Brand: TOYOTA – A world-renowned Japanese brand with over 80 years of forklift manufacturing experience, ranking top 2 in the global forklift market share. Toyota forklifts are celebrated for their ultra-high reliability, energy efficiency and humanized design, holding a 35% market share in the 5-ton heavy-duty forklift segment in Southeast Asia, the Middle East and Europe. The brand’s
SAS (System of Active Stability) safety system and global after-sales network covering 190+ countries (with 500+ authorized service centers and 15 regional parts warehouses) make it the first choice for international logistics, port and manufacturing enterprises.
Model: TOYOTA FD50 (5FD50) – A 5-ton class heavy-duty internal combustion counterbalance forklift, a classic model of Toyota’s 5-ton forklift series optimized for heavy-load handling scenarios such as port cargo loading and unloading, factory material transfer and warehouse bulk goods stacking. Powered by the Toyota 14Z-II diesel engine (66kW rated power) and equipped with a load-sensing hydraulic system, it delivers a rated load of 5000kg, a load center of 600mm, and a minimum outer turning radius of 3350mm. With a compact body design and SAS active stability system, it has been proven to operate continuously for over 12,000 hours without major failures in high-intensity port operations in the Middle East, and is widely used in Europe, Southeast Asia and the Middle East for its low failure rate and easy maintenance.
The FD50 is equipped with the
Toyota 14Z-II 4-cylinder diesel engine (5.204L displacement, 66kW rated power at 2400rpm, maximum torque of 325N·m at 1400rpm), which meets Euro II emission standards—perfectly adapted to emerging markets with relaxed emission regulations. The engine achieves a fuel consumption of only 8-10L per working hour, 20% lower than peers in the same tonnage class, while maintaining stable power output in heavy-load handling of containers, steel and bulk materials.
The
high-efficiency air filtration system with double-layer filters effectively blocks dust and sand in desert and port environments, extending the engine’s service life to 15,000 hours—40% longer than the industry average. The engine compartment adopts a sealed heat dissipation design, ensuring normal operation in high-temperature environments of 45°C+ in the Middle East.
Paired with a
load-sensing variable displacement hydraulic system, the FD50 realizes fast and smooth lifting/lowering actions with a maximum lifting speed of 50mm/s and a lowering speed of 120mm/s. The hydraulic system features independent circuits for lifting, tilting and steering, eliminating power interference during multi-action operations, and delivering precise control over heavy-load handling. The
Parker combination hydraulic valve and piston accumulator reduce the engine’s continuous load, while multiple hydraulic detection points simplify maintenance and fault diagnosis.
The
SAS active stability system cooperates with the hydraulic system to automatically adjust the forklift’s center of gravity during operation, reducing the risk of rollover by 80% in narrow spaces such as warehouses and container yards. The hydraulic braking system with wet multi-disc brakes ensures stable braking performance even in high-intensity continuous working conditions.
The FD50 features a compact body with an overall width of 1995mm, a length of 3460mm (to the vertical plane of the forks) and a guard frame height of 2440mm, making it flexible in narrow working environments such as factory workshops and container yards. The minimum outer turning radius of 3350mm enables easy U-turns in narrow channels, improving handling efficiency by 30% compared to similar models.
The
reinforced chassis and 7.50-16-12PR heavy-duty tires (front double tires) provide a ground pressure of only 0.7MPa, minimizing subsidence in soft soil areas such as port cargo yards. The forklift has a maximum climbing capacity of 20°, enabling stable operation on ramps in outdoor cargo yards and mountainous logistics stations.
The ROPS/FOPS certified safety cab prioritizes operator comfort and safety for long-hour overseas operations:
- Ergonomic Design: The cab features a suspended adjustable seat, low-noise interior (≤72dB) and an optimized operating lever layout, reducing operator fatigue during 8-hour+ continuous shifts. The large front and side windows provide 360° visibility, ensuring safe operation in crowded port and factory environments.
- Intelligent Monitoring & Safety: The instrument panel displays real-time data such as engine speed, fuel consumption and hydraulic pressure in multiple languages (English, Japanese, Arabic), while the SAS system alerts the operator of potential stability risks through sound and light signals. The anti-slip floor mat and safety belt reminder function further enhance operational safety.
- Convenient Maintenance: Daily maintenance points such as oil level, coolant and air filter are accessible at ground level, cutting maintenance time by 25%. The modular design of the engine and hydraulic system allows for quick component replacement, even in remote overseas sites. Common spare parts (filters, brake pads, hydraulic hoses) are available in Toyota’s regional warehouses in Dubai, Singapore and Hamburg, with a delivery time of 7-10 days.
With overall dimensions of 3460×1995×2440mm and a minimum outer turning radius of 3350mm, the FD50 has a compact and sturdy body. The anti-corrosion Toyota gray paint resists salt spray in coastal port areas and sand abrasion in desert logistics yards, while the reinforced counterweight ensures stable operation during 5-ton heavy-load lifting.
The Toyota 14Z-II diesel engine (5.204L displacement, 66kW rated power) is neatly arranged in a sealed engine compartment with a large radiator for efficient heat dissipation. The double-layer air filter prevents dust from entering the engine, which is crucial for long-term operation in high-dust port and mining areas in the Middle East.
The fork frame with a load center of 600mm is made of high-strength steel, with reinforced fork teeth that can withstand 5-ton heavy loads for a long time. The maximum lifting height of 4500mm (optional) is suitable for stacking 3-layer containers or high warehouse shelves, while the load-sensing hydraulic system ensures smooth and precise lifting actions.
The spacious cab is equipped with an ergonomic operating lever, a multi-language digital instrument panel and an optional air conditioning system (cooling capacity 4kW), adapting to temperatures from -10°C to 45°C. The SAS system monitor displays real-time stability data, and the waterproof switches and dust-proof seals suit rainy tropical regions in Southeast Asia.
