Brand: TCM – A top-tier Japanese material handling brand under Hitachi Group, holding a 10%+ market share in the 7-ton diesel forklift segment across the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa. It has 180+ global authorized service centers and 9 regional parts warehouses (e.g., Dubai, Singapore, Johannesburg), renowned for its Isuzu engine durability and high-precision hydraulic system, and widely used in high-intensity heavy-load scenarios like port container handling and industrial logistics.
Model: TCM FD70Z8 – A 7-ton diesel counterbalanced forklift (main production years 2010-2018). It features a rated load of 7000kg (load center 600mm), standard lift height of 3000mm (upgradable to 8000mm), minimum turning radius of 3500mm, and is powered by an Isuzu 6BG1T 107kW diesel engine with an automatic transmission (3 forward/3 reverse gears), meeting Tier 2/EU Stage II emission standards. It excels in heavy container handling, large-scale warehouse stacking, and outdoor yard cargo transfer, and is particularly favored by Middle Eastern port operators and Southeast Asian construction enterprises for its robust performance and low total cost of ownership.
Overall dimensions: 3650×2100×2500mm (L×W×H); minimum turning radius: 3500mm. The heavy-duty counterweight ensures stable 7-ton load lifting, and the anti-corrosion orange paint resists salt spray and industrial dust. The 9800kg (unloaded) weight guarantees operational stability during heavy-load lifting.
The Isuzu 6BG1T 6.5L turbocharged 6-cylinder diesel engine (107kW/2200rpm) generates strong torque for a max gradeability of 30%. The load-sensing hydraulic system enables a lift speed of 450mm/s (loaded) and 500mm/s (unloaded), and a lowering speed of 400mm/s, ensuring smooth handling of heavy cargoes like steel coils and concrete precast components.
The ergonomic adjustable suspension seat, low-noise cab (≤83dB), and integrated control levers reduce operator fatigue during long shifts. The automatic transmission simplifies operation, and the 3500mm turning radius allows flexible movement in 5m-wide warehouse aisles or crowded container yards.
- Robust & Efficient Power
- Strong Power: Isuzu 6BG1T turbocharged engine provides 107kW power and 480N·m torque, handling 7-ton loads and 30% gradients easily for rough yard/port terrain.
- Cost-Saving Fuel Use: Fuel consumption is 8.0-8.8L per working hour, 10% lower than peers; Tier 2/Stage II emission compliance enables smooth customs clearance in emerging markets.
- Durable Engine: Double-layer air filter and oil-water separator extend engine service life to 11,000 hours, 18% longer than the industry average.
- Precise & Low-Maintenance Hydraulics
- Efficient Lifting: Standard 3000mm lift height (upgradable to 8000mm with a 4-stage mast) boosts stacking efficiency by 12% vs. conventional systems.
- Stable Load Handling: Load-sensing system maintains pressure to prevent load drop; fork tilt angle (forward 6°/backward 12°) fits irregular cargoes.
- Low Upkeep: Hydraulic oil replacement cycle is 4500 hours, and imported seals reduce leakage by 82%, cutting annual maintenance costs by 20%.
- Safe & Comfortable Operation
- Maneuverable Design: 3500mm turning radius and 3650mm overall length facilitate narrow-space work and container transport (1 unit per 40-foot container).
- Safe Cab: FOPS-certified overhead guard, dual-circuit brakes (braking distance ≤3.8m at 10km/h), and wide-view mirrors minimize accident risks.
- Operator Comfort: Spacious cab, adjustable seat, and low-noise design (≤83dB) reduce fatigue during long shifts, and simple controls lower training costs.
- Durable & Easy-To-Maintain Structure
- High-Strength Frame: Heavy-duty steel frame resists impact; anti-corrosion paint extends body service life by 22% in coastal areas.
- Ground-Level Maintenance: Daily checkpoints (engine oil, hydraulic oil, air filter) are easily accessible, reducing maintenance time by 25%.
- Global Spare Parts: Common parts are available from TCM regional warehouses, with a 5-12-day delivery time.
- Port Container Handling: Fits 7-ton container cargoes; anti-salt-spray paint adapts to coastal environments.
- Heavy-Duty Warehousing: Ideal for stacking steel, cement, and other heavy goods in manufacturing/construction material warehouses.
- Outdoor Yard Operations: 30% climbing capacity handles uneven gravel yards; 14.00-24 tires suit rough terrain.
- Industrial Production Lines: Used for raw material feeding and finished product handling in automotive, chemical, and heavy machinery plants, meeting high-frequency heavy-load needs.
- Equipment Inspection: SGS/BV third-party test reports for used units (engine power, hydraulic pressure, tire wear, working hours).
- Compliance Support: Assistance with CO, CE certificates, and emission reports for customs clearance in Middle Eastern/Southeast Asian markets.
- Logistics & Commissioning: 40-foot container transport (1 unit per container) with anti-rust packaging; on-site assembly, training, and maintenance guidance by technicians; English/Arabic/Spanish manuals.
- After-Sales: 1-year free parts warranty, 24/7 online technical support, and local service partners for quick on-site repairs.
It combines Japanese manufacturing precision with 7-ton heavy-load capabilities. The Isuzu turbocharged engine ensures reliable power and fuel efficiency, and the 3500mm turning radius offers flexibility in narrow spaces. It has low long-term costs and easy access to spare parts, making it perfect for heavy-duty, high-frequency material handling in emerging markets.
