Toyota 8FG50U Specifications
The Toyota 8FG50U is a gasoline-powered,
counterbalanced forklift truck produced in various model years from
approximately 2014 through 2025. This rider-seated model is engineered for
demanding material handling tasks requiring a rated load of 11000 lb or 5000 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.
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 mid-capacity outdoor applications including lumber yards,
construction sites, and other outdoor environments.
The Toyota 8FG50U is a four-wheeled forklift with a load capacity of 11000 lb or
5000 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
transmission type is Powershift with one forward and one reverse gear. The
machine weighs 15740 lb or 7140 kg in standard configuration. Toyota's System of
Active Stability enhances operational safety by electronically monitoring and
controlling mast and rear axle movements to help prevent tip-overs.
Basic Technical Data: The forklift is powered by the
Toyota 1FS engine, a four-cylinder gasoline or LPG/dual fuel 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 271 Nm at 1600 r/min. Electronic fuel
injection and a distributorless ignition system optimize performance and fuel
efficiency. The fuel tank capacity is 32 US gal or 120 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.
Transmission: The Toyota 8FG50U 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 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.
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 78.7 in or 2000 mm. The
tread width is 45.3 in or 1150 mm for the front and 43.3 in or 1100 mm for the
rear.
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.
Wheel Drive: The Toyota 8FG50U 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.
Tires: This model is fitted with pneumatic tyres as standard. The tyre size for
the front is 300-15-20PR, and for the rear, it is 7.00-12-12PR. Alternative tyre
specifications from some sources list front tyres as 8.25-15. 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.
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 8FG50U can be equipped with various mast
types including two-stage and three-stage configurations. Specifications for a
standard V mast include a lowered height of 96.5 in or 2450 mm. The mast has a
free lift of 4.7 in or 120 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 174.6 in or
4435 mm.
Alternative mast configurations offer maximum lift heights up to 187 in or 219
in depending on specification. The fork carriage has a maximum fork spread of
45.7 in or 1160 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: 11,000 lb (5,000 kg)
Load Centre: 24 in (600 mm)
The lift speed with a load is 94 ft/min or 0.48 m/s,
and without a load, it is 106 ft/min or 0.48 m/s. The lowering speed is 106
ft/min or 0.54 m/s for laden conditions. The maximum drawbar pull, or the
pulling force, is 7937 lb or 3600 kg when laden and 3770 lb or 1710 kg when
unladen. Its gradeability, the ability to ascend a slope with a load, is 31%.
The overall length of the truck, including the forks,
is 144 in or 3658 mm varying with fork length, while the length to the face of
the forks is 124.8 in or 3170 mm. The overall width is 57.1 in or 1450 mm. The
height of the overhead guard is 90.6 in or 2300 mm. The load distance from the
centreline of the front axle to the front face of forks is 21.9 in or 555 mm.
The standard fork dimensions are 2.4 in or 60 mm thick, 6 in or 150 mm wide, and
48 in or 1220 mm long.
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 9.1 in or 230 mm. The basic right-angle
stacking aisle width, adding load length and clearance, is 132.5 in or 3370 mm.
The outer turning radius is 110.5 in or 2810 mm. The truck weight is 15740 lb or
7140 kg, though this can vary depending on the mast and attachments, with some
configurations weighing 16695 lb or 7570 kg or 7270 kg.
