Brand: TCM – A pioneering Japanese material handling brand under Hitachi Group, with 72+ years of forklift manufacturing expertise and a global network of 180+ authorized service centers and 9 regional parts warehouses (Dubai, Singapore, Johannesburg, etc.). It dominates 12%+ of the 11-ton diesel forklift market in emerging economies, trusted for Isuzu-engine durability, precision hydraulic systems, and rugged construction tailored to hot, dusty, and coastal operating environments. TCM forklifts are the top choice for port authorities, logistics hubs, and heavy industrial enterprises requiring high-intensity heavy-load handling.
Model: TCM FD110Z8 (production years 2010-2018) – The flagship 11-ton heavy-duty forklift in TCM’s Z8 series, engineered for extreme load-bearing tasks. Core specifications: Rated load of 11,000kg (at 600mm load center); standard lift height of 3000mm (upgradable to 8000mm with a 4-stage full-free lift mast); minimum turning radius of 3900mm; powered by an Isuzu 6BG1T 125kW turbocharged diesel engine paired with a 3-speed automatic transmission (3 forward/3 reverse gears); compliant with Tier 2/EU Stage II emission standards. It excels in 40ft container handling, high-volume warehouse stacking, and rough-terrain outdoor operations, favored by Middle Eastern port operators and Southeast Asian construction firms for its unrivaled stability, fuel efficiency, and low long-term operational costs.
Dimensions: 4250mm (overall length, excluding forks) × 2350mm (overall width) × 2650mm (overall height, mast lowered); minimum turning radius: 3900mm. The reinforced 4800kg counterweight ensures unshakeable stability when lifting 11-ton loads, even on uneven port ramps or construction site ground. The body features a dual-layer anti-corrosion coating (epoxy primer + TCM orange topcoat), providing superior resistance to salt spray, industrial dust, and chemical corrosion—critical for coastal and industrial environments. With an unloaded weight of 12,800kg, the forklift maintains perfect balance during high-lift operations, effectively eliminating tipping risks and ensuring maximum operational safety.
Equipped with the industry-proven Isuzu 6BG1T turbocharged diesel engine, delivering a maximum power of 125kW @ 2200rpm and peak torque of 550N·m @ 1600rpm. This enables a loaded gradeability of 28% and unloaded gradeability of 36%, effortlessly navigating steep ramps in port yards and construction sites without power loss. The advanced load-sensing hydraulic system adapts pressure and flow to load demands, providing a lift speed of 400mm/s (loaded) and 460mm/s (unloaded), plus a lowering speed of 360mm/s (loaded) and 410mm/s (unloaded). High-pressure resistant hydraulic hoses and imported NOK seals prevent leaks even during 12-hour continuous operation, minimizing maintenance downtime and ensuring consistent performance in high-intensity work scenarios.
The ultra-spacious cab features an ergonomic adjustable suspension seat with lumbar support and safety belt, significantly reducing operator fatigue during long 8-12 hour shifts. The low-noise design (≤86dB) creates a comfortable working environment even in busy port or warehouse settings. Intuitively arranged controls—including an integrated joystick for hydraulic functions (lift, tilt, side shift) and a simple automatic transmission shifter—simplify operation, requiring only basic training for new operators to master. The 3900mm turning radius, combined with wide-view rearview mirrors and an optional reverse alarm, enhances maneuverability in crowded container yards and narrow warehouse aisles, improving both work efficiency and operational safety.
