Toyota 8FG35U Specifications
The Toyota 8FG35U is a gasoline-powered,
counterbalanced forklift truck produced in various model years, with examples
documented from 2008 through 2023. This rider-seated model is engineered for
demanding material handling tasks requiring a rated load of 7700 lb or 3500 kg.
The machine is powered by the Toyota 1FS engine, a four-cylinder gasoline unit
equipped with electronic fuel injection and a distributorless ignition system.
A defining characteristic of this forklift is the Operator Presence Sensing
(OPS) system with an adjustable seat mechanism that inhibits operation if the
operator is not correctly seated. The machine also features hydraulic valve
lifters, an automatic transmission with oil cooler, and electric shift control.
Additional operator-focused features include a suspension seat, tilt steering
column, and comprehensive safety lighting systems.
The Toyota 8FG35U is a four-wheeled forklift with a load capacity of 7700 lb or
3500 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, suitable for indoor and outdoor use on improved surfaces. The
full hydraulic power steering with steering wheel ball ensures precise and
effortless control.
Key safety innovations include the Operator Presence Sensing system, backup
mirrors, amber strobe lights, and a comprehensive lighting package comprising
brake lights, white reverse lights, and amber front and rear turn signals. The
transmission type is Powershift with one forward and one reverse gear.
Basic Technical Data: The forklift is powered by the
Toyota 1FS engine, a four-cylinder gasoline unit. With a displacement of 224
cu.in or 3685 cc, this engine produces 87 hp or 65 kW of power at a rated speed
of 2350 r/min according to SAE standards. The engine delivers peak torque of 200
lb-ft or 276 Nm at 1600 r/min. Electronic fuel injection and a distributorless
ignition system optimize performance and fuel efficiency. The fuel tank capacity
is 24 US gal or 90 L.
Lubrication: The engine lubrication system is a forced-feed type, incorporating
hydraulic valve lifters that maintain proper valve lash without adjustment. The
system employs 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.
Transmission: The Toyota 8FG35U 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 during extended
use. Electric shift control provides precise and reliable gear engagement.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 13.7 mph or 22.0
km/h and an unladen speed of 15.0 mph or 24.0 km/h in both forward and reverse
directions, enabling efficient movement across the worksite.
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. The wheelbase measures 74.8 in or 1900 mm.
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.
The electrical system operates on a standard 12 V
architecture with a 48 Ah battery capacity at the 5-hour rate. It includes a
maintenance-free battery to power the starter motor, electronic controls, and
lighting.
The system encompasses a starter, an alternator
to charge the battery while the engine runs, and a comprehensive wiring
harness connecting all electrical components, including the OPS safety
systems. The lighting package includes brake lights, white reverse
lights, amber front and rear turn signals, front work lights, and an
amber strobe light for enhanced visibility.
Wheel Drive: The Toyota 8FG35U 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
tread width, the distance between the centre lines of the left and right wheels,
is 43.9 in or 1115 mm for the front and 43.3 in or 1100 mm for the rear.
Tires: This model is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard. The tyre size for
the front is 250-15-18PR, and for the rear, it is 7.00-12-12PR. These tyres
provide cushioning and traction.
Steering: The steering system is full hydraulic power steering, making
manoeuvring the truck effortless for the operator. The steering column features
a tilt function, allowing the operator to adjust the steering wheel to a
comfortable position. A steering wheel ball provides additional control during
maneuvering.
The hydraulic system is designed for efficient lifting
and tilting operations. It operates at a pressure of 2630 psi or 185 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.
The Toyota 8FG35U can be equipped with various mast
types including V mast configurations. Specifications for a standard mast
include a lowered height of 83 in or 2110 mm. The mast has a free lift of 4.3 in
or 110 mm, allowing the forks to be raised to this height without increasing the
mast's overall height. The standard maximum fork height is 120 in or 3050 mm, at
which point the mast extends to a height of 168.1 in or 4270 mm.
The fork carriage is class/type III according to DIN 15 173 and has a maximum
fork spread of 46.1 in or 1170 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: 7,700 lb (3,500 kg)
Load Centre: 24 in (600 mm)
The lift speed with a load is 0.51 m/s or 100 ft/min,
and without a load, it is 0.55 m/s or 108 ft/min. The lowering speed is 0.50 m/s
or 98 ft/min for laden conditions and 0.55 m/s or 108 ft/min for unladen
conditions. The maximum drawbar pull, or the pulling force, is 7900 lb or 3600
kg when laden and 3200 lb or 1450 kg when unladen. Its gradeability, the ability
to ascend a slope with a load, is 42%. The maximum gradeability figure is 47%
for a laden truck.
The overall length of the truck, including the forks,
is 3995 mm or 157.3 in, while the length to the face of the forks is 115.2 in or
2925 mm. The overall width is 53.1 in or 1350 mm, and the height of the overhead
guard is 87 in or 2210 mm. The seat height is 43.7 in or 1110 mm, and the
coupling height is 370 mm or 14.6 in. The standard fork dimensions are 2 in or
50 mm thick, 6 in or 150 mm wide, and 42 in or 1070 mm long. The load distance
from the centreline of the front axle to the front face of forks is 19.9 in or
505 mm.
Ground clearance beneath the mast with a laden truck is 4.7 in or 120 mm, and at
the centre of the wheelbase, it is 7.9 in or 200 mm. The basic right-angle
stacking aisle width, adding load length and clearance, is 122.5 in or 3120 mm.
The outer turning radius is 103 in or 2610 mm, and the internal turning radius
is 33.1 in or 840 mm. The truck weight is 12570 lb or 5700 kg, though this can
vary depending on the mast and attachments.
