Turf tires are available as an option, but the Bigfoot is not made for use in rough or muddy terrain.

Product Name: 8fgu25
Manufacturer: Toyota
Interesting features: Uses the 4Y engine manufactured by Toyota specifically for this forklift. It provides high torque at low RPM for excellent fuel efficiency. Active Mast Control and the System of Active Stability come are standard features that enhance safety and improve control of the forklift and its load.
Price Range: Starting in the low $30,000’s
Value for the money: Excellent
Options: There are many factory options available in addition to aftermarket options. Some of the most popular options are 3rd and 4th function valves to provide added versatility such as and side-shifting fork positioners, and one of the reasons the 8fgu25 is called the “Swiss Army Knife” of forklifts.
Traction-treaded solid pneumatic tires are a popular option because they are puncture-resistant yet offer a smooth ride over rougher terrain. For applications where the forklift used is used on non-paved applications (driveways, loading ramps) in addition to smooth surfaces - this is truly the best of both worlds.

Price Range: 5,500 lb capacity models range from $1690 -$5950
(wide positioning = $5815 - $8500)
Value for the money: Cascade's fork positioner offers excellent value for all lift trucks handling different pallet sizes or irregular loads.
Best for: Whether in a single forklift operation or a large fleet, fork positioners can provide flexibility and improve profitability when handling varied load sizes. Fork positioners can provide significant productivity gains in applications where the forklift operator leaves their seat multiple times a day to adjust the position of their forks (or for applications with irregular or varied loads).
- Fork positioners are commonly used in agriculture, paper handling, construction, machine shops, and food and beverage industries.
- High-visibility, hang-on style fork positioners are ideal for distribution, warehousing and manufacturing applications.
- Heavier-duty models meet the needs of more demanding applications such as outdoor or rugged/corrosive environments that require long forks or handling material with extended load centers.
Not recommended for: Any application that can handle all of their loads with the same fork position. For these customers, a standard side-shifter will suffice.
