Heavy duty forklift range

The new versions feature a reconfigured Kubota Euro Stage 1V engine and exhaust system that is fully CE compliant and offers impressive fuel savings. TCM has completed fuel economy comparison tests that show up to 20% fuel reduction on its 7t 55kW engine compared to its previous model, and about 5% on is bigger 81kW truck.

To further enhance fuel efficiency, the FD 60-100 series has an ECO mode. This lowers emission, noise levels, and fuel consumption. TCM says that operating under this setting facilitates a potential fuel saving of 11%, without compromising the truck’s operational performance.

The range also includes two new ‘lighter duty’ trucks with a 55kW output engine, and a choice of 6 or 7t load capacity. These trucks are said to out-perform comparable rival trucks for overall operational efficiency, economy and value, making them suitable for tough duties.

All the new trucks are equipped with advanced safety, driver comfort, maintenance and management oversight features. An on-board diagnostics menu integrates self-checks and a reporting function. It helps to keep an eye on the truck and highlights when maintenance is needed, or problem-solving interventions are required.        

For more intense operational tasks, TCM has introduced its new Kubota powered 81kW output forklift, with lift capacity options of 6, 7, 8 and 10t equipped with clean air technology and extremely low exhaust emissions. 

Using a combination of DOC (diesel oxidation catalyst), DPF (diesel particulate filter) and SCR (selective catalytic reduction), exhaust emissions are reduced. By significantly lowering diesel emissions cleaner air, environment impact and public health are the essential winners.
