ISUZU C240: The Industry-Standard Forklift Engine

C240 is a classic forklift diesel engine suitable for forklifts weighing less than 3.5 tons. Due to its excellent performance and reliability, it has been used on forklifts for over ten years. Most forklift manufacturers have this configuration.

Here are some advantages of the ISUZU C240 engine:

Strong power: The Isuzu C240 is equipped with a 2.4-liter turbocharged engine, which has high output power and fast acceleration, suitable for high-speed driving and overtaking.

Fuel economy: This diesel engine adopts advanced fuel injection technology and rapid combustion system, with high fuel utilization efficiency, which can save fuel costs.

Reliability: The use of high-quality components and strict production processes ensures the reliability and durability of this forklift engine.

Low emissions: The forklift diesel engine meets the latest emission standards and adopts advanced emission control technology, so forklifts equipped with C240 diesel engines emit less and are more environmentally friendly.

Quiet: The C240 engine adopts noise reduction technology to reduce the noise inside the internal combustion forklift cab, making driving more comfortable.

The C240 engine belongs to the Isuzu J series and performs well in providing reliable power. Please refer to the specifications below for more information about this engine.

We can see from the parameters why Isuzu C240 is suitable for forklifts.

Power range: The power range of Isuzu C240 is below 40kW, which is exactly what forklifts need. Forklifts typically require low to medium power to provide sufficient power while maintaining fuel efficiency.

Number of cylinders: The diesel engine of this forklift has 4 cylinders, which help provide smooth power transmission and ensure balance during forklift handling and transportation.

Rated power/speed: The rated power is 35.4kW, which occurs at 2500rpm and provides the torque and power required by the forklift, suitable for low-speed operations and high torque requirements.

Maximum torque: The maximum torque at 1800 rpm is 139.9 Nm. This is very important for forklifts to provide sufficient power at low speeds, especially when lifting and transporting heavy objects.

Displacement: The C240 diesel engine has a displacement of 2.369 liters and is usually used in conjunction with forklifts to provide sufficient power and fuel efficiency.

Size and weight: The compact size (693 × 551 × 689mm) and relative weight (252kg) of the entire forklift diesel engine contribute to the compactness and flexibility of the forklift's overall design.

In summary, the parameters of the Isuzu C240 diesel engine make it suitable for forklift applications, providing the required power, torque, and reliability. However, the actual selection should also consider the design requirements and working environment conditions of specific forklift models.
