Advantages and What These Features Mean on the Job

Propane Power: Propane forklifts are valued for consistent power delivery, quick refueling, and the ability to transition between indoor and outdoor work where ventilation permits. For facilities that need steady uptime, swapping an LP tank keeps this Yale forklift productive without long charging cycles. Propane also provides reliable cold-weather starts and steady performance under variable loads.

Side Shift: Side shift is a must-have for precise load placement. Instead of repositioning the entire forklift, the carriage can shift laterally to fine-tune fork alignment. The result is faster pallet entry, smoother stacking, less rack and product damage, and reduced operator fatigue. In narrow aisles or tight staging areas, side shift can make the difference between one pass and three.

5000# Capacity: A 5,000 lb capacity hits the sweet spot for general material handling. It comfortably covers standard palletized goods, raw materials, finished product, and many light-to-medium industrial components. For many facilities, a 5,000 lb industrial forklift becomes the daily driver—capable, nimble, and robust enough for the most common lifts without being oversized for indoor aisles.

83" (Collapsed) Triple Mast: The triple mast design keeps the collapsed height compact while still delivering tall stacking ability. The low stowed height improves clearance under doors, mezzanines, and low bays, helping you move more places without mast interference. It’s a practical solution for mixed environments where vertical constraints exist but high stacking is still required.

189" Lift Height: High-bay storage is where this forklift shines. With ample lift height, you can service upper rack levels and maximize vertical cube in your warehouse. Being able to reach higher positions safely and confidently allows you to compress your footprint and increase storage density—often a faster ROI than adding square footage.

Three Way Hydraulics: With three hydraulic functions available, operators have independent control of lift, tilt, and an auxiliary function. That means you can use the side shift as intended and retain flexibility for compatible attachments that match your workflow. Three-way hydraulics enhance versatility and allow your forklift to scale as your material handling needs evolve.

Applications

This used Yale GLC050VX propane forklift is a strong fit for a wide range of industries and tasks, including:

• Warehousing and Distribution: Fast loading and unloading, efficient staging, and high-bay order fulfillment made easier with side shift and tall lift capability.
• Manufacturing: Reliable line-side delivery of raw materials and WIP, plus convenient kitting, staging, and finished goods handling across shifts.
• Building Materials and Home Centers: Move lumber, sheet goods, doors, and hardware pallets with confidence while working both indoors and in covered outdoor areas.
• Food and Beverage: Propane power supports peak-hour throughput and continuous operation; side shift helps minimize product damage in tight aisles.
• Fabrication and Metalworking: Manage palletized components, tooling, and subassemblies while benefiting from the precise carriage control of side shift.
• Third-Party Logistics (3PL): Turn trucks faster, consolidate picks, and optimize rack access with high lift height and a compact collapsed mast.
• Rental Fleets: The 5,000 lb class is the most requested capacity in many markets, making this a flexible addition with broad customer appeal.

Ownership Value

Buying a used industrial forklift is about balancing cost, capability, and reliability. This Yale GLC050VX offers compelling value with modern features, low hours for its model year, and the versatile configuration that most operations prefer. Propane fueling reduces downtime between shifts, while a triple mast and side shift increase each operator’s productivity per hour. The three-way hydraulic setup adds long-term flexibility as your material handling needs change. Add in Yale’s reputation for durability and straightforward serviceability, and you have a machine that supports lower total cost of ownership over years of daily use.

From a budgeting standpoint, the 5,000 lb class is often the most cost-effective capacity to own. Parts, tires, and routine service items are widely available, and most operators are already familiar with this class of equipment—limiting training time and increasing safety and efficiency from day one.

Why This Yale GLC050VX

Among used Industrial Forklifts, this configuration hits the operational “sweet spot.” You get the indoor/outdoor flexibility of propane, the precision of side shift, high stacking capability with a compact triple mast, and a hydraulic package that supports common attachments and refined control. The hours reflect light usage relative to its model year, giving buyers confidence in the remaining service life. For facilities looking to replace an aging unit, add capacity, or standardize on reliable 5,000 lb forklifts, this GLC050VX is a strong candidate that aligns with real-world demands.
