Toyota 8FGCU18 Specifications
The Toyota 8FGCU18 is an LPG-powered forklift that
delivers a compelling balance of power, efficiency, and safety for indoor
operations. Its core strength lies in the proven Toyota 4Y-ECS engine, which
provides reliable performance with electronic fuel injection for improved
efficiency. The machine rolls on cushion tires, making it exceptionally
well-suited for smooth indoor surfaces and narrow aisles.
Operator comfort and safety are prioritized through features like load-sensing
power steering, an ergonomic operator compartment, and Toyota's comprehensive
safety systems including System of Active Stability (SAS) and Operator Presence
Sensing System (OPSS). With competitive travel and lift speeds, the 8FGCU18 is
designed to maximize productivity in busy indoor environments.
This model is equipped with various mast configurations depending on application
requirements, commonly available as 2-stage or 3-stage masts. It rolls on
cushion tires, offering excellent stability and maneuverability 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 400 mm (15.7
in), supported by a wheelbase of 1,225 mm (48.2 in). The total service weight of
the truck is 2,910 kg (6,415 lb). When fully laden, the axle load distribution
places 4,100 kg (9,039 lb) on the front axle and 610 kg (1,345 lb) on the rear
axle. In an unladen state, the front axle load 990 kg (2,183 lb), and the rear
axle load 1,920 kg (4,233 lb).
The Toyota 8FGCU18 is powered by the Toyota 4Y-ECS
engine, a robust and reliable powerplant specifically designed for LPG operation
with electronic control system. It is a four-cylinder, overhead valve (OHV)
engine with a total displacement of 2,237 cc (136 cu in). This engine produces a
rated power of 36 kW (48 hp) at 2,250 rpm, with peak torque of 118 lb-ft (160
Nm) at 2,100 rpm. The fuel tank holds 27.3 l (7.2 gal) of LPG.
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 fan shroud, 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, and
reduced emissions.
Transmission: It is fitted with a Powershift
transmission with electronic 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 17.5
km/h (10.9 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 with self-adjusting brakes
operating on the front drive wheels. A mechanically actuated, independent
parking brake is also provided for secure parking.
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, 70-amp alternator with built-in regulator and a
12-volt battery. 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 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, and OPSS activation light.
The chassis provides a rigid and durable foundation,
constructed from heavy-gauge steel with stamped steel panels and engine hood to
support all major components under load stress.
Wheels and Tires: The 8FGCU18 is fitted with solid rubber cushion tires with 2
front and 2 rear wheels.
Front Tires: 18x6-12-1/8 (18 x 6 x 12-1/8)
Rear Tires: 14x4-1/2x8 (14 x 4-1/2 x 8)
Track Width:
Front: 795 mm (31.3 in)
Rear: 820 mm (32.3 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 8FGCU18 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 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 160 bar (2,320 psi) for powering attachments. The main hydraulic pump has a
rated flow of 60.6 l/min (16.0 gpm), ensuring responsive lift and tilt speeds
for efficient handling of loads. The mast tilts forward by 6 degrees and
backward by 10 degrees, facilitating precise load engagement and secure
transport.
The standard mast configuration is available as a
2-stage or 3-stage, high-visibility design depending on application
requirements.
