TCM Forklift – a modular code built from type, tyres, engine and gearbox
Japanese manufacturer TCM assembles its type code from several building blocks: an initial letter marks the power source — "D" for diesel, "G" for gasoline/LPG — followed by a letter for the tyres, such as "C" for solid tyres. The next number gives the capacity class, followed by a letter for the engine supplier (e.g. "N" for Nissan-built engines, "Z" for Isuzu) and sometimes a code for the transmission type.

The database also lists the CG and HD sub-series, marking TCM's compact LPG line and its heavier diesel line respectively — visible in models such as CG15, CG18, HD15 and HD18, plus their long-fork variants CG15L and HG18L.
Models recorded here span capacities of 1,360.8 to 42,000 kg, lift heights of 3,000 to 9,560 mm, and displacement of 2,064 to 13,742 cm³ across 4 to 6 cylinders; lighter series sit around 26.5 to 38.7 kW of engine power. The bucket thus covers everything from compact warehouse trucks to heavy container/heavy-load forklifts.
For a used TCM, the drive axle and mast condition deserve close attention, as does checking the engine-supplier letter against the unit actually fitted — on older machines, engines were sometimes swapped for a different make during repairs, which complicates sourcing parts and servicing.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
