Heavy-Duty Performance

TCM 12–23 Ton Diesel Forklift

FD120-FD230 forklifts are engineered to handle demanding industrial environments, from bustling port terminals to heavy manufacturing sites.  

These machines combine high-capacity lifting with refined control, ensuring operations remain fluid even under intense workloads. 

With a focus on reducing operator fatigue and optimizing workflow, this range delivers the durability and maneuverability required for challenging cargo handling tasks.

Precision Control and Operator Safety

  • Three-Speed Automatic Transmission: This system automatically manages gear shifts based on operational demand, allowing operators to drive the truck with ease while significantly reducing mental load during complex manoeuvres. 
  • Finger-Touch Shift Lever: Magnetic valves enable gear changes with minimal physical effort. By reducing repetitive strain, operators can maintain productivity throughout long shifts while ensuring precise directional control. 
  • Wet-Disc Parking Brake: This enclosed braking system requires minimal maintenance and provides dependable holding power in harsh conditions, lowering annual maintenance costs and reducing downtime. 
  • Enhanced Drawbar Pull and Gradeability: The optimized powertrain and torque delivery system provide increased traction and climbing capability when operating on inclines or uneven terrain. This allows the forklift to move heavy loads confidently in demanding environments, ensuring consistent productivity without power loss under load. 
  • High-Capacity Fuel Tank: The enlarged 400 L fuel tank supports extended operating hours between refuelling intervals, resulting in longer uninterrupted shifts and improved fleet efficiency. 

Performance Specifications

  • This range is powered by the Isuzu 6BG1T diesel engine, which meets Tier 2 emission standards while delivering the high torque needed for heavy lifting.
  • For consistent reliability, the brake line includes an integrated air dryer as standard, preventing internal freezing or malfunctions in varying climates.
  • All models utilize full hydrostatic power steering for effortless maneuverability in tight storage configurations.
