Engine Family:
Mitsubishi FD, FG, and FGE series forklifts typically utilize various Mitsubishi industrial diesel and LPG/gasoline engines, often from their S4, S6, or K series, depending on the specific model and capacity. Exact engine details would depend on the specific forklift model covered within the series.
Typical Power Output:
Varies significantly based on engine and forklift capacity, ranging from approximately 30 HP to over 100 HP for larger industrial applications. The manual would detail specific power and torque figures for each engine variant.
Fuel Types:
Diesel, LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas), Gasoline (Petrol)
Type:
Water-cooled, typically with a radiator, fan, and coolant circulation system.
Oil Type:
Specific oil grades (e.g., API CD/CF or higher for diesel, SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 depending on operating temperature) will be detailed in the manual.
Type:
Likely to cover both manual (e.g., clutch and gearbox) and automatic (torque converter with powershift or hydrostatic transmission) systems, common in forklifts for efficient load handling.
Variations:
The manual will cover different transmission configurations specific to the FD, FG, and FGE series models.
Features:
Details on shift control, torque converter operation, hydrostatic drive systems, and related hydraulic components.
Fluid Type:
Specific transmission fluid types (e.g., ATF Type T-II/T-III for automatic transmissions, specialized hydraulic oils for hydrostatic systems) will be provided.
General Description:
Forklift dimensions vary significantly by model and capacity. The manual would provide specific overall length, width, height, mast height (lowered and raised), and turning radius for each model covered.
Operating Weight:
Weight will vary based on model, configuration, and attachments. Specific curb weights and load capacities are detailed within the manual.
Capacity Range:
The FD, FG, and FGE series encompass a wide range of load capacities, typically from 1,000 kg up to 10,000 kg or more, depending on the specific model designation.
General Description:
While specific safety ratings like NCAP are not applicable to forklifts, the manual will cover operational safety features, stability data, and recommended safe operating practices.
Operational Safety:
Emergency stop systems, parking brake, load handling safety interlocks, operator presence systems.
Operator Protection:
Overhead guards (FOPs - Falling Object Protection), seat belts, stable mast and chassis design.
General Description:
Forklifts typically do not feature traditional infotainment systems. Technology focus is on operational control and diagnostics.
Operational Aids:
Features like automatic transmission control, electronic monitoring of engine and hydraulic systems for optimal performance and fault detection.
Diagnostic Ports:
Onboard diagnostic ports for connecting to service tools to read fault codes, monitor live data, and perform system calibrations.
Typical Intervals:
The manual will detail specific service intervals for engine oil and filter changes (e.g., every 250-500 hours), transmission fluid, hydraulic fluid, air filters, fuel filters, spark plugs (for LPG/gasoline), brake inspections, and general lubrication, typically based on operating hours.
Engine Oil:
Detailed specifications for diesel and LPG/gasoline engine oils, including API service classifications and viscosity grades (e.g., SAE 10W-30, 15W-40).
Hydraulic Fluid:
Specifications for hydraulic oil, often ISO VG 32 or 46, with emphasis on anti-wear properties and thermal stability.
Coolant:
Recommendations for coolant type and mixture ratio (e.g., ethylene glycol-based with corrosion inhibitors).
Common Wear Items:
The manual will likely provide guidance on common wear items such as hydraulic hoses, lift chains, fork wear, tire wear, brake pads/shoes, and operator controls.
Troubleshooting Guidance:
Extensive sections dedicated to diagnosing and rectifying common problems such as hydraulic leaks, engine misfires, transmission shifting issues, and electrical faults.
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries:
Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. (MHI) has a long and established history in manufacturing industrial equipment, including a strong presence in the materials handling sector with its forklift division.
Series Progression:
The FD, FG, and FGE series represent Mitsubishi's continuous development in forklift technology, incorporating advancements in engine efficiency, ergonomics, hydraulics, and safety features across different production eras.
Manufacturing Locations:
Mitsubishi forklifts are manufactured globally, with significant production facilities in Japan and other regions. The manual would likely cover forklifts produced for various international markets.
