Overview

The Tusk 800PG-8 is engineered to handle heavier pallets, fixtures, and production materials while maintaining the nimble handling that industrial users expect inside and around warehouses, manufacturing floors, and distribution facilities.

Key Advantages

• Propane power for flexible indoor/outdoor use: Propane-fueled forklifts are a popular choice in manufacturing and warehousing because they refuel quickly and run with reduced exhaust odor and soot compared to many diesel options. For multi-shift operations, swapping LP cylinders helps keep uptime high without waiting for charge cycles.
• 8000# capacity for heavier loads: The Tusk 800PG-8 is built to move substantial palletized product, tooling, raw materials, and finished goods. An 8,000-pound class forklift helps consolidate moves that would exceed lighter trucks, potentially reducing passes and improving throughput.
• Side shift for accurate placement: Side shift allows lateral adjustment of the carriage without repositioning the entire machine. Operators can nudge forks left or right to center loads on racks, align to truck decks, or thread into tight spaces, saving time and reducing the risk of product or racking contact.
• 99" (collapsed) standard mast: A collapsed height of 99" helps the forklift clear many dock doors, low mezzanines, and loading bay doors common in industrial facilities. The standard mast configuration keeps the overall profile manageable while preserving sightlines for the operator.
• 147" lift height: A 147" maximum lift height supports stacking to common heights in shipping, receiving, and floor staging areas, enabling better vertical utilization where medium-height storage is required.
• Three way hydraulics for confident control: With three hydraulic functions available, the operator can control lift, tilt, and an auxiliary function to run attachments like side shift. This enhances load stability and placement confidence, particularly when handling oversized or high-value materials.
• Tusk build quality: Tusk forklifts are designed to deliver solid, straightforward performance in demanding industrial settings. The 800PG-8 model aligns with that reputation by focusing on the fundamentals that matter to line supervisors and fleet managers: capacity, control, and dependable power.

Applications

With its propane configuration, side shift functionality, and 8000-pound capacity, the Tusk 800PG-8 fits a wide range of industrial forklift applications where uptime and precise handling are critical. Typical use cases include:

• Warehousing and distribution: Loading and unloading trailers, staging outbound shipments, replenishing floor stock, and managing cross-dock moves where quick turns and precise placement are essential.
• Manufacturing and assembly: Feeding lines with bulk materials, moving tooling or fixtures, and supporting work-in-process transfers across stations and cells.
• Building materials and supply yards: Handling lumber packs, sheet goods, masonry, or other dense loads that require 8,000-pound capacity with accurate placement.
• Metal fabrication and industrial components: Moving plate, coil, fabricated assemblies, and heavy crates while leveraging side shift to protect high-value product and infrastructure.
• Food, beverage, and consumer goods: Rapid dock work on mixed shifts with the convenience of propane refueling and the control needed for fragile or irregular packaging.
• Third-party logistics: Flexible forklift capability to support varied client SKUs and handling profiles without changing trucks between tasks.

Ownership Value

Choosing a 2006 Tusk 800PG-8 at this price point delivers compelling value for operations that need dependable lifting power with controlled operating costs. Propane-powered forklifts offer fast refueling and the ability to operate across shifts without lengthy charging downtime, which can help improve utilization. The combination of side shift, three way hydraulics, and an 8000# rating can reduce time per move and cut rework, both of which drive down cost per pallet handled. The standard mast height envelope balances clearance with useful stacking height, which helps the same truck cover dock duties, staging, and storage tasks without constant swapping. For fleet managers aiming to stretch budgets while maintaining safety and productivity, a well-specified used Industrial Forklifts unit like this Tusk 800PG-8 is a practical, ROI-focused choice.

Why This 800PG-8

Within the 8,000-pound class, not every unit combines propane power, side shift, and three way hydraulics with a mast profile that works in common dock and interior areas. This 2006 Tusk 800PG-8 hits that sweet spot. The 99" collapsed mast helps with door and mezzanine clearance, the 147" lift height meets many medium-rise stacking needs, and side shift contributes to precise, confident placement in tight aisles or on crowded docks. Add the straightforward convenience of propane refueling and the proven nature of a model built for industrial duty, and you get a forklift configured to tackle core warehouse and production jobs efficiently. If you’re consolidating fleets, filling a capacity gap, or adding a reliable dock truck, this machine’s specification set is both practical and versatile.
