Condition

This is a pre-owned Komatsu FG25ST-16 with 6,615 recorded hours that has been carefully tested and inspected by NLEQ. All major functions are checked so buyers receive an accurate representation of the machine’s performance. As with any used industrial forklift, expect normal signs of use consistent with age and hours. Buyers are welcome to request additional details, photos, and a run-test video or to arrange an independent inspection. Our goal is to provide transparent information so you can make a confident, informed decision.

Advantages and What Each Feature Means in Daily Use

• Propane power: Propane forklifts are a mainstay in warehousing and manufacturing because they deliver strong, consistent power with quick, simple refueling. For multi-shift operations, propane minimizes downtime compared to long charging cycles. It also supports indoor use where appropriate ventilation is present, making this Komatsu FG25ST-16 a versatile choice across dock, aisle, and staging areas.
• 5000 lb capacity: A 5,000 lb capacity hits the sweet spot for general material handling. It is well-suited to the most common palletized goods, raw materials, finished products, and general MRO supplies. This capacity gives operators confidence to tackle a wide variety of daily tasks without over-specifying on size or weight class.
• 42" forks: The 42-inch fork length aligns with standard pallet applications, balancing stability and maneuverability in tighter aisles. Shorter forks help reduce tail-swing and make it easier to position the truck in close quarters, on trailers, or near racking without unnecessary overhang.
• Side shift: Side shift is a must-have for efficiency. By moving the carriage laterally without repositioning the entire forklift, operators can align the forks to the load or rack quickly. This reduces cycle times, improves pick-and-place accuracy, and decreases product and rack damage—benefits that accumulate into measurable productivity gains across a shift.
• Three stage high visibility mast: The three stage mast provides the additional lift height required for higher stacking while prioritizing operator sight lines. Better forward visibility helps with safer, more confident travel and load handling. The mast design also supports precise load placement when navigating dense racking or staging areas.
• Full free lift: Full free lift allows the forks and carriage to rise before the mast extends, making it possible to lift loads in spaces with limited overhead clearance. This is particularly beneficial when loading inside trailers, containers, or beneath mezzanines and low doorways where every inch of clearance matters.
• 188" lift height: An overall lift height of 188 inches gives plenty of reach for common racking heights and high stack applications. Whether you are slotting product into upper tiers or staging tall loads, this capability expands your storage and handling options without moving to a larger class truck.

Applications and Work Environments

The Komatsu FG25ST-16 Industrial Forklift is built for productivity in demanding environments. With propane power, a 5,000 lb capacity, and precision features like side shift and full free lift, it transitions seamlessly between tasks throughout the day.

• Warehousing and distribution: Fast pallet movement, case picking support, cross-docking, and trailer loading/unloading.
• Manufacturing and assembly: Supply line replenishment, WIP transfers, and staging finished goods.
• Building materials and retail yards: Handling packaged building products, fixtures, and palletized inventory.
• Food and beverage operations: Efficient dock work and cold storage staging where appropriate.
• Third-party logistics: Multi-client SKU handling where flexibility, uptime, and precise placement are essential.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used Komatsu FG25ST-16 gives you proven performance with a strong value-to-cost ratio. Komatsu’s reputation for durability, combined with straightforward maintenance and widely available parts, helps control total cost of ownership. The propane system supports quick refueling and continuous operation, while the 5,000 lb class ensures the forklift remains useful across changing job requirements and product mixes.

• Operational efficiency: Side shift, full free lift, and a high-visibility mast reduce cycle times and improve operator confidence.
• Versatility: 188" lift height and 42" forks support both tight-aisle work and higher rack positions.
• Predictable running costs: Propane forklifts are easy to fuel, and parts availability for Komatsu models helps keep maintenance straightforward.
• Resale confidence: Well-known models from leading brands tend to retain market interest when it’s time to refresh your fleet.

Why This FG25ST-16 Stands Out

If you are evaluating Industrial Forklifts in the 5,000 lb class, this 2012 Komatsu FG25ST-16 hits the checklist that matters. Hours are well-documented at 6,615, giving you visibility into prior utilization. The feature package—propane, side shift, 42" forks, three stage high visibility mast, full free lift, and 188" lift height—aligns with what high-throughput facilities demand for daily productivity. You can standardize on common pallets, navigate low doorways or containers, and still place product high in racking. For operations looking to balance cost and capability, this unit provides the power, precision, and reach to deliver results without overspending.
