Basic Technical Data: The forklift is powered by the
Toyota 4Y-ECS engine, a four-cylinder gasoline or LPG unit with overhead valves
and electronic fuel injection. With a displacement of 2229 cc or 136 cu.in, this
engine produces 57 hp or 43 kW of power at a rated speed of 2570 rpm. The engine
delivers peak torque of 118 lb-ft or 160 Nm at 2200 rpm. The engine is EPA and
CARB-certified for LPG operation and features a 3-way catalytic muffler system.
The engine includes Distributor Less Ignition (DLI) and a high-capacity 70-amp
alternator on 4Y-ECS models. The liquid fuel tank capacity is 15.9 US gal or 60
L.
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 a 7-inch cyclone air cleaner with a
high-positioned external air intake and a fully sealed air intake system for
enhanced durability in dusty environments.
Cooling: Engine temperature is regulated by a liquid cooling system with high
cooling capacity. This system comprises a radiator with a fan shroud and screen,
a water pump, a large-capacity engine-cooling fan, and a thermostat. Some
configurations feature a plate fin radiator. The water pump circulates coolant
through the engine jackets to absorb heat, which is then dissipated as it passes
through the radiator core. Moisture-resistant electric connectors enhance
reliability in outdoor environments.
Transmission: The Toyota 8FGU32 is equipped with a
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 and Intelli-Shift provide precise and reliable gear engagement. The
transmission is part of a full-floating powertrain design.
Travel Speed: The forklift achieves a laden travel speed of 11.2 mph or 18.0
km/h forward and reverse. The unladen travel speed is 11.5 mph or 18.5 km/h
forward and reverse.
Axles: The front axle is a rigid, 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 self-adjusting brakes. This system uses hydraulic pressure
to apply the brakes, offering a consistent pedal feel and effective
deceleration. The parking brake is mechanical, hand-operated, engaging
mechanically to secure the machine when parked. Independent brake and inching
pedals provide precise control.
The electrical system operates on a 12V architecture
with a low-maintenance battery. It includes a maintenance-free battery with
sealed construction and moisture-resistant electric connectors for enhanced
durability. The system encompasses a starter with anti-restart ignition key
switch, an 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 LCD multi-function display includes data log, fuel and operation information
with QR code output, master warning indicators, wheel direction indicators, mast
tilt indicators, various hour meters, engine coolant temperature gauge, fuel
gauge (excluding LPG), check engine light, engine oil pressure warning light,
OPSS activation light, and parking brake indicator. The lighting package
includes LED headlights, LED front and rear combination lights, and turn signals
with integrated headlight lever. Optional features include strobe lights,
reverse-activated blue lights, and back up alarms.
Wheel Drive: The Toyota 8FGU32 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
machine features fully stamped steel side panels, stamped steel engine hood, and
plate-iron front fenders for durability.
