Condition

This Yale GLC050VX presents with 4,085 operating hours, reflecting moderate use consistent with a 2017 Industrial Forklift. As with every machine NLEQ offers, it has been carefully tested and inspected before being listed for sale, and the results are represented accurately to help you make a clear, informed decision.

NLEQ’s process prioritizes honest, reliable information so you understand what you are buying. We encourage serious buyers to contact our team for current status and any clarifying details you may need as part of your due diligence. This helps match the forklift’s configuration and performance to your site constraints, racking heights, and load profiles so you can deploy the unit efficiently upon arrival.

Advantages

Propane power delivers consistent engine performance and quick turnaround at the fuel station—swap or refill cylinders and return to work with minimal downtime. For operations that rely on steady shifts and predictable power, propane helps maintain pace versus battery charging cycles. It is also well-suited to mixed indoor/outdoor environments where reliable cold-start performance and steady torque are important to keep docks, staging areas, and yard paths productive.

The Side Shift function is a productivity multiplier. Rather than repositioning the entire forklift to fine-tune pallet placement, the carriage can shift the load laterally. That saves seconds on every pick, set, or stack—especially valuable when working tight aisles, crowded docks, or closely spaced racking. Over the course of a shift, those seconds add up to more pallets handled with fewer corrections, less tire scrub, and smoother operator workflows.

The 83" (collapsed) Triple Mast gives you low-overhead clearance to pass through standard doors, trailers, and mezzanine access points while preserving the vertical reach you need. At full extension, the 189" lift height supports effective use of multi-level racking and staging. This combination—compact when lowered, capable when raised—helps avoid the all-too-common tradeoff between overhead clearance and working height. In practical terms, it also improves utilization across varied areas of your facility without switching equipment.

Three Way Hydraulics provide the control channels to operate lift, tilt, and an auxiliary function, enabling the Side Shift attachment to work seamlessly alongside core mast movements. Operators can make fine-tune adjustments to fork position and load angle quickly, which translates into more precise load handling, better pallet alignment, and fewer touchups. With a 5,000# capacity, the GLC050VX capably handles the common palletized loads found in manufacturing, distribution, building materials, and general industrial supply chains, while keeping a comfortable margin for stability and control when operating within rated limits.

Applications

The Yale GLC050VX aligns well to a wide range of industrial and commercial workflows where reliability and maneuverability are essential. Typical use cases include:

• Warehousing and distribution: pallet movement, putaway, case picking support, and dock-to-rack transfers.
• Manufacturing: line-side delivery, WIP movement, finished goods staging, and component replenishment.
• Building materials and lumber: palletized product handling, cut stock staging, and order fulfillment.
• Food and beverage: dry goods distribution, cooler and dock operations where low collapsed mast height is beneficial.
• Third-party logistics (3PL) and cross-dock: rapid turn, mixed SKU environments that benefit from Side Shift precision.
• General industrial supply: receiving, inventory organization, and outbound loading where dependable 5,000# capacity is a daily requirement.

Because of its propane power, compact collapsed mast height, and strong lift reach, this unit transitions smoothly between trailer loading, staging areas, and racking aisles. The Side Shift further supports operators working in tighter spaces or aiming for faster cycle times without compromising placement accuracy.

Ownership Value

Yale forklifts are widely recognized for industrial durability and ergonomic, operator-friendly controls. For owners, that translates into consistent performance, a stable operator learning curve, and straightforward upkeep. The GLC050VX configuration here—propane power, 5,000# capacity, Triple Mast reach, and Three Way Hydraulics—Covers the core requirements for many facilities without forcing you into overspec’d equipment. Right-sizing your forklift to your load profile reduces operating cost, helps manage fuel spend, and supports better ROI over the life of the asset.

Choosing a used forklift at this price point allows you to capture the majority of the machine’s utility at a fraction of the cost of new, while leveraging the Yale brand’s established service network and parts availability. For fleet managers, this helps standardize on a dependable platform and simplifies cross-training across similar units.

Why this GLC050VX

This 2017 Yale GLC050VX strikes a compelling balance: a manageable footprint with 83" collapsed height for easy access, robust 189" lift to service multi-level storage, a 5,000# rating for common palletized loads, and Side Shift to speed alignment and placement. Propane power keeps the forklift in the work zone with rapid refueling, and Three Way Hydraulics give operators the control channels needed for precise handling. With 4,085 hours and the assurance that NLEQ has tested and inspected the machine prior to listing, this is a smart, work-ready choice for facilities seeking a reliable Industrial Forklift that supports throughput without unnecessary complexity.
