Toyota 8FG80U Specifications

Basic Information

The Toyota 8FG80U represents a significant advancement in the large-capacity pneumatic forklift class, offering a robust combination of power, durability, and advanced safety features. Powered by the sophisticated Toyota 1FS gasoline engine with 93 hp, this model delivers reliable torque for lifting and maneuvering loads up to 17500 lb (8000 kg).

Its design prioritizes operator comfort with a spacious cabin, memory tilt steering column, and vibration-isolating power steering, reducing fatigue during extended shifts. The 8FG80U is distinguished by its comprehensive safety package, including SAS and Operator Presence Sensing (OPS), which actively monitor and stabilize the truck during operation to help prevent tip-overs.

With rugged construction features including heavy-duty pneumatic tires, a durable mast design, and moisture-resistant electrical connections, this forklift is engineered to withstand the toughest outdoor conditions. The 8FG80U offers travel speeds up to 13.0 mph (21.0 km/h) unladen and a tight turning radius of 130.5 in (3320 mm), providing excellent maneuverability for its class.

The Toyota 8FG80U is a rider-seated forklift powered by a gasoline engine with electronic fuel injection. It has a load capacity of 17500 lb at a 24 in load centre, equivalent to 8000 kg at a 600 mm load centre. The distance from the drive axle centre to the fork face is 23.2 in or 590 mm.

Engine Specs

The Toyota 8FG80U is powered by the Toyota 1FS engine, a sophisticated four-cylinder gasoline power unit known for its reliability, fuel efficiency, and advanced electronic controls.

Basic Technical Data: The engine is a four-cylinder gasoline with a displacement of 224 cu in or 3685 cc. It features an Overhead Valve (OHV) design with electronic fuel injection and a distributorless ignition system for optimal performance and efficiency. It produces a rated power of 93 hp at 2550 rpm, equivalent to 69 kW at 2550 rpm. The engine delivers rated torque of 200 lb-ft at 1600 rpm, equivalent to 276 Nm at 1600 rpm. The gasoline fuel tank capacity is 34 US gal or 130 l

Lubrication: The engine employs a forced lubrication system with a gear-driven pump. Routine maintenance, including oil and filter changes, is mandated at specific hourly intervals as outlined in the periodic maintenance schedule to ensure longevity and performance. The system uses a specific grade of engine oil, the capacity of which is detailed in the service refill capacities section.

Cooling: Engine temperature is regulated by a pressurized liquid cooling system, which uses a long-life coolant (LLC). Regular inspection of coolant levels and condition, as well as monitoring the radiator, water pump, and hoses for wear and debris, is part of standard preventative maintenance.

Drive Train

Transmission: The 8FG80U is equipped with a powershift transmission featuring one forward and one reverse gear according to standard specifications, though some sources indicate a 2-speed forward and reverse configuration may be available. This transmission allows for direction changes with a simple flip of a lever, without the need for clutching, enhancing operator efficiency and reducing fatigue.

Travel Speed: This forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 11.8 mph or 19.0 km/h in both forward and reverse. When unladen, the travel speed increases to 13.0 mph or 21.0 km/h.

Axles: The front axle is a drive axle with 4 wheels, designed to bear the majority of the load during lifting operations. The rear axle is a steer axle with 2 wheels, which pivots to maintain ground contact on uneven surfaces. Both are robustly constructed to handle the stresses of daily use.

Brakes: Service braking is handled by a hydraulic braking system with hydraulic booster, providing reliable and progressive deceleration essential for safety when handling loads. The parking brake is hand-operated with a mechanical lever type.

Electrical System

The electrical system operates at a standard 12 volts with a battery capacity of 48 Ah (5-hour rating). The system powers the starter motor, lights, and electronic control units. It includes moisture-resistant electrical connections for reliable operation in outdoor environments. The System of Active Stability (SAS) and other electronic controllers rely on a network of sensors and actuators to function correctly. The system also includes a multifunction display and Controller Area Network (CAN-BUS) communications for enhanced diagnostics and monitoring.

Wheels and Tires

The chassis is a heavy-duty, welded steel structure that supports all major components: the engine, drivetrain, counterweight, and mast.

The truck is fitted with pneumatic tires, which provide stable performance and shock absorption on uneven surfaces common in outdoor applications. The front and rear tires are both size 8.25-15-14PR. The wheel configuration features 4 driven wheels at the front and 2 steer wheels at the rear. The front tread width is 56.7 in or 1440 mm, and the rear tread width is 57.5 in or 1460 mm.

The 8FG80U features full hydraulic power steering with load-sensing technology, which significantly reduces the effort required to turn the wheel, especially when the truck is stationary or moving slowly under load. This system enhances maneuverability and reduces operator fatigue. The truck also includes a memory tilt steering column, allowing operators to adjust the steering wheel to their preferred position for added comfort and personalized ergonomics.

Hydraulic System

The hydraulic system powers the lifting, tilting, and auxiliary functions such as sideshift and fork positioner. The system is designed for precise load control and efficient operation. It includes a hydraulic pump, control valve, lift cylinders, and tilt cylinders. The operating pressure for attachments is rated at 2990 psi or 210 kg/cm2. The rated pump flow is 33.8 gpm or 128 lpm.

Mast Data

The forklift can be equipped with various mast types, including two-stage and three-stage configurations. The standard mast configuration with V mast has a lowered height of 102.8 in or 2610 mm. It provides a free lift of 5.1 in or 130 mm, enabling lifting in low-clearance areas before the mast sections begin to extend. The maximum fork height is 120.8 in or 3070 mm.

The mast tilts forward by 6 degrees and backward by 12 degrees to facilitate load handling and secure transport. The standard fork dimensions are 2.8 in thick, 6.0 in wide, and 48 in long, which is 70 mm by 150 mm by 1220 mm. The maximum fork spread is 66.9 in or 1700 mm, with a minimum spread of 11.8 in or 300 mm.

Load Capacity

Load Capacity: 17,500 lb (8,000 kg)
Load Centre: 24 in (600 mm)

Performance Data

The lift speed with a load is 0.41 m/s or 81 ft/min. Lowering speeds are 98 ft/min (0.50 m/s) laden. The truck can generate a maximum drawbar pull of 10150 lb or 4600 kg when laden. Its gradeability is 26 percent when laden.

Dimensions and Weight

The overall length of the truck, including the standard 48 in or 1220 mm forks, is 141.3 in or 3590 mm when measured to the fork face. The overall width is 77.4 in or 1965 mm. The height to the top of the overhead guard is 90.9 in or 2310 mm. The truck has a wheelbase of 88.6 in or 2250 mm.

Ground clearance, laden, is 4.9 in or 125 mm below the mast, and 9.8 in or 250 mm at the centre of the wheelbase. The basic right-angle stacking aisle width is 154 in or 3910 mm, to which load length and clearance must be added. The outside turning radius is 130.5 in or 3320 mm. The truck's operating weight is 21790 lb or 9880 kg.
