Description
Toyota 02-8 FGF 30 Gas Powered Forklift: The 3.0 Tonne Workhorse
The Toyota 02-8 FGF 30 is a powerful and efficient LPG-powered counterbalance forklift from Toyota's advanced 8-Series. Built on a legacy of durability and innovation, this 3.0-tonne capacity model delivers high productivity, superior operator comfort, and industry-leading safety features, making it a go-to solution for heavy-duty material handling tasks both indoors and outdoors.
Features
- 3.0 Tonne Load Capacity: With a nominal load capacity of 3,000 kg (3.0 tonnes) at a standard 500 mm load centre, the FGF 30 is capable of confidently handling a wide range of heavy palletised goods, crates, and bulk materials.
- Powerful & Efficient Toyota 4Y Engine: At its heart is a robust and highly efficient Toyota 4Y industrial LPG engine. Specifically designed for forklift applications, this engine delivers strong acceleration, high torque, and excellent fuel economy, while meeting or exceeding stringent emissions regulations (e.g., often surpassing Stage V requirements with a catalytic muffler).
- Toyota System of Active Stability (SAS): A cornerstone of Toyota's safety technology, SAS actively monitors and controls the forklift's stability in real-time. Key functions include:
- Active Mast Function Control: Limits forward tilt of the mast based on load weight and height, and controls backward tilt speed, significantly reducing the risk of accidental tip-overs or dropped loads.
- Active Steering Synchronizer: Synchronizes the steering wheel with the rear wheel angle for precise and predictable handling.
- Fork Levelling Control: Allows for easy, automatic leveling of forks with a single button press, improving efficiency and safety during pallet entry.
- High-Visibility Mast Options: Available with various mast types (e.g., Duplex, Triplex, Full Free Lift) offering excellent visibility through the mast, to the fork tips, and of the surrounding environment. This enhances operator confidence and reduces the risk of accidents. Lift heights can vary, often up to 4.5m or 4.7m, with triplex masts offering higher lifts and better closed height.
- Ergonomic Operator Compartment: Designed for operator comfort and reduced fatigue during long shifts:
- Fully Adjustable ORS Seat: The Operator Restraint System (ORS) seat is adjustable with side-wings and lumbar support, ensuring a comfortable and secure position.
- Intuitive Controls: Ergonomically placed controls, often available as traditional levers or mini-levers, facilitate easy and precise operation of hydraulic functions.
- Low Vibration & Noise Levels: Engineered to minimize engine noise and operational vibrations, contributing to a more pleasant working environment.
- Durable & Robust Construction: Built with Toyota's renowned quality and the Toyota Production System (TPS) principles, the 02-8 FGF 30 features a heavy-duty chassis and high-quality components, ensuring exceptional reliability and a long operational lifespan even in demanding environments.
- Superelastic (Solid) Tyres: Commonly fitted with superelastic (solid) tyres, providing a good balance of durability, stability, and puncture resistance, suitable for both indoor concrete floors and moderately uneven outdoor surfaces. Pneumatic tyres may also be an option for rougher terrains.
- Excellent Manoeuvrability: Despite its 3.0-tonne capacity, the FGF 30 offers a relatively tight turning radius (around 2.43m), allowing it to operate efficiently in confined spaces and navigate tight aisles within warehouses.
- Optional Features: Many units can be specified or retrofitted with additional features such as side shift, 3rd/4th hydraulic valves (for attachments), full cabins with heating, work lights (front/rear), and safety lights (e.g., blue spot).
Applications
The Toyota 02-8 FGF 30 is a versatile and reliable counterbalance forklift suitable for a broad range of demanding applications:
- Warehousing & Logistics: Loading and unloading trucks, stacking and retrieving goods in racking systems, and general internal transport of heavy loads.
- Manufacturing & Production: Moving raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods on factory floors.
- Distribution Centers: High-volume material handling operations.
- Building & Construction: Handling building materials, pallets of bricks, timber, and equipment on construction sites (especially with pneumatic tires for rougher terrain).
- Timber & Lumber Yards: Efficiently handling heavy and bulky timber products.
- General Industrial Use: Any environment requiring a robust, reliable, and powerful 3-tonne capacity forklift for diverse material handling tasks.
