Advantages

• Proven Yale reliability: The GLP050MX series is known for robust construction and consistent performance, giving operators the confidence to move palletized loads, raw materials, and finished goods with ease.
• Propane power for flexibility: Propane (LPG) forklifts are popular because they refuel quickly, operate both indoors and outdoors when properly ventilated, and maintain strong power under load. This helps minimize downtime and keeps throughput high.
• 5,000 lb capacity sweet spot: A 5,000 lb rating covers the broadest range of everyday warehouse and manufacturing tasks—from standard pallets to heavier components—without oversizing the machine for tight aisles.
• Triple-stage mast versatility: The three-stage design supports higher stacking and racking while keeping the collapsed height manageable. It’s a smart balance for facilities that need reach without sacrificing doorway clearance.
• Low collapsed height, high reach: An 86-inch collapsed height helps the truck navigate under lower doors and mezzanines, while the 194-inch maximum lift capability serves a wide range of racking heights and dock work.
• Side shift precision: Side shift allows the operator to move the carriage left or right without repositioning the truck, speeding up load alignment, reducing handling time, and decreasing product and rack contact.
• Operator productivity: The GLP050MX layout is designed for comfortable, predictable operation so drivers can work efficiently through long shifts.
• Low operating hours: With 2,960 hours, this forklift has seen moderate use relative to typical duty cycles, offering a desirable balance of value and remaining service life.

Applications

• Warehousing and distribution: Pallet handling, dock loading and unloading, staging, and replenishment are where this GLP050MX shines, especially with side shift assisting in tight trailer and rack work.
• Manufacturing and assembly: Move parts, WIP, and finished goods across cells and lines; the 5,000 lb rating fits many common material profiles and containers.
• Building materials and retail supply: Handle bundles, boxed inventory, and incoming shipments with steady control and confident lift height.
• Food and beverage operations: Propane power suits fast-paced dock operations where rapid refueling and consistent performance are essential.
• Fabrication and machine shops: Position skids, tooling, and components accurately with side shift to minimize repositioning.
• Cross-dock and 3PL: When turnaround speed matters, the combination of capacity, maneuverability, and quick LPG refueling helps keep freight moving.
• Light outdoor use: Propane forklifts are often used both inside and outside as conditions allow, supporting yard moves and curbside staging.

Ownership Value

Choosing a Yale GLP050MX at this specification and hour range is a practical decision for operators who demand reliable performance without overspending on new equipment. The 5,000 lb capacity is the most utilized forklift class in North American warehouses, which means this truck is sized to meet daily needs, optimize aisle throughput, and adapt to variable load profiles. Propane fueling reduces downtime compared to charging cycles, simplifying shift transitions and maintaining consistent output. Side shift enables faster, more accurate placement, which can lower product damage costs and improve picking and putaway efficiencies over time. The triple-stage mast’s balance of collapsed height and top lift gives facilities the reach they need for common racking while still clearing doorways and overhead constraints. Parts availability and service familiarity for Yale equipment further support manageable total cost of ownership, helping you keep the truck on the floor and productive. With only 2,960 hours and a 2018 build, this unit offers a compelling mix of modern design and proven dependability at a fair market price point.
