Advantages

• Propane power that supports steady performance and rapid refueling: Propane forklifts are valued for their consistent torque delivery and the convenience of swapping or refilling cylinders quickly, minimizing downtime across shifts. They are commonly used in ventilated indoor spaces and transition well to outdoor staging areas, making them highly versatile for mixed environments.
• Heavy-duty capacity at the industry-standard load center: The rated 8,000-pound class at a 24-inch load center gives this GP40N the muscle to move dense pallets, bundled building materials, and heavier production components with confidence when properly configured and operated within guidelines.
• Compact collapsed height with a triple-stage mast: An 88-inch collapsed triple mast helps the machine navigate under doorways and low overheads while still providing ample elevation range for typical warehouse rack heights and truck loading. That means fewer clearance compromises without giving up vertical reach.
• Confident reaching to elevated storage and staging: With the listed lift height, this configuration is built to service multi-level racking, mezzanine staging, and high truck decks. It’s an efficient way to expand vertical storage and keep aisles clear.
• Precision control with lateral fork movement: Side-to-side carriage adjustment lets operators nudge loads into exact position without multiple back-and-forth maneuvers. That saves time, reduces tire scrub, and helps protect racking, product, and pallets.
• Three-function hydraulics for smooth handling: With separate hydraulic functions available, operators can raise/lower, tilt, and actuate the lateral carriage function independently for more precise load handling and placement. Smooth controls matter when handling heavier, taller, or more delicate freight.
• Caterpillar build quality: Caterpillar industrial forklifts are known for durable components and dependable operation in tough duty cycles. That reliability supports consistent productivity and helps control downtime.

Applications

This Caterpillar GP40N Industrial Forklift is well-suited to a wide mix of operations that need higher-capacity lifting with strong maneuverability and precise placement:

• Manufacturing: Move tooling, dies, production components, and finished goods efficiently between cells, staging, and outbound areas.
• Building materials and lumber: Handle dense bundles, long stock, and board packs in yards and warehouses where frequent loading and unloading is routine.
• Metal fabrication and distribution: Support heavier pallets of plate, bar, or fabricated assemblies and position them accurately for processing or shipment.
• Warehouse and distribution: Service higher racking while retaining a reasonable collapsed mast height to clear doorways, tunnels, and mezzanines in busy facilities.
• Rental fleet and contractor yards: A versatile, proven configuration suitable for mixed loads and changing daily demands.
• Freight and logistics: Position pallets on elevated decks, cross-dock quickly, and keep freight flowing on tight schedules.

Because this unit runs on propane, it adapts well to ventilated indoor operations and easily transitions outdoors for staging, truck loading, or yard moves, allowing teams to streamline material flow across multiple zones.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used Caterpillar GP40N can make strong financial sense for businesses seeking capability without the new-equipment premium. The combination of a respected brand, a practical feature set, and NLEQ’s inspection process provides a clear path to productive service life. Propane power offers predictable operating costs and the convenience of widely available fuel. The heavy-duty capacity paired with a compact collapsed mast supports broad task coverage in a single truck, which helps reduce fleet complexity. Over time, a well-maintained forklift in this class typically holds stable utility value by remaining useful across departments—receiving, production, and shipping—and by integrating easily into common warehouse layouts and racking heights.

Parts support and service know-how for Caterpillar forklifts are widely available, aiding routine maintenance and helping keep downtime in check. For buyers scaling operations or tightening budgets, a pre-owned industrial forklift like this can return productivity quickly, particularly when it’s equipped with the right hydraulic and mast configuration from the start.

Why This GP40N

What sets this unit apart is its blend of capacity, reach, and control in a single, ready-to-work package. The triple mast collapses compactly to help navigate lower clearances while still reaching typical elevated storage. The hydraulic setup supports smooth, predictable handling and precise placement, which is especially important with heavier or higher-stacked loads. With 7025 hours and a 2015 build, the machine reflects a modern design era that many operators know and prefer, and the propane fuel system helps keep workflows moving with quick refueling during multi-shift operations. Altogether, it is a practical, operator-friendly configuration that aligns with the demands of busy manufacturing floors, distribution centers, and material yards.
