Engine Diesel Variants:
Yanmar 4TNE92, Yanmar 4TNE98
Engine Lpg Variants:
Nissan K21, Nissan K25
Performance Diesel 4Tne92
Engine Diesel 4Tne92 Specs:
Likely a 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated diesel engine. Specific HP/Torque not provided in product info, but typical for its class would be in the 35-50 HP range.
Performance Diesel 4Tne98
Engine Diesel 4Tne98 Specs:
Likely a 4-cylinder, naturally aspirated diesel engine with a larger displacement than the 4TNE92, offering increased power and torque for heavier duty cycles. Typical HP range might be 45-60 HP.
Engine Lpg K21 Specs:
Likely a 4-cylinder, overhead valve LPG engine. Known for smooth operation and lower emissions. Typical HP range around 40-55 HP.
Engine Lpg K25 Specs:
Likely a 4-cylinder, overhead valve LPG engine with a larger displacement than the K21, offering improved performance for heavier loads. Typical HP range around 50-65 HP.
Fuel System Diesel:
Direct Injection, Common Rail (likely for 4TNE98), or Indirect Injection diesel fuel system.
Fuel System Lpg:
Pressurized LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) system with vapor withdrawal, regulator, and fuel mixer/injector.
Transmission Type:
Automatic Transmission (model TXL20 for 1.5-2.0 ton variants, TXL30 for 2.5-3.0 ton variants).
Transmission Features:
Designed for smooth power delivery and efficient operation in material handling. Likely features include torque converter for shock absorption and ease of operation, hydrostatic power steering integration.
Model Variants Capacities:
RC40-15 (1.5 ton), RC40-18 (1.8 ton), RC40-20 (2.0 ton), RC40-25 (2.5 ton), RC40-30 (3.0 ton).
