Fenwick Forklift trucks, LPG (Evo series)

Coolant capacity & service interval

Fenwick Forklift trucks, LPG (Evo series) utilize coolant with a capacity range of 14 to 16,5 liters. Service intervals consist of a 10 hour check and a change every 24 months or 6000 hours. The data covers 6 configurations.

The configuration chart below lists fill volumes and service intervals for each engine and trim variant.

Additional Notes

  • All six Fenwick Forklift trucks, LPG (Evo series) configurations listed here share the Volkswagen 3.6-liter VR6 engine, a narrow-angle six-cylinder unit originally developed for passenger vehicles and adapted for industrial forklift applications.
  • The base cooling system capacity across the H50T, H60T, H70T, H80T, H80/900T, and H80/1100T models is 14 liters, representing the fill volume for the engine cooling circuit without an auxiliary cabin heater installed.
  • When a heater unit is fitted, the total cooling system capacity rises to 16.5 liters, reflecting the additional fluid volume held within the heater core and its connecting hoses.
  • The 2.5-liter difference between the standard and heater-equipped capacities is a relevant detail at service time, as underfilling a heater-equipped system to the base 14-liter figure would leave the circuit short of its designed volume.
  • Coolant level checks are specified at every 10 operating hours under normal use conditions, a notably short interval consistent with the demanding thermal cycles typical of LPG-powered forklift operation.
  • The coolant change interval is set at 24 months or 6,000 operating hours, whichever comes first, applying a dual time-and-usage trigger that accounts for both calendar-based fluid degradation and wear from active service hours.
  • The H50T, H60T, H70T, H80T, H80/900T, and H80/1100T models all carry identical cooling system specifications, indicating that the VW 3.6-liter VR6 installation is consistent across the full load-capacity range of the Evo series covered here.
  • The H80 designation appears in three distinct variants — H80T, H80/900T, and H80/1100T — which differ in load capacity ratings while sharing the same engine and cooling system specifications.
