Advantages and Key Features

• Propane Power: Propane forklifts are preferred by many warehouses and manufacturing facilities because they offer quick refueling, consistent power delivery, and cleaner operation compared to many diesel alternatives. For operations with mixed indoor/outdoor needs, propane provides flexibility while helping manage emissions and ventilation requirements.
• 4,000 lb Capacity: The 4000# rating hits a versatile sweet spot for common palletized loads, building materials, components, and finished goods. It’s ideal for facilities that need to move standard pallets, machinery crates, or bundles without stepping up to a larger, less nimble chassis.
• Pneumatic Tires: Pneumatic tires offer enhanced shock absorption and traction on a variety of surfaces, including rougher yards, loading areas, or expansion joints in older floors. They help protect both the operator and the load and expand usability beyond perfectly smooth interior aisles.
• Triple Mast with 84" Collapsed Height: The low collapsed height allows the forklift to pass through standard doorways, containers, trailers, and lower-clearance storage areas. When raised, the mast provides up to 187" of lift height, supporting effective stacking and placement on higher racking.
• 187" Lift Height: With nearly 16 feet of reach, the PF40LP can place loads efficiently on upper tiers, improving vertical storage and aisle utilization. This helps increase throughput in operations where warehouse footprint is constrained.
• Side Shift: Side shift lets the operator move the carriage left and right without repositioning the entire truck. The result is faster pallet alignment, fewer multi-point maneuvers, less risk of product or rack contact, and overall improved precision—especially valuable in tight aisles and high-bay locations.
• Sit-Down Operator Compartment: A sit-down layout supports all-day comfort, better visibility, and intuitive controls. When operators are comfortable and in control, productivity rises and fatigue falls—critical in multi-shift operations.
• UniCarriers Build Quality: UniCarriers forklifts are known for robust design, dependable hydraulics, and refined operator ergonomics. That reputation translates into predictable uptime, easy operator acceptance, and broad service support.

Applications

The UniCarriers PF40LP is engineered for versatility. With its 4,000 lb capacity, propane fuel, pneumatic tires, and side shift, it adapts to many industrial and commercial environments where reliability and maneuverability are paramount.

• Warehousing and Distribution: Efficiently handle inbound pallets, slot product to upper racks with the 187" lift height, and load outbound trailers. Side shift simplifies precise placement in narrow aisles and dock conditions.
• Manufacturing: Feed lines with raw materials, reposition tooling, and move work-in-process and finished goods. Propane power ensures consistent torque for lifting and travel, even during extended shifts.
• Building Materials and Lumber Yards: Pneumatic tires help when transitioning between paved yards, loading bays, and warehouse floors, while the 4,000 lb capacity is a practical match to common bundles and pallet loads.
• Retail and Home Improvement Distribution: The compact collapsed mast height of 84" aids in moving through doorways and under low mezzanines, while lift reach supports stocking higher shelves and racks.
• Light Outdoor Use: Pneumatic tires provide added compliance across uneven surfaces commonly found in loading areas, driveways, and yards, without sacrificing indoor viability.

Ownership Value

Ownership costs on a forklift come down to uptime, fuel, maintenance, and retained value. This UniCarriers PF40LP scores well across those factors. Propane engines are known for straightforward maintenance and dependable cold starts. The 1,530 hours indicate a machine early in its lifecycle for most industrial duty cycles. The triple mast and side shift reduce handling time and rework, creating real operational savings over thousands of cycles. Pneumatic tires offer the durability and ride quality to keep operators comfortable and productive. UniCarriers’ reputation for support and parts availability further contributes to predictable maintenance planning. At a listed price of $17,850, this unit presents strong value relative to new replacement cost and provides an efficient path to upgrading capacity, adding a unit to your fleet, or standardizing on a reliable model without sacrificing essential performance features.
