Ownership Value

Owners choose the Caterpillar 2C6000 for its balance of capability, operating cost, and longevity. The propane powerplant offers rapid turnaround between cylinders, helping you keep shifts productive without the charging windows associated with other power sources. The 6,000 lb rating covers the majority of common palletized loads found in industrial and distribution environments, often allowing you to consolidate tasks and reduce the number of trucks needed. The triple mast provides the right combination of vertical reach and transport clearance, helping you utilize vertical space without limiting where the truck can operate. Four-way hydraulics add flexibility for a range of attachments and fine movements, which can reduce handling time and product damage. When combined with Caterpillar’s reputation for durable components and strong residual value, you get a machine that supports lower total cost of ownership and easier resale when it’s time to refresh your fleet.

Why This 2C6000

This specific unit checks the boxes serious buyers look for: model-year relevance, practical specs, and sensible hours. The 2016 build year keeps you in a modern design era, while 4,935 hours is well-aligned with a forklift expected to deliver many more productive shifts under proper care. The propane configuration supports quick refueling and consistent output, ideal for multi-shift operations. The capacity, mast package, and four-way hydraulics form a highly usable combination—tight enough for busy aisles and dock approaches yet capable enough for higher lift positions and heavier loads. And at $14,975, it’s priced to support fast payback, making it a smart addition whether you’re expanding capacity, replacing an aging truck, or adding redundancy to reduce bottlenecks.
