Toyota 8FGCU30 Specifications
The Toyota 8FGCU30 represents a well-engineered
solution in the 3-tonne LPG forklift class, offering a balanced combination of
power, efficiency, and maneuverability. Powered by the Toyota 4Y-ECS electronic
fuel injection engine, this model delivers reliable performance with 51 hp while
maintaining fuel efficiency and reduced emissions suitable for indoor
applications. Its compact design, combined with a tight turning radius of 2030
mm (6.7 ft), allows for excellent maneuverability in congested warehouse aisles
and tight spaces.
The 8FGCU30 is equipped with cushion tires, making it particularly well-suited
for improved surfaces in warehouse environments. Operators benefit from
ergonomic features including an adjustable seat with seat belt, multifunction
display, and responsive hydraulic controls that reduce fatigue during extended
shifts. As an 8-Series model, it represents Toyota's commitment to quality,
durability, and advanced technology in material handling equipment.
The Toyota 8FGCU30 is a rider-seated forklift powered by an LPG engine with
electronic fuel injection. It has a load capacity of 3000 kg at a 500 mm load
centre, or 2700 kg at a 600 mm load centre, equivalent to 5953 lb at a 24 in
load centre. The distance from the drive axle centre to the fork face is 450 mm
or 17.7 in.
The Toyota 8FGCU30 is powered by the Toyota 4Y-ECS
engine, a sophisticated four-cylinder LPG power unit known for its reliability,
fuel efficiency, and advanced electronic controls.
Basic Technical Data: The engine is a four-cylinder LPG/gasoline engine with an
Overhead Valve (OHV) design and electronic fuel injection. It has a displacement
of 2237 cc or 136 cu in. It produces a rated power of 38 kW at 2570 rpm,
equivalent to 51 hp at 2570 rpm. The engine delivers rated torque of 160 Nm at
2100 rpm, equivalent to 118 lb-ft at 2100 rpm.
Lubrication: The engine employs a forced lubrication system. 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.
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.
Transmission: The 8FGCU30 is equipped with a powershift
transmission, allowing for direction changes with a simple flip of a lever
without clutching, enhancing operator efficiency and reducing fatigue.
Travel Speed: This forklift achieves a laden and unladen travel speed of 17 km/h
or 10.6 mph.
Axles: The front axle is a drive axle with 2 driven 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. Both are robustly
constructed to handle the stresses of daily use.
Brakes: Service braking is handled by a hydraulic braking system, providing
reliable and progressive deceleration essential for safety when handling loads.
The parking brake is foot-operated.
The electrical system operates at a standard 12 volts,
powering the starter motor, lights, and electronic control units. The system
includes a multifunction display and diagnostic capabilities for enhanced
monitoring. The battery requires periodic inspection of electrolyte level and
terminal condition. The electronic fuel injection and distributorless ignition
systems rely on sensors and electronic controllers for optimal engine
performance.
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 cushion rubber tires, which provide stable performance
on improved surfaces common in warehouse applications. The front tires are size
21 x 8 x 15, and the rear tires are size 16 x 6 x 10-1/2. The wheel
configuration features 2 driven wheels at the front and 2 steer wheels at the
rear. The front track width is 910 mm or 35.8 in, and the rear track width is
915 mm or 36.0 in.
The 8FGCU30 features full hydraulic power steering, 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 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 160 bar or 2275 psi. The rated pump flow is
75.7 l/min or 20 gal/min.
The forklift is commonly equipped with a three-stage
mast for high lift heights while maintaining a low closed height for traveling
through doorways. The standard mast configuration has a lowered height of 1960
mm or 77.2 in. It provides a free lift of 135 mm or 5.3 in, enabling lifting in
low-clearance areas before the mast sections begin to extend. The maximum fork
height is 3000 mm or 120 in.
The mast tilts forward by 6 degrees and backward by 10 degrees to facilitate
load handling and secure transport. The fork carriage width is 970 mm or 38.2
in. The standard fork dimensions are 45 mm thick, 125 mm wide, and 1070 mm long,
which is 1.8 in by 4.9 in by 42.1 in. The maximum fork spread is 1700 mm or 66.9
in, with a minimum spread of 300 mm or 11.8 in.
Load Capacity: 6,614 lb (3,000 kg)
Load Centre: 19.7 in (500 mm)
The lift speed with a load is 0.52 m/s or 102 ft/min,
and without a load, it increases to 0.55 m/s or 108 ft/min. Lowering speeds are
controlled at 0.50 m/s or 98 ft/min both laden and unladen. The truck can
generate a maximum drawbar pull of 18500 N or 40786 lb when laden. Its
gradeability is 25 percent when laden.
The overall length of the truck, including the standard
1070 mm or 42.1 in forks, is 3445 mm or 11.3 ft. The length to the face of the
forks is 2475 mm or 8.1 ft. The overall width is 1110 mm or 3.6 ft. The coupling
height is 260 mm or 10.2 in. The height to the top of the overhead guard is 2050
mm or 6.7 ft. Ground clearance, laden, is 65 mm or 2.6 in below the mast, and
105 mm or 4.1 in at the centre of the wheelbase. The truck has a wheelbase of
1485 mm or 4.9 ft.
The minimum aisle width required for right-angle stacking with 1000 x 1200 mm
pallets crossways is 3680 mm or 12.1 ft, and for 800 x 1200 mm pallets
lengthways, it is 3880 mm or 12.7 ft. The outside turning radius is 2030 mm or
6.7 ft, with an internal turning radius of 610 mm or 24.0 in. Its service weight
is 4220 kg or 9259 lb, with axle loadings shifting from 1390 kg or 3064 lb on
the front and 2830 kg or 6239 lb on the rear when unladen, to 6310 kg or 13,911
lb on the front and 910 kg or 2006 lb on the rear when carrying a full load.
