Toyota 8FGC45U Specifications
The Toyota 8FGC45U is an LPG-powered forklift that
delivers exceptional power, durability, and efficiency for heavy-duty indoor
operations. Its core strength lies in the robust Toyota 1FS engine, a
four-cylinder powerplant providing substantial torque and reliability for
continuous use. The machine rolls on pneumatic-shaped cushion tires, offering
excellent stability and maneuverability on smooth warehouse floors while
providing enhanced load-carrying capability.
Operator comfort and safety are prioritized through features like load-sensing
power steering, a 4-way adjustable full-suspension seat, and an LCD
multi-function display. The 8FGC45U is equipped with a Powershift automatic
transmission and incorporates Toyota's comprehensive safety systems including
System of Active Stability (SAS) and Operator Presence Sensing System (OPSS).
With competitive travel and lift speeds for its class, the 8FGC45U is designed
to maximize productivity in challenging indoor environments.
This model is equipped with various mast configurations depending on application
requirements, available as 2-stage or 3-stage masts. It rolls on
pneumatic-shaped cushion tires, offering excellent stability, maneuverability,
and load-carrying capability on smooth warehouse floors. The truck's fundamental
design incorporates Toyota's SAS, contributing actively to its operational
stability. The distance from the centre of the drive axle to the fork face is
460 mm (18.1 in), supported by a wheelbase of 1,570 mm (61.8 in).
The total service weight of the truck is 6,580 kg (14,503 lb) according to
user-provided data, though some sources indicate operating weight of 6,760 kg
(14,903 lb). When fully laden, the axle load distribution places 9,550 kg
(21,054 lb) on the front axle and 1,530 kg (3,373 lb) on the rear axle. In an
unladen state, the front axle load 2,010 kg (4,431 lb), and the rear axle load
4,570 kg (10,075 lb).
The Toyota 8FGC45U is powered by the Toyota 1FS engine,
a robust and reliable powerplant specifically designed for LPG operation. It is
a four-cylinder, overhead valve (OHV) engine with a total displacement of 3,685
cc (224 cu in). This engine produces a rated power of 63 kW (84 hp) at 2,350
rpm, with peak torque of 290 Nm (214 lb-ft) at 1,400 rpm. The engine features a
pressure-fed lubrication system with a gear-type oil pump and full-flow oil
filter, ensuring all moving components are adequately lubricated.
Cooling is managed by a liquid-cooled system with a high-capacity radiator and
large-capacity engine-cooling fan, designed to maintain optimal operating
temperatures even under continuous use. The engine incorporates electronic fuel
injection and a distributorless ignition system for improved reliability, fuel
efficiency (up to 20% reduction compared with previous models), and reduced
emissions.
Transmission: It is fitted with a heavy-duty Powershift
automatic transmission with electric shift control, which facilitates smooth
direction changes without the need for clutching. This transmission operates
with a single forward and single reverse gear and includes an automatic
transmission oil cooler for enhanced durability.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden and unladen travel speed of 19 km/h
(11.8 mph) in both forward and reverse.
Axles: The drive axle is located at the front, featuring a full-floating
powertrain design for heavy load support. The rear steer axle is of a robust,
heavy-duty construction.
Brakes: The service brake system is hydraulic. The parking brake is
hand-operated. The 8FGC45U features force-cooled wet disc brakes for reduced
maintenance costs and downtime.
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, 48 Ah battery and a 12-volt, 70-amp alternator with
built-in regulator. The system powers the starter motor, electronic fuel
injection, distributorless ignition system, and all essential lighting
components including LED headlights, tail lights, and turn indicators for safe
operation.
The machine features a Control Area Network
(CAN-bus) communication system with an LCD multi-function display that
includes data log, fuel and operation information with QR code output,
master warning indicators, various hour meters, engine coolant
temperature gauge, check engine light, engine oil pressure warning
light, OPSS activation light, and parking brake indicator.
The chassis provides a rigid and durable foundation,
constructed from heavy-gauge steel with fully stamped steel side panels and
stamped steel engine hood to support all major components under load stress.
Wheels and Tires: The 8FGC45U is fitted with pneumatic-shaped cushion tires with
2 front and 2 rear wheels.
Front: 22 x 12 x 16
Rear: 18 x 7 x 12-1/8
Track Width:
Front: 1,115 mm (43.9 in)
Rear: 1,080 mm (42.5 in)
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 8FGC45U is a load-sensing hydraulic
power steering system, providing the operator with exceptionally smooth and
effortless control during low-speed maneuvering and in confined spaces. The
system features an 11.8-inch diameter, two-spoke steering wheel that provides
greater legroom for the operator. It 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 181 bar (2,630 psi) for powering attachments. The main hydraulic pump has a
rated flow of 128 l/min (33.8 gpm), ensuring responsive lift and tilt speeds for
efficient handling of heavy loads. The mast tilts forward by 5 degrees and
backward by 6 degrees, facilitating precise load engagement and secure
transport. Active Mast Control responds automatically to enhance stability of
loads handled at high lift heights.
The standard mast configuration is available as a
2-stage or 3-stage, high-visibility design depending on application
requirements.
