Toyota 8FG40U Specifications
The Toyota 8FG40U is a gasoline-powered forklift that
delivers exceptional power, durability, and efficiency for heavy-duty
operations. Its core strength lies in the robust Toyota 1FS gasoline engine, a
four-cylinder powerplant providing substantial torque and reliability for
continuous use. The machine incorporates advanced technologies including
electronic fuel injection and a distributorless ignition system for improved
performance and fuel economy.
Operator comfort and productivity are enhanced through features like full
hydraulic power steering and a spacious operator compartment. The 8FG40U is
equipped with a Powershift transmission featuring electric shift control and an
automatic transmission oil cooler for durability under heavy loads. With
competitive travel and lift speeds for its class, the 8FG40U is designed to
maximize productivity in challenging environments.
This model is equipped with a standard mast configuration as part of its base
specification. It rolls on heavy-duty pneumatic tires, offering excellent
traction, flotation, and shock absorption for uneven terrain and outdoor
surfaces. The truck's fundamental design incorporates robust construction for
operational stability.
The distance from the centre of the drive axle to the fork face is 19.9 in (505
mm), supported by a wheelbase of 74.8 in (1,900 mm). The total truck weight in
working order is 13,380 lb (6,070 kg). The load distance from the centre of the
drive axle to the fork face is 19.9 in (505 mm).
The Toyota 8FG40U is powered by the Toyota 1FS gasoline
engine, a robust and reliable powerplant specifically designed for heavy-duty
industrial operation. It is a four-cylinder engine with a total displacement of
224 cu in (3,685 cc). This engine produces a rated power of 87 hp (65 kW) at
2,350 rpm, with peak torque of 200 lb-ft (276 Nm) at 1,600 rpm. The engine
features hydraulic valve lifters for quiet operation and reduced maintenance.
The fuel tank holds 24 US gal (90 l) of gasoline.
Lubrication is provided by a pressure-fed system ensuring all moving components
are adequately lubricated. Cooling is managed by a liquid-cooled system with a
large-capacity radiator designed to maintain optimal operating temperatures even
under continuous, demanding use. The engine incorporates electronic fuel
injection and a distributorless ignition system for improved reliability, fuel
efficiency, and reduced emissions.
Transmission: It is fitted with a heavy-duty Powershift
transmission with electric shift control, which facilitates smooth direction
changes without the need for clutching. This transmission operates with a single
forward and a single reverse gear and includes an automatic transmission oil
cooler for enhanced durability under heavy loads.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 13.7 mph (22.0 km/h)
in both forward and reverse, and an unladen travel speed of 15.0 mph (24.0 km/h)
in both forward and reverse.
Axles: The drive axle is located at the front, featuring a durable design for
heavy load support. The rear steer axle is of a robust, heavy-duty construction.
Brakes: The service brake system is hydraulic and operates on the drive wheels.
A hand-operated, mechanically actuated independent parking brake is also
provided for secure parking.
The electrical system is engineered to reliably support
the engine, safety features, and lighting. It operates on a standard 12-volt
architecture with a 12-volt battery rated at 48 AH (5 HR). The system powers the
starter motor, electronic fuel injection, distributorless ignition system, and
all essential lighting components such as headlights, tail lights, and turn
indicators for safe operation in low-light conditions.
The chassis provides a rigid and durable foundation,
constructed from heavy-gauge steel to support all major components under heavy
load stress.
Wheels and Tires: The 8FG40U is fitted with heavy-duty pneumatic tires with 2
front and 2 rear wheels.
Front: 250-15-18PR
Rear: 7.00-12-12PR
Wheel Tread:
Front: 43.9 in (1,115 mm)
Rear: 43.3 in (1,100 mm)
Drive Configuration: The vehicle utilizes a 2-wheel drive configuration, with
the two front wheels serving as the driven wheels.
Steering: The steering system on the Toyota 8FG40U is a full hydraulic power
steering system. This provides the operator with exceptionally smooth and
effortless control, which is particularly beneficial during low-speed
maneuvering and in confined spaces with heavy loads. The system is engineered
for precise response and reduced operator fatigue during extended shift
operation.
The hydraulic system is responsible for powering the
lifting, tilting, and any auxiliary functions. It utilizes a reliable gear-type
pump to ensure high efficiency and pressure. The system operates at a pressure
of 2,630 psi (185 kg/cm2) for powering attachments. The main hydraulic pump has
a rated flow of 33.8 gpm (128 lpm), ensuring responsive lift and tilt speeds for
efficient handling of heavy loads. The mast tilts forward by 6 degrees and
backward by 12 degrees, facilitating precise load engagement and secure
transport.
The standard mast configuration is designed for high
visibility and durability.
Mast Height (Lowered): 83 in (2,110 mm)
Maximum Fork Height: 120 in (3,050 mm)
Mast Extended Height (Top of Load Backrest): 168.1 in (4,270 mm)
Free Lift: 4.3 in (110 mm). This feature allows for lifting loads at low heights
without increasing the overall mast height, a valuable function when entering
trailers or working under low-clearance structures.
Load Capacity: 8,800 lb (4,000 kg)
Load Centre: 24 in (600 mm)
Lift Speed (Laden/Unladen): 103 ft/min (31 m/min).
