TOYOTA 1.6 ~ 3.0 ton FBMF 16 ~ 30 counterbalance type electric 4-wheel forklift trucks have had an established reputation as high performance forklift trucks since first their model launched in 1989.
There have been rising demands for clean electric forklift trucks with relevant to environmental concern; and further the market wants higher capacity forklift than 3.0 ton beside the existing capacity models.
Keeping these points in mind, the design concepts were established, as follows:
1. AC induction motor
Making best use of the advantages of AC induction motor drive system to respond to customer's needs for the
most suitable load handling system.
2. SAS - System of Active Stability
In order to gain better stability, SAS has been developed. SAS, adopted by 7 series, has already won high confidence from the industrial truck markets.
This same level of stability will be incorporated into the new 7FBMF 16 ~ 50 models.
3. Introducing larger capacity models of 3.5 ton and over in addition to new 1 ~ 3 ton capacity models to enhance the product range.
Creation of over 3.5 ton capacity models has been undertaken together with the model changes launched for 1
~ 3 ton capacity models.
Most of all, the AC induction drive motor system has been a pioneering endeavor having rallied our technological
powers for a successful introduction in our products. Excellent features inherent to AC induction motor have
been used to its full advantages with success.
Furthermore, varied demands for additional features have been implemented. Emphasis has been placed on
system design development such as the mini-lever system and the wet brake system, etc.
The 7FBMF 16 ~ 50 models certainly have outstanding features compared to other forklift models. On operation,
the differences are so obvious in fundamentals, performance, comfort, etc. New 7FBMF 16 ~ 50 models are
commendable as an epoch in new era.

AC power system as compared with DC power system
In the DC power system the controller will chop the battery current in repetition and control the frequency
cycles of ON and OFF. The motor performance will change in proportion with the frequency cycles between
ON and OFF, thereby the inching at start to the max. performance is controlled.
The AC power system in the new models includes a controller that transforms the battery current into a threephase alternating current. The motor power is controlled by changing the sinusoidal waveform (frequency,
amplitude, etc.) of the three-phase alternating current.
Motor drive voltage, motor construction, and controller details differ between DC and AC power systems, as
follows:

Power keep function
(Functions in power mode: P, standard mode: S)
Power keep function using the benefit of AC power system further lengthen the operation hours epochally.
With conventional electric powered forklift trucks, the vehicle performance decreases gradually as the battery
level goes low.
The power keep function adopted to new models takes advantage of the increased controllability provided by
the AC system to keep the vehicle performance even when the battery level has become low. With this power
keep function, the maximum operating hours have increased by 25%, and the number of work cycles that can
be completed without the operator noticing a decline in performance has also increased by 25%.
New power keep function offers a significant and essential improvement in the material handling efficiency.

Power select function
Using the power select function, the operator can select a desirable power mode.
Even though the conventional models also had a power selection switch, it only produced a small difference in
the acceleration.
New models use an AC motor instead of a DC motor.
Since and AC motor is simpler and smaller, it becomes possible to install a motor that produces an output higher
than that of a conventional DC motor.
In addition, the operator can select appropriate mode from the following power modes simply by operating a
switch.
• High power mode
: The most active mode with the quickest cycle-time
<H mode>
• Power mode
: The highest efficiency mode with quick cycle time and long operation hour
<P mode>
• Standard mode
: The longest operation hour mode with the performance equivalent to MFRA
<S mode>
In order to further satisfy the individual customer, a power select function has been provided.
The power select function enables the operator to select one from six power modes, including H, P and S modes,
for traveling. The operator can select H mode for operations requiring power and high performance. Select S
mode for long time operations, providing the operator with optimum performance to suit the operator’s needs
and greatly enhance efficiency.

Taking advantage of the wider control range of the AC power system, a regenerative system is adopted.
The AC induction motor generates a braking force when the vehicle is traveling with the accelerator pedal at rest.
Also the electromotive force generated in the AC motor, while the accelerator pedal is released, converts the
braking effect energy into electrical energy that is sent to the battery.
This regenerative system increases the operation hours. At the same time, the regenerative system improves
the traveling feel because it allows the operator to use less brake pedal force to slow the truck down. Furthermore, the regenerative system reduces load on the brake system, slowing down brake lining wear and decreasing the brake maintenance costs.
1-13
Stabilizing features
The world-first System of Active Stability (SAS), adopted by the 7FB series models, is available for the new models, too.
Using the SAS the new models achieve the stability level equivalent to that achieved by the 7FB series models.
The following outlines the SAS. For more details of the SAS option, refer to Section 11 “SAS”.
Stability featureOutline
Rear stabilizer (swing lock)The rear wheel swing mechanism is locked at high lift-heights and
heavy loads, and during a quick turn to obtain a better ground grip
force from all four wheels.
Mast function control
Front tilt angle controlThe front tilt angle is smaller at high heights and heavy loads;
greater at low heights and light loads.
Rear tilt speed controlThe rear tilt speed is slower at high heights and faster at low
heights.
Key-lift interlockThe lift lever cannot function by inadvertent contact.
Automatic fork leveling controlA push on a control button followed by a front tilt operation tilts the
mast until the forks are horizontal.
Improvement on operability
1. Mini lever
The hydraulic control levers are displaced to the arm rest fore-front and optimal length, and spacing are
given on basis of human engineering. An operator can manipulate the control lever with a hand on the
arm rest. Fine operation adjustment can be achieved with the display. The control lever position is adjustable vertically as well as to lengthwise.
Pleasant material handling operation with less fatigue can be ensured.
1-14
Anti-rollback
The anti-rollback function is provided to prevent the truck from rolling down on a slope. This is realized by making
use of the combined features of the drive motor electric brake and the parking brake.
Restarting can be done smoothly without rolling down.
Model line-up
The model line-up has been widened by the development to 3.5 ~ 5 ton class new model ranges; besides, the
1.8 ton model is added onto the 1 ~ 3 ton classes to meet with varied needs from the markets.
The AC motor drive system controller has been provided with:
• Microcomputer-assisted travel inverter control (converts DC to three-phase AC)
• CAN (Controller Area Network) communication function between main controller and traveling/material handling controller.
• Communication function between multiple display and SAS controller.
This is a multi-functional controller with advanced electronics technology.
The controller offers the power select function and power keep function that take full advantage of the AC power
system.
Power select function: Allows the operator to select from three traveling modes, H (High power) mode, P (Power) mode, and S (Standard) mode.
Power keep function: Maintains a high performance level even when the battery level becomes low and increases stress-free operation hours. (Available when P or S mode is selected.)

Revolution
Compared to the DC motor, the AC motor has
higher output and a range of output characteristics is obtainable from the increased output.
Torque
When the battery is discharged, the AC motor
provides output characteristics closer to those of
a fully charged battery than a DC motor does.

Revolution
Compared with a DC motor of an equivalent size, an AC motor has a higher output.
The output characteristics of an AC motor are determined by the amplitude and frequency of the alternating current output by the controller.
The controller has a map stored in its memory of the optimum combinations of the current and frequency. Using
these, the optimum output characteristics can be obtained for all conditions. When the power selection switch is
operated, the controller switches the map and changes the output characteristics. The power select function thus
enables the output characteristics to be changed in accordance with the vehicle usage conditions.
Power keep function
With a DC power system, the output characteristics are determined by the controller output voltage. The maximum output, therefore, is the output from the motor when the battery voltage is fully applied (chopper duty
100%). The output will decrease with the battery voltage as the battery is discharged.
With an AC power system, however, it is possible to maintain a high performance even when the battery level
becomes low because the combination of the amplitude and frequency of the alternating current is changed as
the battery level goes low.

1. Regenerative system (accelerator off)
When the vehicle travels with the accelerator off, a braking force produced by the motor generates electricity,
which is retrieved by the battery. The working of the regenerative system extends the available operation
hours and the service life of brake linings. At the same time, the regenerative system improves the travel
speed controllability and stability because it allows the operator to use the soft braking force exerted by the
motor. Even if the direction lever is at the neutral position, the regenerative system will function when the
accelerator is off.
2-5
2. Regenerative system (brake pedal depressed)
Regenerative system is operated when the brake pedal is depressed as well, which allows to extend the
available operation hours and the service life of brake lining.
Even if the direction is at the neutral position, the regenerative system will function when the brake pedal is
depressed.
3. Regenerative system (switch back)
The switch back operation (It means the directional change during traveling) also regenerate electricity like
the previous model. Furthermore the AC controller in the new model has no contactor for traveling so that
the switch back operates smoother than before.
4. Power select function
Three traveling and material handling modes are available from a selection switch on the multiple display: H
(high power) mode, P (power) mode, and S (standard) mode.
5. Advanced power select function (option)
The advanced power select function allows the operator to select a traveling power mode and a material handling power mode independently from each other. It also allows the operator to define a mode other than H,
P, and S.
6. Power keep function
The power keep function maintains the vehicle performance at a high level even when the battery level is
low. With the new models, stress-free operation hours for a battery charged have increased.
(The power keep function is available only when the operator selects P or S mode.)
7. Auto-off system
If the operator leaves the vehicle with the key switch ON, the auto-off system forcibly shuts down the controller (equivalent to key switch OFF) after a preset period to prevent wasteful expenditure of energy. To restart the vehicle, turn the key switch OFF and then ON.

8. Seat switch
The seat switch does not allow the vehicle to travel as well as any material handling to operate by the minilevers unless someone is on the operator's seat.
9. Anti-rollback function
The anti-rollback function makes it easy to start the vehicle on an inclined surface. This function is achieved
by controlling both the drive motor and the brake system.
10. 2-speed travel speed control
The 2-speed travel speed control switch sets a speed limit.
The set value is adjustable by a switch on the multiple display.
11. Thermal Protector
Overheat warning:
Temperature in the controllers and motors are monitored by temperature sensors. If an abnormally high temperature is detected, the controller output is reduced to prevent overheating. The display will warn the operator.

12. Battery level computation
The controller monitors decrease in the battery voltage, computes the remaining capacity, and displays it as
the current battery level.
13. Diagnostic function
The diagnostic function can detect abnormalities in the traveling controller and the material handling controller, operation mechanisms such as the accelerator, and sensors. When an abnormality is detected, the diagnostic function outputs a diagnostic code and takes the appropriate measure.
14. Analyzer function
The multiple display has an analyzer mode that can be used for troubleshooting or for testing operation
mechanisms and motor drivers.
15. Over-discharge warning function
When the remaining capacity level reaches a specified level, the multiple display shows a warning and the
load handling operation is restricted.
This will protect the battery and will urge the operator to charge the battery.
It is possible to release this restriction temporarily by turning the key switch off at once before resetting as
emergency measures.
16. Return-to-neutral function
If the operator turns the key switch ON with the direction lever at the forward or reverse position or with the
accelerator pedal depressed, the vehicle will not start. The operator has to return the direction lever and accelerator pedal to their neutral positions once in order to allow it to restart.
17. Parking brake ON warning
The buzzer sounds when the operator attempt to start the truck with the parking brake switch turned ON.
18. Parking brake OFF warning
The buzzer sounds to warn the operator when moving from the drive seat without the parking brake switch
turned on.
19. Mini-lever control
Based on operation signals of the mini-lever, the main controller controls material handling operation by controlling solenoid valves and the material handling controller.
