Engine Make And Model:
Mitsubishi Forklift Trucks typically utilize their own proprietary engines or engines from reputable industrial engine manufacturers (e.g., Nissan/Jatco, Yanmar, or specific industrial gasoline/LPG/diesel variants depending on FG10 sub-model and region). Specific engine model required for precise specs.
Fuel Type:
Likely LPG (Liquefied Petroleum Gas) or Gasoline for the FG series, potentially Diesel variants depending on specific sub-model.
Horsepower Range:
Typically in the 30-60 HP range, optimized for torque and reliability in forklift applications.
Torque Characteristics:
Emphasizes low-end torque for lifting heavy loads and consistent performance.
Fuel Delivery:
Carburetor or Fuel Injection System (depending on engine variant).
Ignition System:
Spark Ignition (for gasoline/LPG), Compression Ignition (for diesel).
Cooling Type:
Water-cooled, typically with a radiator, fan, and coolant pump.
Oil Type And Capacity:
Refer to specific engine variant in manual; typically SAE 10W-30 or 15W-40 diesel engine oil (API CK-4 or similar) for diesel, or appropriate gasoline engine oil for gasoline/LPG models. Capacity varies, e.g., 4-6 liters.
Type:
Automatic Transmission (Torque Converter with Planetary Gearset) is standard for most Mitsubishi FG series forklifts for smooth operation and load handling.
Optional Types:
Less common, but manual transmissions might exist in very specific industrial applications or older models.
Shift Control:
Forward/Neutral/Reverse lever or column-mounted selector.
Cooling:
Often integrated transmission oil cooler, typically via a heat exchanger connected to the engine's cooling system or a separate cooler.
Fluid Type:
Dexron III/Mercon or equivalent ATF (Automatic Transmission Fluid) is common. Consult manual for specific Mitsubishi fluid designations.
Fluid Capacity:
Varies by model, typically 8-12 liters. Specific capacity required from manual.
Overall Length:
Variable by mast configuration and configuration, typically 2.5-3.5 meters excluding forks.
Overall Width:
Variable, typically 1.0-1.3 meters.
Mast Height Lowered:
Variable, typically 2.0-2.5 meters.
Mast Height Raised:
Variable, typically 4.0-6.0 meters, depending on mast type (e.g., Duplex, Triplex).
Operating Weight:
Typically in the range of 2500-3500 kg, including battery/fuel.
Load Capacity:
The 'FG10' designation strongly implies a 1.0 metric ton (approx. 2200 lbs) nominal lift capacity.
Fork Length:
Standard lengths such as 1070mm (42 inches) or 1220mm (48 inches) are common.
Industry Standards:
Designed to meet ANSI/ASME B56.1, ISO 3691, and relevant regional safety standards for industrial trucks.
Braking System:
Hydraulic disc or drum brakes, with a separate parking brake system.
Operator Presence System:

Load Stability:
Counterweight design and mast stability features to prevent tipping.
Overhead Guard:
Standard feature to protect the operator from falling loads.
Seatbelt:
Typically provided for operator restraint.
Backup Alarm:
Audible warning system when reversing.

Basic operator interface; typically includes hour meter, fuel gauge, warning lights (e.g., engine oil pressure, battery charge, hydraulic temperature), and control levers. Advanced infotainment systems are not typical for this class of industrial equipment.
Assistance Features:
Operator presence system, audible alarms, stable mast control features. Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) like lane keeping or adaptive cruise control are not applicable.
Telematics Options:
Optional telematics hardware may be available for fleet management, monitoring operating hours, fault codes, and location, but is not a standard feature in all FG10 units.
Daily Checks:
Fluid levels (engine oil, hydraulic oil, coolant, brake fluid), tire pressure/condition, battery connections, horn, lights, backup alarm, visual inspection for leaks or damage.
Periodic Maintenance:
Engine oil and filter change (e.g., every 250-500 operating hours), transmission fluid and filter change (e.g., every 1000-2000 operating hours), hydraulic filter change (e.g., every 1000-2000 operating hours), air filter replacement, spark plug replacement (gasoline/LPG), fuel filter replacement.
Lubrication:
Refer to detailed lubrication chart in the manual for greasing points (e.g., mast channels, steering linkages, drive axle pivots) at specified intervals (e.g., daily, weekly, monthly).
Engine Oil:
Refer to manual for specific viscosity and API classification based on engine type and operating temperature (e.g., SAE 15W-40 API CK-4 for diesel, SAE 10W-30 API SN for gasoline/LPG).
Hydraulic Fluid:
ISO VG 32 or ISO VG 46 hydraulic oil is common. Specific Mitsubishi-approved fluids should be confirmed in the manual.
Transmission Fluid:
ATF Type Dexron III/Mercon or equivalent. Consult manual for specific Mitsubishi fluid part numbers or equivalents.
Coolant:
Ethylene glycol based antifreeze/coolant mixed with distilled water (50/50 ratio). Refer to manual for specific freeze protection level.
