Engine Type:
Mitsubishi FG Series forklifts typically utilize reliable and durable industrial engines. Specific model for FGC30K likely a LPG, gasoline, or diesel variant. Common engines could be from Mitsubishi's industrial engine division (e.g., S4S, S4Q-T, 4G63 derived industrial variants) or other reputable industrial engine manufacturers depending on market region and specific build.
Lift Capacity:
3000 kg (approximately 6,600 lbs) - as indicated by '30' in FGC30K model designation.
Mast Height:
Variable, typically available in multiple configurations (e.g., Duplex, Triplex) ranging from standard to high lift, depending on application.
Fuel Type:
Likely LPG (Liquid Propane Gas) or Gasoline, with Diesel variants also possible depending on market and specific designation. The 'GC' in FGC often denotes Gas Counterbalance.
Type:
Likely a hydrostatic transmission or a torque converter automatic transmission, providing smooth acceleration and precise control, common in industrial forklifts.
Options:
While variations exist, the core FGC30K is likely equipped with a specific transmission type. Manual transmission is highly unlikely for this class of forklift.
Control:
Ease of operation, inching control for precise load placement, forward/reverse shuttle control.
Length To Fork Face:
Varies based on mast and configuration, but typical for a 3-ton forklift. (Specific data requires referencing the manual).
Overall Width:
Varies, but designed to fit standard warehouse aisles. (Specific data requires referencing the manual).
Turning Radius:
Designed for maneuverability in confined spaces. (Specific data requires referencing the manual).
Operating Weight:
Typically in the range of 4,000-5,000 kg, depending on fuel type, mast, and attachments. (Specific data requires referencing the manual).
Certification:
Complies with relevant ANSI/ASME B56.1 standards for industrial powered industrial trucks and OSHA regulations for safe operation. CE marking may apply for European markets.
Operator Presence System:
Standard feature to prevent forklift operation when the operator is not seated.
Load Backrest:
Standard safety feature to prevent falling loads from contacting the operator.
Overhead Guard:

50 Hour Service:
Lubricate mast channels, lift chains, steer axle pivots. Check tire pressure. Inspect for leaks.
250 Hour Service:
Engine oil and filter change. Air filter inspection/replacement. Fuel filter replacement (if applicable). Hydraulic filter replacement. Inspect drive unit and transmission fluid levels. Check all belts.
1000 Hour Service:
Transmission fluid change. Differential fluid check/change. Coolant flush and refill. Inspect and adjust brakes. Inspect all hoses and connections. Thorough inspection of mast and hydraulics.
Engine Oil:
API CG-4 or CH-4 classification, SAE 15W-40 is common for industrial diesel/LPG engines, but specific viscosity depends on operating temperature range. Consult the manual for precise grade and capacity.
Hydraulic Fluid:
ISO VG 46 or equivalent high-quality hydraulic fluid suitable for industrial applications. Specific Mitsubishi-approved fluids may be recommended. Capacity varies.
Transmission Fluid:
Depends on transmission type (e.g., ATF Type T-IV for some torque converters, specific hydrostatic fluid). Consult the manual for exact specification and capacity.
Common Wear Items:
Lift chains, mast rollers, hydraulic cylinder seals, tires, brake pads/shoes, tilt cylinders.
Potential Failures:
