Overview

The Taylor THC300S is engineered for serious material handling—moving large, dense, and awkward loads efficiently and safely.

Advantages: What These Features Mean for Your Operation

• High-capacity handling power: With a 30,000 lb rating, this machine is built for oversized, dense, and bundled loads that would overwhelm standard lift trucks. That translates to fewer trips, safer lifts, and the ability to consolidate material handling around a single, capable unit. If you move steel shapes, large timbers, heavy dies, bulky machinery, precast components, or oversized pallets, the performance envelope here is designed to fit.
• 120" mast with 123" lift height: This package provides practical vertical capability for loading, staging, and stacking while maintaining a low enough profile to navigate many industrial facilities. It’s a smart combination when you need to clear door openings, work under mezzanines, or operate around overhead constraints, yet still need to place loads on trucks, racks, or staging areas just over the 10-foot level.
• Four Way Hydraulics: Additional hydraulic functions expand what you can do from the seat. This capability supports more advanced attachment needs and allows the operator to make refined adjustments quickly. In practice, that improves cycle times and load accuracy, especially when working with varying load sizes, specialized forks, or other hydraulic attachments that benefit from multiple controlled functions.
• Fork positioner: Adjustable fork spacing from the operator’s seat allows rapid adaptation to different pallet sizes, crates, and irregular loads without manual intervention. That reduces labor and downtime between picks, improves ergonomics, and helps operators position loads precisely—key for both safety and productivity when the stakes are high and the loads are heavy.
• Heated cab: Cold weather doesn’t have to slow the pace. A heated cab helps maintain operator comfort and alertness when temperatures drop. For operations in winter climates, on early shifts, or in open-bay buildings, this directly supports consistent uptime, fewer breaks, and better overall performance across long shifts.
• 2018 model with modest hours: A relatively late model year paired with 3,390 hours strikes a favorable balance between modern design and value pricing. You get the benefits of more recent engineering and component improvements while avoiding the steep initial depreciation of a brand-new machine.
• Taylor durability: Taylor Industrial Forklifts are known for robust frames and heavy-duty componentry designed to stand up to tough duty cycles. That reputation matters for resale value and long-term confidence—especially when you need a machine that simply does its job day after day.

Applications

Few categories of equipment are as mission-critical as high-capacity Industrial Forklifts, and this Taylor THC300S is configured to excel where the loads are big and the schedules are tight. Typical applications include steel mills and service centers handling billets, plate, coil on pallets, and fabricated assemblies; precast and concrete producers moving forms and finished pieces; lumber yards and engineered wood facilities staging bundles; heavy manufacturing environments where dies, molds, and large subassemblies must be positioned precisely; ports, intermodal sites, and breakbulk terminals transferring bulky cargo; and machinery movers, riggers, and contractors who need reliable lifting power for irregular, heavy loads. The combination of a high-capacity rating, adjustable forks, multiple hydraulic functions, and a practical mast/lift height pairing makes this unit a strong fit across multi-shift industrial operations and project-driven work alike.

Ownership Value

At $79,850, this used 2018 Taylor THC300S offers a compelling value proposition compared to buying new, particularly when you consider the scale of work it can perform. The early-life depreciation curve is already absorbed, yet the machine remains modern enough to integrate smoothly into today’s fleets. The feature set helps protect ROI in day-to-day usage: a fork positioner reduces handling time and operator effort; additional hydraulic functionality supports a broader range of tasks; and a heated cab improves productivity through seasonal changes. The practical lift height and mast package further align with real-world indoor/outdoor constraints. For fleet managers, the ability to deploy a single heavy-capacity forklift across multiple departments or facilities reduces equipment redundancy and can lower overall ownership costs, especially when paired with a preventive maintenance plan tailored to your duty cycle. Resale considerations also favor well-known brands in the Industrial Forklifts segment—Taylor’s reputation supports long-term asset value.

Why This THC300S

When you look at heavy-duty forklift options, the winning formula is simple: the right capacity, a practical mast and lift combination, precise hydraulic control, and operator-friendly features that keep the machine moving regardless of the weather. This specific configuration checks all of those boxes. It delivers the muscle required for serious loads, gives the operator the ability to adapt quickly to different material sizes via the fork positioner, and provides the hydraulic functionality to support more complex handling needs. The mast and lift specs are well-matched for industrial facilities where clearance matters, and the heated cab is a smart inclusion for year-round productivity. Add a recent model year and relatively low hours, and the result is a balanced package tailored to real industrial demands.
