Toyota 8FGCU20 Specifications
The Toyota 8FGCU20 is a 2.0-tonne (4,000 lb) capacity,
LPG-powered, seated rider forklift, engineered for exceptional versatility and
safety in indoor material handling applications. As a core model in Toyota's
8-Series, this cushion tire forklift integrates the advanced System of Active
Stability (SAS) to significantly enhance operator confidence and truck stability
during complex maneuvers in warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing
plants.
Powered by the Toyota 4Y-ECS electronic fuel injection engine, it delivers
responsive and reliable performance while meeting stringent emission standards.
Its compact design, tight turning radius, and efficient hydraulic system ensure
productive operation in confined aisles, while operator-centric features reduce
fatigue and promote safe, efficient work cycles.
The Toyota 8FGCU20 is a counterbalanced cushion tire forklift truck designed for
versatility and safety. It operates on LPG and is controlled by a seated
operator. Its rated load capacity is 2000 kg (4409 lb) at a 500 mm (19.7 in)
load centre, with an alternative rating of 1800 kg (3968 lb) at a 600 mm (23.6
in) load centre. The distance from the drive axle centre to the fork face
measures 420 mm (16.5 in), and the truck has a wheelbase of 1485 mm (58.5 in).
The service weight of the truck when unladen is 3240 kg (7143 lb). When fully
laden, the axle loading on the front axle is 4620 kg (10185 lb) and on the rear
axle is 620 kg (1367 lb). When unladen, these figures shift to 1370 kg (3020 lb)
on the front and 1870 kg (4123 lb) on the rear.
Basic Technical Data: The main component of the Toyota
8FGCU20 is the Toyota 4Y-ECS engine, a four-cylinder LPG unit with an overhead
valve design and electronic fuel injection. It has a total displacement of 2237
cc (136 cu.in). The engine is rated to produce 38 kW (51 hp) at a rated speed of
2570 rpm. Maximum torque is 160 Nm (118 lb-ft) achieved at 2100 rpm. The fuel
tank capacity is 45 L (11.9 gal).
Lubrication and Cooling: The system is designed to support continuous operation
in demanding conditions. The engine employs a forced lubrication system with a
full-flow oil filter to protect internal components, and liquid cooling to
maintain optimal operating temperatures. The service repair manual specifies
recommended lubricant quantities and types.
Transmission: The 8FGCU20 is equipped with a Toyota
Powershift transmission featuring electric shift control. 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 17 km/h (10.6 mph)
both when laden and 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 two driven
wheels on the front. The differential and front axle are designed for
durability. The service brake system is hydraulic, activated by a foot pedal,
providing reliable stopping power for both laden and unladen operations. A
foot-operated parking brake is also provided.
The electrical system operates at 12 V with a battery
capacity of 48 Ah at a 5-hour discharge rate. The system is responsible for
starting the LPG engine and powering all lights and operator interface
components.
The Toyota 8FGCU20 is fitted with solid rubber cushion
tyres, designed for traction and durability on smooth indoor surfaces. It has
four wheels in total, with the front two being the driven wheels. The front tyre
size is 21x7x15 (533 mm x 178 mm x 381 mm) and the rear tyre size is 16x5x10-1/2
(406 mm x 152 mm x 267 mm). The front track width measures 890 mm (35.0 in), and
the rear track width is 915 mm (36.0 in).
The Toyota 8FGCU20 features full hydraulic power steering with hydrostatic
control, reducing the effort required by the operator to turn the wheels,
especially when the truck is stationary or under load. The steering system is
detailed in the service repair manual. The mast and fork carriage can tilt
forward by 6 degrees and backward by 10 degrees to facilitate load handling and
secure transport.
The hydraulic system is a core component for lift and
tilt operations. It operates with an attachment pressure of 160 bar (2320 psi).
The system's rated pump flow is 75.7 L/min (20.0 gpm), which supplies the
necessary volume for lift, tilt, and auxiliary hydraulic functions. The
hydraulic system relief valve pressure is set at 2275 psi (157 bar). The
hydraulic system fluid capacity is 76 L (20.0 gal).
The Toyota 8FGCU20 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 1965 mm (77.4 in). The free lift, which is the height the
forks can rise before the mast itself begins to extend, is 155 mm (6.1 in).
The maximum lift height for the standard
configuration is 3000 mm (118 in), at which point the mast extends to a
total height of 4260 mm (167.7 in). Alternative mast configurations,
such as triplex masts, offer lift heights up to 5040 mm (198 in). The
fork carriage is DIN 15 173 class II and has a width of 920 mm (36.2
in).
Load Capacity: 4,409 lb (2,000 kg)
Load Centre: 19.7 in (500 mm)
The lift speed for the 2000 kg (4409 lb) rated load is
0.63 m/s (124 ft/min) when laden and 0.645 m/s (127 ft/min) when unladen.
Lowering speed is controlled and consistent at 0.50 m/s (98 ft/min) for both
laden and unladen conditions. The maximum drawbar pull, a measure of tractive
effort, is 18500 N (4160 lbf) for a laden truck and 8300 N (1866 lbf) for an
unladen truck. The gradeability, the ability to ascend a slope, is 36%.
The overall length of the truck, including the forks,
is 3385 mm (133.3 in). The length from the front face of the backrest to the
fork face is 2315 mm (91.1 in). The overall width of the truck is 1065 mm (41.9
in). The standard forks have dimensions of 40 mm (1.6 in) thick, 125 mm (4.9 in)
wide, and 1070 mm (42 in) long. The maximum fork spread is 1000 mm (39.4 in) and
the minimum is 300 mm (11.8 in).
The height of the overhead guard is 2050 mm (80.7 in). The coupling height for
towing is 260 mm (10.2 in). Ground clearance below the mast, when the truck is
laden, is 70 mm (2.8 in). At the centre of the wheelbase, ground clearance is
105 mm (4.1 in).
For maneuvering in aisles, the right-angle stacking aisle width for pallets
measuring 1000 by 1200 mm (39.4 by 47.2 in) with the 1200 mm (47.2 in) side
across the width of the truck is 3545 mm (139.6 in). For pallets 800 by 1200 mm
(31.5 by 47.2 in) with the 1200 mm (47.2 in) side along the length of the truck,
the required aisle width is 3745 mm (147.4 in). The outer turning radius is 1920
mm (75.6 in), and the internal turning radius is 588 mm (23.1 in). The total
operating weight of the truck is 3240 kg (7143 lb).
