3340 mm. The mast lowered height is 84.5 in or 2146 mm. The mast has a free lift of 6.1 in or 155 mm, allowing the forks to be raised to this height without increasing the mast's overall height.

Alternative mast configurations offer maximum lift heights up to 187 in or 4750 mm. The load distance from the centreline of the front axle to the front face of forks is 18.5 in or 470 mm. The fork carriage width is 40 in or 1016 mm. The mast and fork carriage can tilt forward by 6 degrees and backward by 11 degrees to facilitate load handling and secure transport.

Load Capacity

Load Capacity: 4,000 lb (1,814 kg)
Load Centre: 24 in (600 mm)

Performance Data

The lift speed with a load is 121 fpm or 0.615 m/s, and without a load, it is 129 fpm or 0.655 m/s. The lowering speed with a load is 98 fpm or 0.500 m/s, and without a load, it is 98 fpm or 0.500 m/s. The maximum drawbar pull, or the pulling force, is 4250 lb or 1930 kg when laden and 2040 lb or 925 kg when unladen. Its gradeability, the ability to ascend a slope with a load, is 39%. The maximum gradeability without load is 23%.

Dimensions and Weight

The overall length of the truck, including the forks, is 3695 mm or 145.5 in, while the length to the face of the forks is 101.4 in or 2575 mm. The overall width is 45.3 in or 1150 mm. The height of the overhead guard is 83.1 in or 2110 mm. The standard fork dimensions are 1.6 in or 40 mm thick, 5 in or 125 mm wide, and 42 in or 1067 mm long. Alternative fork lengths of 48 in are available depending on configuration. The wheelbase measures 65 in or 1651 mm. The tread width is 37.8 in or 960 mm for the front and 38 in or 965 mm for the rear.

Ground clearance minimum with load is 3.7 in or 94 mm. Ground clearance at the centre of wheelbase is 5.5 in or 140 mm. The basic right-angle stacking aisle width, adding load length and clearance, is 103.2 in or 2621 mm. The outer turning radius is 84.7 in or 2150 mm. The gross weight (empty) of the machine is 7230 lb or 3280 kg. Weight distribution with full load places 9810 lb or 4450 kg on the front axle and 1420 lb or 644 kg on the rear axle. Without load, weight distribution shifts to 3180 lb or 1442 kg on the front axle and 4050 lb or 1837 kg on the rear axle.
