Every NLEQ machine is carefully tested and inspected before being offered for sale, so you get accurate, honest, and reliable information about what you’re buying.

Advantages

• Propane power for uptime: Propane forklifts are valued for quick refueling and consistent output. You can keep a spare cylinder on hand and swap in minutes, minimizing downtime compared with battery charging or fueling logistics that slow the pace of operations.
• Cushion tires for indoor agility: Cushion tires excel on smooth concrete, offering tighter turning and a smaller footprint versus pneumatic options. That means more confident maneuvering in aisles, around staging areas, and on dock approaches common to indoor material handling.
• Fork positioner for faster, safer handling: With a fork positioner, operators can adjust fork spread from the seat to match pallet or load width. This helps reduce dismounts, speeds up load engagement, and supports better load stability—key for heavy product handling.
• Side shift for precise placement: Side shift allows small left-right carriage adjustments without repositioning the truck. That control shortens placement time, reduces product and racking contact, and helps operators finesse tight placements in crowded bays or on trailers.
• High-capacity confidence: The L220XD’s rated capacity gives you the margin needed to move dense, heavy goods with authority. When lifts must be both safe and efficient, having a heavyweight rating is essential to keep operations within limits and reduce rehandling.
• Mast profile suited to facilities: The collapsed height supports entry under fixed obstructions and into many interior spaces, while the lift height provides the vertical reach for common staging and stacking duties in production, warehousing, and shipping zones.

Applications

• Manufacturing plants: Move dies, molds, steel plate, fabricated assemblies, and production tooling throughout the facility with the stability and control heavy loads require.
• Metal and machine shops: Handle bar stock, billets, heavy parts, and equipment with confidence, while side shift and a fork positioner help align precisely to racks, jigs, and fixtures.
• Warehousing and distribution (smooth floors): Load and unload trailers, stage outbound shipments, and manage inbound heavy goods on dock plates and interior aisles where cushion tires shine.
• Paper, packaging, and printing: Transport large rolls, pallets of sheet stock, or bundled materials safely and efficiently between storage, converting, and finishing areas.
• Building materials under roof: Move engineered wood, panelized components, and bundled product in covered storage and fabrication bays where low emissions and tight maneuvering are priorities.
• Machinery movers and riggers: Position machinery and heavy components with precise control, using side shift and fork positioning to reduce time on-site and minimize rehandling.
• Industrial maintenance and utilities: Support in-plant projects that require lifting and relocating heavy equipment, service parts, or structures within indoor environments.

Choosing this used Lowry L220XD industrial forklift can deliver strong total cost of ownership.
