Advantages

• Propane efficiency and uptime: Propane forklifts are valued for quick refueling, consistent power delivery, and suitability for well-ventilated indoor spaces. Swap cylinders in minutes and keep production moving without long charging cycles.
• Precision load placement: The included side shift allows the operator to move the carriage left or right without repositioning the entire truck. That translates to faster pallet alignment, fewer multi-point maneuvers, and reduced risk of product or racking damage.
• Triple mast versatility with low collapsed height: With an 83-inch collapsed height, this forklift fits through many standard dock doors and low-clearance openings while still offering tall stacking capability. This combination is ideal for mixed-height facilities where overhead restrictions vary.
• Tall stacking capability: A 189-inch maximum lift height supports high-bay storage and efficient vertical utilization of space. If your operation relies on racking above typical first and second beam levels, this reach helps consolidate inventory and improve pick density.
• Balanced 5000# capacity: The 5000-pound class is the industry’s most popular for a reason. It handles the majority of palletized loads in warehousing, manufacturing components, building materials, and general distribution without jumping to a heavier, less agile class of truck.
• Three-way hydraulics for smooth control: Independent hydraulic functions for lift, tilt, and side shift give operators precise, predictable command over loads. Smooth modulation helps protect product and racking, and supports safer, more efficient handling.
• Toyota reliability: Toyota industrial forklifts have a longstanding reputation for durability, parts availability, and high residual value. That reputation translates into dependable service life and an easier ownership experience.

Applications

• Warehousing and distribution: Move palletized goods efficiently, load and unload trailers at the dock, and position loads accurately into selective or drive-in racking. The side shift and tall lift height help reduce cycle times and rework.
• Manufacturing and assembly: Feed production lines, transport work-in-progress, and stage finished goods with consistent propane power. The 5000# capacity suits a broad mix of components, skids, and machinery crating.
• Building materials and retail supply: Handle lumber packs, drywall pallets, roofing, and mixed building products with confidence. The triple mast’s collapsed height supports maneuvering through indoor receiving areas with lower doorways.
• Food and beverage: Propel pallet flow in coolers, bottling, canning, and packaging lines where clean-burning propane and tight load placement contribute to speed and safety.
• Third-party logistics (3PL): If your customer mix changes frequently, a versatile 5000# propane forklift provides the agility and reach to adapt quickly without over-specializing.

Ownership Value

Owning a used Toyota 8FGU25 in this configuration is about more than just specs—it’s about day-in, day-out dependability and controllability. The propane powerplant supports high utilization with minimal downtime for refueling. The side shift and three-way hydraulics reduce operator effort and improve first-time pallet placement, so your crews spend less time inching into position and more time moving product. The triple mast’s compact collapsed height helps avoid bottlenecks when transitioning between low-clearance staging areas and taller storage zones. And with Toyota’s reputation for longevity and strong parts support, ongoing maintenance planning is more predictable.

From a cost perspective, a 5000# Industrial Forklift is often the sweet spot for total cost of ownership. It’s powerful enough to cover a wide range of daily tasks without the fuel burn, turning radius, or floor-load demands of heavier classes. Trained operators can leverage the precise hydraulics to protect goods and infrastructure, reducing avoidable damage costs. Combined with NLEQ’s inspection-first approach and fair, market-based pricing, this unit offers compelling value for companies looking to expand capacity or replace aging equipment without compromising on quality.

Why this 8FGU25

Within Toyota’s lineup, the 8FGU25 is a widely trusted workhorse. This particular unit is configured exactly the way many operations prefer: propane power for quick turnarounds, a triple mast with the clearance to navigate tighter doorways, tall lift height for high-bay work, side shift for precision, and three-way hydraulics for intuitive control. The 5000# capacity aligns with the broadest range of pallet loads, minimizing the need for multiple specialized trucks. With 3,145 hours on a 2016 machine, it has the kind of usage profile many buyers seek in a used forklift—substantial life left with the benefit of a proven track record.

If you’re evaluating alternatives, consider how often your operators need to realign pallets or nudge loads into position. Side shift can trim seconds off each placement and reduce rack contact incidents. Multiply that by daily cycles and shifts, and the productivity gain is measurable. Add in the triple mast’s ability to work in both lower and higher-clearance areas, and you get a single forklift that covers more of your day-to-day scenarios without constant compromises.
