Toyota diesel forklift

Toyota 7FG15 is a Japanese-made universal loader. The machine belongs to forklifts, and has a high level of adaptation to extreme loads. The device is adapted for a wide range of tasks, as evidenced by the achievements of the machine during factory tests, as well as practical operation with the participation of real owners. For more than ten years of production, the model in question has rightfully been awarded a positive response from the majority of consumers. At the same time, one must take into account the fact that the capabilities of the machine are appreciated by professional users who need high performance, reliability and maneuverability at an affordable price. Actually, this is exactly what the Toyota 7FG15 is. Consider its capabilities and characteristics, as well as the features of operation and the cost of the model.

Purpose

The Toyota 7FG15 is a powerful forklift truck designed for construction, agriculture, utility, road transport and cleaning applications. In particular, the equipment has proven itself well when loading and transporting goods - sand, soil, gravel, construction waste, heavy concrete structures, as well as various bulk materials. The machine performs transportation operations with the help of various attachments, presented below. The model is actively involved in communal tasks such as removing snow or dust from roads and sidewalks. The machine is in demand in trade terminals and warehouses, ports and airports.

Scope of forklifts

Forklifts are used in warehouses and adjacent areas, at stations and ports, customs terminals, in retail chains, in industry, agriculture, wherever the movement of goods is required. Load or unload vehicles, distribute cargo to storage areas, and many other works are performed using these self-propelled mechanisms.

Toyota produces a large number of models. Knowing the decoding of the model designation, you can find out its basic data. The first digit of the designation is the generation of this series.

The following two marking letters indicate:

• FD - diesel engine.
• FB - electric.
• FG - gasoline or gas engine.

The last 2 or 3 digits multiplied by 100 give the load capacity in kilograms.

Other letters may specify the modification, for example, "C" means the use of cast wheels instead of pneumatic, "K" - a compact chassis, "E" - tricycle, etc.

Attachment

• Brush - an option designed to meet the needs of representatives of housing and communal services. There is a rotary and road version of the brushes, as well as an advanced industrial brush with a hopper. The brush can be equipped with a humidifier so that when cleaning, debris and dust are not sprayed, but collected in one heap. It is very convenient and practical. The brush is used for cleaning roads and interior areas, as well as for preventive measures in warehouses and industrial premises. You can also remove snow with a brush.

• Fork extension - this device is suitable for working with a truck on one side only. This is very convenient, since there is no need to move the loader's wheel chassis to unload the load on the opposite side of the vehicle body side. This is possible due to the fork extensions, thanks to which the loader can remain stationary and be located on one side of the body.
• Bucket hinged - a device with a hydraulic drive. Facilitates loading and unloading at any height, and is controlled by a special lever from the operator's cab. The bucket is made of thick and durable metal, practically not subject to corrosion. The rubber lining of the bucket acts as an anti-slip coating.
• Barrel Grip - This equipment impresses with its simple design and capabilities. This option is suitable for gripping and moving barrels and other similar items that have a cylindrical shape. The device is a gripper that tightly compresses the walls of the barrel without damaging them. The load is held in such a way that it does not fall out of the grippers during transport.
• Sideshift, or the so-called sideshift, is a tool to increase the performance of a forklift. Provides accurate positioning of the load without additional maneuvers. The change in the positioning of the load occurs due to the displacement of the forks relative to the load axle.
• Fork positioner that allows you to change the setting of the forks (adjust the amount of fork opening) without stopping the loader. Adjustment of a pitchfork on the required width happens in the automatic mode, by means of the lever from salon of the operator. Thanks to the fork positioner, you won't have to leave the cab.
• Capture - a device that has a simple but very functional design. It is a tool for working with loads of various shapes. In general, we are talking about freight containers that are not placed on pallets.
• The rotator is a hydraulic motor that increases the efficiency of attachments and facilitates the process of changing the position of cargo containers in a vertical plane.
• Pusher - this device is used for more efficient work with loads. The pusher has a simple principle of operation: when approaching a freight truck/wagon, the pusher pushes the load to the opposite side of the side, while the wheeled chassis of the vehicle remains stationary. As a result, it is possible to speed up the loading of goods, and all loading takes place on one side of the car.
• Cargo stabilizer - this device is suitable for transporting fragile goods that are easy to damage. For example, it can be a glass container. Such cargo is usually placed on pallets. The safe movement of a loader with such a load is ensured thanks to the clamping platform that fixes the load.
• A pin is a device designed to replace expensive specialized equipment that is used to work with cylindrical loads.
• A crane boom is another attachment that does not require expensive lifting equipment. The best option in this case would be mounted crane blockless booms designed to transport goods in the air.
• Bucket - equipment for a forklift, adapted for loading and transporting bulk cargo - sand, snow, foliage, soil, etc. It is also an alternative to expensive specialized equipment, and one of the elements of cost reduction.
• Rotary blade - a snow removal option, as well as tools for cleaning bulk materials. Designed for a load capacity in the range of 1000-2000 kg.

Features of the device and operation

• The Toyota 7FG15 forklift has a high potential, and due to this it is very resistant to extreme loads, as well as critical low and high air temperatures. Especially for this, the machine is equipped with an internal combustion gas engine, which has an efficient cooling system that is not prone to overheating. Also available is a preheating system and an electric starter, ensuring uninterrupted engine start in any weather. Engine power reaches 40 horsepower, and torque is 160 N / m. This is enough to unlock the potential of the loader's mobile devices. Gas fuel consumption is quite low, which indicates high efficiency, as well as minimal toxicity of exhaust gases. According to these indicators (toxicity and efficiency), the power plant has an appropriate safety certificate in accordance with applicable standards and regulations.

• The interior space of the 7FG15 forklift is not distinguished by a high level of equipment, since we are talking about a representative from the budget price category. The car received quite solid functionality, and at the same time it stands out for its spaciousness. The driver's seat and steering column can be adjusted to your liking. The cab has a heating system with preset operating modes. To ensure high-class visibility, the loader has a wide glass area, sun visors and thin body pillars - all this, of course, improves visibility. The controls are ergonomically placed and within easy reach. For example, the attachment control unit is placed on a special joystick. The cabin is quite quiet and there are no vibrations - however, as befits the technique of Japanese origin.
• The Toyota 7FG15 forklift received, not surprisingly, good cross-country ability, as well as good handling and directional stability. Pay attention to the front and rear wheels with different diameters. Oversized front tires prevent rollover when the implement is loaded to its maximum. Low ground clearance also contributes to good stability, which excludes rolls in corners. Grippy wheels with a pronounced tread improve traction, which is especially important when driving on slippery or descending surfaces.

• The machine captivates Russian users with its high maintainability, as well as optimally low cost of ownership. As practice shows, all repair and diagnostic measures are carried out strictly in accordance with the regulations, and unscheduled breakdowns are almost excluded. Working bodies are serviced with the help of a basic set of tools. This also applies to work in the engine compartment - it will not be difficult to replace the fuel and air filters, as well as install new components of the internal combustion engine and the cylinder-piston group, as well as refuel oil and fuel. A developed dealer network inspires confidence and confidence that, thanks to service support, the car will last for decades.

Operating comfort

The Toyota forklift is extremely comfortable to use thanks to a special seat with lateral support. It makes it possible to sit in the driver's seat with great comfort and not feel discomfort even on sharp turns, making efforts to hold on.

The height of the driver's seat is also easily adjustable thanks to its design. It is located on a special telescopic stand, which can be adjusted using a special lever.

All controls are close to the driver, there is no need to reach very far in order to carry out any manipulation of the loader. The right armrest is a five-lever control panel.

It is with its help that all the necessary operations for loading and unloading are carried out. The steering wheel is small, which does not make driving less comfortable: to turn, it is enough to tilt the steering wheel just a little, the hydraulic booster will do the rest.

There is a special flywheel on the steering wheel, it allows you to control the movement of the loader with just one hand. This is very convenient if you need to simultaneously move and carry out loading and unloading.

Attention! This vehicle is equipped with two headlights. One of them shines forward, illuminating the load and the space ahead. The second headlight makes everything behind the truck easily visible thanks to a powerful light emitting element - a halogen bulb.

Toyota forklifts are especially comfortable for the following reasons:

• the presence of a wide corrugated footboard , which allows you to comfortably sit down in the lift and disembark from it;
• the equipment is equipped with the SAS system (automatic steering synchronization);
• an extremely large amount of headroom . This is what allows the driver to take the most comfortable position, regardless of his height;
• there is a special niche in which you can comfortably position your legs .

Electrical

It is no secret that in some cases the use of equipment, in particular, loaders equipped with traditional engines, is undesirable or unacceptable, for example, when working in a small enclosed space, in a wagon, container, in a workshop, especially where food products are produced. For these purposes, there are loaders driven by an electric motor.

Such loaders are of two types, differ in the layout of the chassis:

• Tricycle. The rear axle consists of one wheel or two, but placed not at the edges, but closer to the longitudinal axis of the loader. This arrangement significantly increases maneuverability, allowing a smaller turning radius, but reduces the lateral stability of the machine. The place of work of such equipment is platforms with an even horizontal coating. Carrying capacity - up to 2 tons.
• Four-bearing. The classic layout, in which the wheels are located at the corners of the loader. Their maneuverability is lower, but the indicators of carrying capacity, speed, and productivity are higher. They are less at risk of tipping over. Load capacity - up to 8.5 tons.

Main technical characteristics:

The Traigo 24 series are 3 models of the most compact loaders suitable for both indoor and outdoor use. Given this, you can choose the most suitable cabin. Tricycle loaders due to their maneuverability can be used in the most cramped conditions of warehouses, wagons, car bodies, etc.

The Traigo 48 series, in addition to using 48-volt batteries, has 6 three-wheel and 4 four-wheel models. A feature of tricycles is the use of a dual wheel on the rear axle, which retains maneuverability, but increases resistance to rollover in the transverse direction. The two models, 8FBEKT16 and 8FBEKT16, are more compact versions of the 8FBET16 and 8FBET16 models with a reduced turning radius.

Traigo 80 series - have 80-volt batteries and are suitable for use in harsh conditions. This is a high performance loader for intensive work.

The Traigo HT series loaders have the fastest lifting speeds, outperforming competing machines. The models included in the 3 series are designed for active use, due to their characteristics they have high performance.

The 7FBCU and 8FBCU series are compact models characterized by a narrow and short chassis. These loaders are equipped with small wheels with solid tires. Their compact size and maneuverability make them ideal for working in tight aisles between warehouse racks, as well as in other situations where a combination of a small size loader with the ability to handle loads of several tons is required.
