Advantages

• Propane power for indoor/outdoor flexibility: Propane forklifts are a popular choice because they can often be used in properly ventilated indoor areas and open-air sites. Refueling is fast—swap in a fresh cylinder and get back to work—so crews avoid long charging cycles and keep productivity high.
• Low-hour 2017 model: With only 2,635 hours, this Daewoo GC40S-5 has seen measured use relative to typical duty cycles. Lower hours often translate to less wear, longer service life, and reduced near-term maintenance expense compared to higher-hour machines.
• Daewoo durability: The Daewoo brand is respected across Industrial Forklifts for rugged design and dependable components. Operators appreciate the straightforward controls, balanced handling, and service-friendly layout that keeps daily checks and routine maintenance efficient.
• Cost-effective acquisition: Priced at $19,875, this forklift provides a compelling alternative to new equipment. You gain proven performance and fast availability while conserving capital—an advantage for companies prioritizing ROI.
• Ready for material handling duty: The GC-series design is built to tackle repetitive lift-and-carry tasks with confidence, helping streamline loading docks, staging areas, and production lines.

Applications

The 2017 Daewoo GC40S-5 Industrial Forklift is well-suited for a wide range of environments where reliability and maneuverability matter. Typical applications include:

• Warehousing and distribution: Receiving, put-away, replenishment, and outbound loading where consistent lift performance and operator comfort support high-throughput operations.
• Manufacturing and assembly: Line-side material delivery, work-in-process moves, and finished goods staging where uptime and repeatable handling are critical.
• Lumber, metals, and building materials: Moving pallets, bundles, and components in yards or under roof, with propane power enabling quick refuel cycles during peak demand.
• Logistics and 3PL operations: Cross-docking and inventory turns requiring reliable equipment that can adapt to varied pallets, skids, and load types.
• Food and beverage: Palletized goods handling where clean-burning propane can be advantageous in properly ventilated indoor facilities.

Understanding key forklift features

While the provided details for this listing confirm propane fuel and do not specify additional configuration, many buyers consider the following features when comparing Industrial Forklifts. If present on a particular machine, each feature can deliver practical advantages:

• Side shift: When equipped, side shift allows the carriage to move left or right without repositioning the truck. This saves time when aligning forks to pallets, reduces aisle jockeying, and can minimize rack or load contact.
• Three-way hydraulics: Additional hydraulic functions, if installed, enable more precise control of attachments and mast movements. For operations that change attachments or require fine load positioning, extra hydraulic circuits expand versatility.
• Triple mast with low collapsed height: A triple-stage mast that collapses to a low height—such as around 89 inches—can improve access under doorways or mezzanines. The additional mast section often provides a tall maximum lift height (for example, 185 inches), supporting higher stacking while preserving clearance.
• 8,000-pound capacity class: Capacity determines the weight the forklift can safely lift at a specified load center. In many industrial settings, an 8,000-pound capacity class enables handling of heavier pallets, dies, fixtures, and raw materials, expanding the truck’s utility across departments.

If any of these features are important to your workflow, please reach out and we will confirm exactly how this 2017 Daewoo GC40S-5 is optioned.

Ownership value
