Advantages and What the Features Mean in Practice

• Propane power: Propane forklifts are a staple in indoor and mixed-use facilities because they provide strong, consistent torque with cleaner emissions than diesel, minimal odor, and fast refueling. Simply swap or refill the tank and return to work in minutes—no lengthy charging cycles as with electric. This supports multi-shift operations and maximizes uptime across warehouse and production environments.
• 8000# Capacity: An 8,000 lb rated capacity covers a broad range of pallets, raw materials, fabricated components, machinery, and building products. The capacity headroom helps reduce the need for multiple lifts or specialized equipment, improving throughput and reducing handling time on heavier loads.
• 93" (Collapsed) Triple Mast: The triple (three-stage) mast delivers high stacking and racking capability while keeping the collapsed height to just 93". That means the forklift can pass under lower doorways, mezzanines, and trailer headers and still reach a 189" lift height when extended—ideal for operations that need both clearance and reach.
• 189" Lift Height: Being able to place loads up to 189" helps improve storage density, supports higher racking, and provides flexibility to stage inventory vertically. The additional lift height can be the difference between a constrained layout and a more efficient, higher-capacity facility.
• Side Shift: Side shift lets the carriage move left or right without repositioning the truck, saving time and improving precision when aligning forks with pallets, racks, or machine beds. This reduces product damage, minimizes aisle maneuvers, and makes operators more productive in tight spaces.
• Three Way Hydraulics: Three-way hydraulics provide multiple simultaneous hydraulic functions for confident load handling and placement. Operators gain precise feathering and control for lift, tilt, and auxiliary carriage functions, supporting safer, faster, and more accurate placement at height or in confined rack positions.

Applications

The Clark C40L’s combination of Propane power, 8000# Capacity, Side Shift, and a 93" (Collapsed) Triple Mast / 189" Lift Height makes it a versatile solution for a wide range of material-handling operations. Typical use cases include:

• Warehousing and distribution: High-low staging, pallet movement, and deep lane work where the collapsed mast height and side shift reduce maneuvering time while the 189" lift height supports upper-rack placement.
• Manufacturing and fabrication: Moving raw stock, WIP, and finished goods between bays, lines, and shipping with quick refueling to keep production on schedule across shifts.
• Building supply and lumber yards: Handling dense, heavy bundles of lumber, sheet goods, and masonry products within the 8,000 lb class, with the triple mast offering height flexibility.
• Metal and machinery handling: Positioning dies, fixtures, and fabricated assemblies where precise fork alignment via side shift reduces rework and minimizes risk to high-value components.
• Loading docks and cross-dock operations: Fast turnarounds supported by propane refueling, stable low-speed control, and side shift for quick alignment when space is tight.
• Rental and fleet operations: A strong, proven Clark platform that is operator-friendly and adaptable to varied customer needs throughout industrial sites.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used Clark C40L from NLEQ provides practical value where it matters most—capability, uptime, and cost control. Propane fueling simplifies energy management while keeping power on tap for heavier loads and multi-shift environments. The 8000# Capacity reduces equipment swaps and broadens the range of jobs a single truck can cover. Side Shift improves accuracy and reduces cycle time, which can translate to measurable productivity gains across a typical shift.

The triple mast’s 93" collapsed height / 189" lift height ratio offers real estate efficiency—more racks, more vertical storage, fewer constraints from doorways and mezzanine clearances. Three Way Hydraulics support confident control at height and around tight inventory, which is essential for product protection and safety. Combined with Clark’s reputation in Industrial Forklifts for durability and operator-focused controls, the C40L presents a balanced mix of power, control, and flexibility.

Buying used at $19,875.00 further optimizes total cost of ownership. You acquire the capability you need without the steep first-year depreciation of new equipment, while NLEQ’s testing and inspection practice provides clarity so you can plan maintenance and deployment with confidence.
