Basic Technical Data: The forklift is powered by the
Toyota 1FS engine, a four-cylinder gasoline and LPG unit. With a displacement of
3685 cc or 224 cu.in, this engine produces 63 kW or 84 hp of power at a rated
speed of 2350 r/min according to SAE standards. The engine delivers peak torque
of 290 Nm or 214 lb-ft at 1400 r/min. The engine is EPA and CARB-certified and
UL-approved for LPG operation. The fuel tank capacity is 90 L or 24 US gal.
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. The engine features an 8-inch cyclone air cleaner and
moisture-resistant electric connectors for enhanced durability.
Cooling: Engine temperature is regulated by a liquid cooling system with high
cooling capacity. This system comprises a radiator with a screen, a water pump,
a large-capacity engine-cooling fan, and a thermostat. The water pump circulates
coolant through the engine jackets to absorb heat, which is then dissipated as
it passes through the radiator core. An external hydraulic oil cooler helps
maintain proper operating temperatures during extended use.
Transmission: The Toyota 8FGC35U is equipped with an
automatic 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.
Electric shift control provides precise and reliable gear engagement.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 19 km/h or 11.8 mph
and an unladen speed of 19 km/h or 11.8 mph.
Axles: The front axle is a rigid, full-floating 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.
Brakes: The service brake system is hydraulic, providing reliable and controlled
stopping power with force-cooled wet disc brakes. This system uses hydraulic
pressure to apply the brakes, offering a consistent pedal feel and effective
deceleration. The parking brake is hand-operated with a double-action design,
engaging mechanically to secure the machine when parked.
The electrical system operates on a 12 V architecture
with a 48 Ah battery capacity at the 5-hour rate. It includes a
maintenance-free, low-maintenance battery to power the starter motor, electronic
controls, and lighting. The system encompasses a starter with anti-restart
ignition key switch, a 70 A alternator with built-in regulator to charge the
battery while the engine runs, and a comprehensive wiring harness connecting all
electrical components, including the SAS and OPSS safety systems.
The lighting package includes LED headlights,
LED front and rear combination lights, LED rear work lights with reverse
activation, and turn signals with integrated headlight lever. The LCD
multi-function display provides data log, fuel information, various hour
meters, engine coolant temperature gauge, fuel gauge, check engine
light, engine oil pressure warning light, OPSS activation light, and
parking brake indicator.
Wheel Drive: The Toyota 8FGC35U 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
track width, the distance between the centre lines of the left and right wheels,
is 1040 mm or 40.9 in for the front and 1050 mm or 41.3 in for the rear.
Tires: This model is fitted with pneumatic shaped cushion tyres as standard. The
tyre size for the front is 22x9x16, and for the rear, it is 18x6x12-1/8. Treaded
cushion tyres provide traction and smooth operation for indoor applications. The
machine features wide tread and plate-iron front fenders for durability.
Steering: The steering system is full hydraulic power steering with load-sensing
capability, making manoeuvring the truck effortless for the operator. The system
includes an 11.8-inch diameter two-spoke steering wheel with a knob for enhanced
control. Synchronized steering and a steering column with tilt function allow
the operator to adjust the steering wheel to a comfortable position. A steering
wheel knob provides additional control during maneuvering. The system includes a
hydraulic accumulator for consistent steering performance.
The hydraulic system is designed for efficient lifting
and tilting operations with fully oil-charged lift cylinders. It operates at a
pressure of 181 bar or 2630 psi for powering attachments. The system pump
delivers a rated flow of 128 L/min or 33.8 gpm, 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.
