Used LPG TCM Counterbalance Forklift
Used TCM FG25T3C Forklift Model
This used TCM FG25T3C is a 2.5 tonne LPG counterbalance forklift for businesses that want a later-model machine with low hours and a proper working spec. It is a good fit for warehouses, loading areas and general site work where the goal is simple: buy a used forklift that still feels tight, capable and ready to earn its keep.
This 2018 model has only 1,362 hours and comes fitted with a 3-stage mast, 4,800 mm lift height, solid tyres, flashing beacon, work lights, 4 hydraulic valves, 1,070 mm forks, seat belt and sideshift. The 3-stage mast is a full-free lift container mast, which means the forks can raise to clear a pallet before the outer mast starts climbing. If the site is unloading containers or working under lower overhead areas, this is very useful.
The 4th hydraulic valve matters as well. Most trucks in this class stop at three. This one gives you a spare auxiliary circuit, which makes future attachment upgrades much easier and cheaper.

Under the bonnet, the TCM FG25T3C is widely associated with the Nissan K25 industrial engine, which is one of the reasons these trucks still get attention in the used market. It is a straightforward, well-known LPG engine with broad local parts support and a reputation for being easy to keep on the floor.
For customers in Perth, this is important. Fast-moving parts, familiar mechanics and less downtime all count for more than a polished sales pitch. Compass Forklifts can supply this used TCM FG25T3C for outright purchase, hire or lease, with finance options available if buying outright is not the right move.
Used TCM FG25T3C Forklift FAQs
Everything you need to know before commiting
Got questions about this used FG25T3C? Here are some of the most common things we get asked about this impressive forklift.
Is 1,362 operating hours considered low for a 2018 TCM forklift?
Yes. It is low. A forklift doing standard single-shift work can easily clock around 1,000 hours a year, so this unit averaging well under 200 hours a year suggests light and intermittent use rather than hard daily production work. That is a strong position for a used truck.
What are the operational benefits of the 4-valve hydraulic system on this specific TCM model?
It gives you a spare auxiliary circuit. Most standard forklifts in this class run three valves for lift, tilt and sideshift. A factory 4-valve setup means you have more flexibility later if you want to fit extra hydraulic attachments without paying to retrofit the whole system.
What engine powers the TCM FG25T3C, and is it easy to service in WA?
This series is commonly associated with the Nissan K25 industrial engine, which is well regarded because it is simple, reliable and easy for local mechanics to work on. In Perth, that matters because parts and routine service items are easier to source than they are on more obscure setups.
Can this TCM 2.5-tonne forklift operate inside standard shipping containers?
Yes, that is one of the practical advantages of the mast setup. The 3-stage mast is a full-free lift configuration, which allows the forks to raise before the outer mast lifts. That makes it much more usable inside containers and under lower clearance areas than a basic mast arrangement.
Why choose this 2018 TCM over a cheaper, older used 2.5 tonne forklift?
Because the risk profile is different. A later-model truck with low hours, a container mast and a 4-valve setup gives you more working life, better flexibility and less chance of stepping straight into repair bills. If the forklift is going to be a proper working asset, not just a backup in the corner, that difference matters.
