Advantages

• Toyota reliability and support: Toyota forklifts have a reputation for robust frames, dependable engines, and operator-friendly controls. The 8FGU45 platform, in particular, is well-regarded across tough industrial settings, which supports parts availability, technician familiarity, and long-term serviceability.
• Low, work-ready hours: With only 2,030 hours, this forklift has already proven its capabilities yet remains positioned for years of productive use. Lower hours typically correlate with less overall wear, offering a favorable balance between price and remaining life.
• Propane efficiency: Propane fueling is ideal for mixed indoor/outdoor use, with quick tank swaps and consistent power delivery. Many facilities prefer propane because it avoids charging downtime, supports multi-shift operations, and keeps emissions suitable for properly ventilated indoor environments.
• Industrial Forklifts class versatility: As an Industrial Forklift, the 8FGU45 aligns well with dock work, pallet handling, racking, staging, and yard operations. It’s built for durability and stability in demanding daily cycles.
• Popular 8FGU45 features explained for buyer context: While the confirmed spec for this unit includes Propane, buyers often ask about the following common 8FGU45 features. If important to your operation, please contact NLEQ to confirm whether NLEQ# 148235 includes them: Side Shift: Side shift allows the carriage to move left or right without repositioning the entire truck. In practice, this saves time when lining up pallet entry, reduces rack or product contact, and improves precision in tight aisles or on uneven surfaces. 9921 lb (4500 kg) Capacity: The 8FGU45 is commonly associated with heavy-duty capacities suitable for dense loads, long forks, and demanding warehouse or yard tasks. Capacity verification is essential for safety; always confirm the rated load versus your heaviest pallets, load centers, and attachments. Triple Mast / 187-inch Lift Height: A triple-stage mast is designed to deliver higher lift within a compact collapsed height, improving rack reach and trailer work while maintaining clearance in doorways and low structures. A 187-inch range, where applicable, helps service higher racking and mezzanine levels. Three Way Hydraulics: Sometimes called a third-function hydraulic circuit, three-way hydraulics enable attachments or functions such as side shift or fork positioners. This flexibility can increase throughput by allowing faster load alignment and fewer truck movements.

These features can make a meaningful difference in daily productivity, load control, and operator satisfaction. Even if not present on this specific Toyota 8FGU45, they’re worth understanding as you compare forklifts. NLEQ can help you confirm the exact configuration and, if needed, source an alternative unit aligned with your specifications.

Applications

The 2017 Toyota 8FGU45 Industrial Forklift suits a wide range of material handling tasks where consistent power and durability are vital. Common applications include pallet handling in distribution and logistics, staging and line-side supply in manufacturing, loading and unloading in shipping and receiving, and general yard work for building materials and fabrication shops. Propane fueling is particularly valued in cross-over environments that move between dock doors and outside yards, offering rapid refueling to keep freight moving across shifts. In retail warehouse clubs, food and beverage distribution, paper and packaging, appliance and furniture handling, metal fabrication, and general industrial supply chains, a Toyota 8FGU45 can be the dependable backbone of daily throughput. Operators often appreciate the predictable power of propane and the familiar Toyota control layout, which can help reduce training time and speed up adoption.

Ownership Value

Purchasing a used Toyota 8FGU45 from 2017 with only 2,030 hours delivers a smart balance of capital cost and lifecycle potential. You benefit from the proven design of Toyota’s industrial forklift platform, straightforward maintenance, and strong parts support without the premium of new equipment. Propane fueling can reduce operational bottlenecks tied to charging or battery change-outs, making it attractive for facilities with peak periods or multiple shifts. Residual value is also a key consideration; established brands like Toyota often hold value well when maintained, which supports overall total cost of ownership. From a safety and compliance perspective, working with a forklift that has a well-documented pedigree and known serviceability can aid your maintenance planning, operator training, and inspection routines. NLEQ’s inspection-driven sales approach further supports value by helping you understand the machine you’re buying, free from guesswork.
