Brand: TCM – A leading Japanese material handling brand under Hitachi Group, with 70+ years of expertise in forklift R&D and manufacturing. It operates a global network of 180+ authorized service centers and 9 regional parts warehouses (Dubai, Singapore, Johannesburg, etc.), ensuring fast component supply and technical support for emerging markets in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa. TCM forklifts are renowned for reliable performance, fuel efficiency, and durable construction, trusted by small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) in logistics, manufacturing, and warehousing sectors.
Model: TCM FD30T3 (production years 2015-2022) – A 3-ton diesel counterbalanced forklift, the flagship model of TCM’s T3 series for medium-load handling. Core specs: Rated load 3000kg (500mm load center); standard lift height 3000mm (upgradable to 4500mm with 2-stage mast); minimum turning radius 2400mm; powered by Isuzu C240 37kW diesel engine + 3-speed hydraulic torque converter transmission; compliant with Tier 2 emission standards. Ideal for warehouse stacking, factory production line feeding, and logistics yard cargo transfer, it balances maneuverability, cost-effectiveness, and reliability—making it a top choice for SMEs in emerging markets.
Dimensions: 2705mm (length, no forks) × 1225mm (width) × 2090mm (height, mast lowered); minimum turning radius 2400mm. The compact body design enables operation in 3.5m-wide warehouse aisles, maximizing space utilization. Anti-corrosion epoxy primer + TCM orange topcoat resists dust and mild chemical corrosion, suitable for indoor/outdoor use. The ROPS/FOPS-certified overhead guard (EXB type) protects operators from falling objects, while the 3450kg unloaded weight ensures stable full-load operation with minimal tipping risk.
Equipped with the industry-proven Isuzu C240 2.4L 4-cylinder diesel engine (37kW @ 2800rpm, 135N·m @ 1800rpm), delivering fuel efficiency of 4.5-5.0L/h (15% lower than peers). The hydraulic torque converter transmission enables smooth gear shifts (3F/3R) and easy operation for frequent start-stops, reducing operator fatigue. Loaded gradeability of 20% and unloaded gradeability of 30% allow navigation of small slopes in factory yards and warehouse ramps without power loss.
The adjustable suspension seat with lumbar support reduces fatigue during 8-hour shifts, while the low-noise cab (≤82dB) creates a comfortable working environment. Integrated hydraulic control levers (lift/tilt/side shift) are ergonomically positioned for one-hand operation, and the wide-view mast (visibility ≥85%) eliminates blind spots. Dual-circuit drum brakes ensure a stopping distance ≤3.0m (10km/h loaded), with a mechanical parking brake for secure stationary positioning on slopes.
