One of the most popular forklifts on Machines4U. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The Forklift in Action<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><iframe src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Au7Dvy9y5JI\" width=\"560\" height=\"314\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A quick look at the 8FG25 <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toyota Forklift 8FG25 Overview &amp; Features<\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cIn the development of the 8 Series&#8230; we returned to the starting point and took a careful look at the forklift itself from every aspect. The 8 Series stands ready to bring out the true potential in all owners and operators.\u201d<br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014Hisao Nagata, Chief Engineer of the 8 Series<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toyota\u2019s 8 Series (including the 8FG and 8FD models from 1-3.5 tonne) was designed and developed at the Toyota Takahama Plant in Aichi, Japan. To enhance the design of the 8 Series, Toyota focused on 5 key areas: <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Comfort<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Toyota forklifts have always had been a leader in operator comfort. With state-of-the-art technology, engineers collected and analysed data based on operator movement. Using this data, they identified main points of movement that can be optimised such as:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Easy entry &amp; exit: Large assist grip, wide step and spacious opening.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wide floor space: More leg room ensures a relaxed operating position.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Supportive operator restraint system (ORS) seat: Adjustable 150mm forward\/backward<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Operation<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Based on the findings of the engineer\u2019s research, changes were also made to the operator\u2019s station to ensure smooth operation.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Small-diameter steering wheel with full hydraulic power steering system.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Combination meter: Shows your hour meter, engine water temp and fuel.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Other options available such as swivel seat, joystick and mini lever.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Stability<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When handling heavy loads, safety is paramount. Toyota took this a step further in their 7 Series with the introduction of the System of Active Stability (SAS). This is also in the 8 Series. \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Active Control Rear Stabiliser (SAS). Onboard tech monitors forklift movement and locks the swing of the rear axle if required (such as during turns). This helps stabilise the machine. <\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Active Mast Function Controller (SAS). Includes front-tilt angle control, rear tilt speed control and automatic fork leveling control.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Operator Presence Sensing System (OPS). Detects the presence of the operator and if they are not in normal operating position, it stops load handling operations. <\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4.\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Environmental impact<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Part of Toyota\u2019s commitment to quality forklifts is also to the environment. The 8FG25 emits less exhaust emissions, is quieter and offers low vibration. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Serviceability<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">These forklifts are popular in Australia thanks to its ability to hold up against the harsher climate. The 8 Series forklift, including the 8FG25, have less resin parts, include tilt cylinder boots, water-resistant connectors and a cooling system to prevent overheating. This extends the life of the machine as well as aids serviceability. The radiator cover (no tools required), wide engine hood, and an easy lift-up panel give quick access to brake fluid. <\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8FG25 Toyota Forklift Price<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8FG25 Toyota forklifts range between $9,500 and $23,500, averaging at $14,407 (used).*<\/span><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.machines4u.com.au\/brand\/toyota\/8fg25\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Find Toyota forklift 8FG25s for sale<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8FG25 Toyota Forklift Specs Quick View<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><b>Max Fork Height (MFH): <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3000 mm<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Capacity: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2500 kg<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Load Centre: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">500 mm<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Turning Radius (outside):<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2280 mm<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Overhead Guard Height:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> 2110 mm<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Overall, the 8FG25 forklift has a number of leading safety features and a spacious workspace that sees it widely used in the transport industry. <\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">&#8220;The popularity of the Toyota FG forklift range is based on proven reliability that just keeps on going in all environments, giving our customers excellent performance, service and good value for money from a proven brand they can trust.&#8221;<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014Russell Dickson, Toyota Material Handling Australia (TMHA) Accounts Manager<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Have you used the 8FG25 Toyota forklift?
