Toyota 8FG70U Specifications
The Toyota 8FG70U is a 7.0-tonne (15,432 lb) capacity,
gasoline-powered, seated rider forklift, engineered for demanding heavy-duty
material handling applications. As part of Toyota's 8-Series, this model
integrates the advanced System of Active Stability (SAS) to significantly
enhance operator confidence and truck stability during complex maneuvers with
heavy loads.
Powered by the Toyota 1FS gasoline engine featuring electronic fuel injection
and a distributorless ignition system, it delivers responsive and reliable
power. Its robust construction, wide stance with four front wheels, and
high-output hydraulic system ensure productive, safe, and efficient operation in
lumber yards, steel service centers, and heavy industrial environments.
The Toyota 8FG70U is a counterbalanced forklift truck designed for high-capacity
versatility and safety. It operates on gasoline and is controlled by a seated
operator. Its rated load capacity is 7000 kg (15432 lb) at a 600 mm (24 in) load
centre. The distance from the drive axle centre to the fork face measures 585 mm
(23 in), and the truck has a wheelbase of 2250 mm (88.6 in). The total weight of
the truck when unladen is 9030 kg (19910 lb).
Basic Technical Data: The main component of the Toyota
8FG70U is the Toyota 1FS engine, a four-cylinder gasoline unit with an overhead
valve design. It has a total displacement of 3685 cc (224 cu.in). The engine
features electronic fuel injection and a distributorless ignition system for
precise fuel delivery and reliable starting. It is rated to produce 69 kW (93
hp) at a rated speed of 2550 rpm. Maximum torque is 276 Nm (204 lb-ft) achieved
at 1600 rpm. The fuel tank capacity is 130 L (34 gal).
Lubrication and Cooling: The engine is equipped with a full-flow lubrication
system with a spin-on oil filter. Liquid cooling is maintained by a belt-driven
centrifugal water pump and a radiator with an integrated oil cooler for the
automatic transmission.
Transmission: The 8FG70U is equipped with a Toyota
Powershift transmission. This transmission allows for smooth direction changes
without clutching, enhancing operator efficiency and reducing fatigue. It
features one forward gear and one reverse gear, providing simple and intuitive
control.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a maximum travel speed of 19.0 km/h (11.8
mph) when fully laden and 21.0 km/h (13.0 mph) when unladen. The reverse speeds
are identical to the forward speeds, ensuring consistent maneuverability in both
directions.
Axles and Brakes: The truck uses a drive axle configuration with four driven
wheels on the front, providing enhanced stability and traction for heavy loads.
The service brake system is hydraulic, activated by a foot pedal, providing
reliable stopping power for both laden and unladen operations. A hand-operated
parking brake is also provided.
The electrical system operates at 12 V. Battery
capacity is rated at 48 Ah at a 5-hour discharge rate. The system is responsible
for starting the gasoline engine and powering all lights and operator interface
components.
The Toyota 8FG70U is fitted with pneumatic tyres,
designed for traction and comfort on various surfaces. It has six wheels in
total, with four on the front axle (dual wheels) and two on the rear. All tyres
are size 8.25-15-14PR. The front tread width measures 1440 mm (56.7 in), and the
rear tread width is 1460 mm (57.5 in).
The Toyota 8FG70U features full hydraulic power steering with a steering
cylinder. This system reduces the effort required by the operator to turn the
wheels, especially when the truck is stationary or under load. The mast and fork
carriage can tilt forward by 6 degrees and backward by 12 degrees to facilitate
load handling and secure transport.
The hydraulic system is a core component for lift and
tilt operations. It operates with an auxiliary hydraulic operating pressure of
210 kg/cm2 (2990 psi). The system's rated pump flow is 128 L/min (33.8 gpm),
which supplies the necessary volume for lift, tilt, and auxiliary hydraulic
functions.
The Toyota 8FG70U is equipped with a standard two-stage
mast with high visibility. With the mast fully lowered, the height to the top of
the mast is 2460 mm (96.8 in). The free lift, which is the height the forks can
rise before the mast itself begins to extend, is 125 mm (4.9 in). The maximum
lift height for the standard configuration is 3060 mm (120.5 in), at which point
the mast extends to a total height of 4435 mm (174.6 in) including the load
backrest.
Load Capacity: 15,432 lb (7,000 kg)
Load Centre: 24 in (600 mm)
The lift speed for the 7000 kg (15432 lb) rated load is
0.48 m/s (94 ft/min) when laden and 0.50 m/s (98 ft/min) when unladen. Lowering
speed is controlled at 0.50 m/s (98 ft/min) for both laden and unladen
conditions. The maximum drawbar pull, a measure of tractive effort, is 4700 kg
(10362 lb) for a laden truck and 2030 kg (4475 lb) for an unladen truck. The
maximum gradeability is recorded as 38%.
The length to the face of forks is 3545 mm (139.6 in).
The overall width of the truck is 1965 mm (77.4 in). The standard forks have
dimensions of 65 mm (2.6 in) thick, 150 mm (6 in) wide, and 1220 mm (48 in)
long. The maximum fork spread is 1700 mm (66.9 in) and the minimum is 300 mm
(11.8 in).
The height of the overhead guard is 2310 mm (90.9 in). Ground clearance below
the mast, when the truck is laden, is 125 mm (4.9 in). At the centre of the
wheelbase, ground clearance is 250 mm (9.8 in). The distance from the drive axle
centre to the fork face measures 585 mm (23 in), and the truck has a wheelbase
of 2250 mm (88.6 in).
For maneuvering in aisles, the basic right-angle stacking aisle width, which
requires adding load length and clearance, is 3870 mm (152 in). The outer
turning radius is 3280 mm (129 in). The total operating weight of the truck is
9030 kg (19910 lb).
