The Komatsu FG18ST-17 forklift is a gasoline-powered industrial lift truck designed for efficient material handling with a load capacity of 3,500 lbs (1,588 kg) and a maximum fork height reaching 10.7 ft (3.25 m). Powered by a K21 engine with a displacement of 126 cubic inches (2,065 cc) and 4 cylinders, it delivers 60.1 hp at 2950 rpm while generating 115 lbs-ft of torque at 1600 rpm, ensuring strong performance for demanding lifting tasks. The forklift has a compact build with a wheelbase of 4 ft, an overall width of approximately 3.2 ft, and a ground clearance of 4 inches, making it suitable for narrow aisle and indoor operations. The mast system features two sections capable of a 7-degree forward and backward tilt, with lift and lower speeds of 123 ft/min and 97 ft/min respectively, allowing precise load manipulation. Its right-angle stack dimension is about 7.1 ft, and the mast can handle load centers of 23.7 inches. The operator’s overhead guard height stands at 6.5 ft, and the overall height with the mast lowered is approximately 7 ft, enabling clearance in low-ceiling environments. Operational characteristics include a maximum travel speed of 10.3 mph, two front and two rear cushion-type tires for smooth indoor surface mobility, and an operating weight of around 6,450 lbs. The Komatsu FG18ST-17’s compact turning radius of 5.9 ft enhances maneuverability in confined spaces, making it a versatile forklift for warehouse and manufacturing facility usage.
