Overview

In the 5,000-lb class, the Yale GLP050MX is a standout for balanced performance and operator confidence. The propane engine provides consistent power with quick refueling, making it ideal for multi-shift indoor and outdoor use. The triple mast’s compact collapsed height is helpful for doorway clearance and low mezzanines, while the tall working lift gives the reach you need for higher racking. Side shift lets operators nudge loads left or right without repositioning the truck, which speeds up placement and reduces pallet and rack damage. Three-way hydraulics support smooth, precise mast and carriage control, enabling efficient stacking, staging, and loading.

Built with the robust frame and straightforward service access Yale is known for, the GLP050MX delivers uptime and predictable ownership costs. The truck’s ergonomics—clear sightlines through the mast, responsive controls, and stable handling—translate to fewer operator errors and a safer, more productive shift.

Advantages and What They Mean in Practice

• Propane Power: Propane forklifts deliver strong torque for loading trucks, climbing ramps, and handling varied loads, while keeping indoor emissions manageable with proper ventilation. Refueling is fast—swap cylinders and you’re back to work—minimizing downtime compared with battery charging cycles.
• 5000# Capacity: The 5,000-lb rating is the most versatile class for warehouses and general industry. It covers standard pallets of building materials, manufacturing components, finished goods, and most dock work without jumping into heavier, less nimble trucks.
• 90" Collapsed Triple Mast: A low collapsed height helps the forklift clear door headers, trailers, and low ceilings. Operators can access more parts of a facility without switching equipment, reducing bottlenecks and increasing overall throughput.
• 201" Lift Height: Extra stacking height expands storage density and lets you utilize higher racking. For operations looking to increase capacity within the same footprint, the added reach can be a meaningful productivity and space saver.
• Side Shift: Precision placement means fewer second attempts and less time realigning the truck. It also reduces rack and product damage when placing loads in tight tolerances.
• Three Way Hydraulics: Smooth, intuitive hydraulic control improves operator confidence and accuracy. This supports faster cycles on repetitive tasks like loading/unloading trailers, staging pallets, and replenishing pick locations.
• Yale Build Quality: Yale’s reputation for rugged construction, stability, and parts availability supports long service life and predictable maintenance planning—important for owners who prioritize uptime and total cost of ownership.

Applications

• Warehousing and Distribution: Fast truck loading, putaway, and replenishment with the maneuverability needed for narrow aisles and the lift height to reach upper bays.
• Manufacturing: Move raw materials to the line, stage work-in-process, and handle finished goods with a forklift sized for most common loads.
• Building Supply and Lumber Yards: Handle palletized materials, boards, and bundled products with reliable power for outdoor yards and indoor storage.
• Food and Beverage: Propane forklifts are a proven choice where quick refueling and consistent power are critical for cold storage docks and busy shifts.
• Third-Party Logistics (3PL): High-utilization environments benefit from the GLP050MX’s balance of capacity, height, and precision control for high-throughput operations.
• Rental Fleets and Contractors: A solid all-around 5,000-lb unit that’s easy to deploy to diverse jobsites and customer applications.

Yale’s parts support and broad service know-how help keep maintenance straightforward, and the simplicity of propane helps control fueling logistics and costs. For operations scaling up or replacing aging equipment, this model strikes a strong balance between acquisition cost, performance, and long-term serviceability.

• Predictable Maintenance: Widely available parts and experienced service networks make planning and repairs more efficient.
