Condition

Every equipment listing at NLEQ is carefully tested and inspected before it is offered for sale. That means the details you see here reflect the machine as it stands—accurate, honest, and reliable—so you can plan your purchase with clarity. Hours are recorded at 1,465, and key functions associated with this configuration, including the triple mast, fork positioner, and side shift, have been evaluated as part of NLEQ’s inspection process. Buyers seeking a work-ready propane industrial forklift will appreciate the straightforward presentation and verified information that supports informed decision-making.

Advantages of This Configuration

• Propane power for flexible deployment: Propane forklifts remain a top choice for mixed indoor and outdoor use. Refueling takes minutes, which helps keep uptime high compared to the longer recharge cycles associated with electric units. In facilities that need to move from warehouse floor to loading dock and out to yard areas, propane offers the adaptability and consistent performance to keep workloads on schedule.
• Fork positioner for faster, safer adjustments: A fork positioner lets the operator hydraulically adjust fork spacing from the seat. That reduces manual handling and speeds up transitions between different pallet sizes or load widths. The result is more consistent handling, less downtime reconfiguring forks, and improved ergonomics—especially valuable in high-throughput environments where accuracy and pace are both critical.
• Side shift for pinpoint load placement: Side shift adds lateral movement at the carriage, enabling quick, fine corrections without having to reposition the entire forklift. This can significantly reduce approach attempts, cut cycle times, and minimize impacts or rack contact. When loads must be placed precisely—on crowded racks, inside trailers, or around tight obstructions—side shift is a practical, high-value feature.
• 6,000 lb capacity for versatile handling: A 6,000‑pound class forklift is a sweet spot for many industrial and commercial operations. It comfortably covers a broad range of loads—palletized goods, building materials, fabricated components, and packaged products—while remaining nimble enough for everyday warehouse duty. That balance of strength and agility makes this Crown C5 a capable daily driver across shifts and seasons.
• Triple mast with low collapsed height and ample reach: The triple mast helps maintain a compact collapsed profile while delivering the lift height needed for higher storage positions. The 86" collapsed height supports clearance in many low-overhead areas, and the 188" maximum lift height provides the vertical reach for productive stacking and racking. This combination enhances facility versatility without sacrificing access or storage potential.

Applications

This Crown C5 1050-60 propane forklift is well-suited to a wide spectrum of material handling roles. In warehousing and distribution, it shines at dock work, trailer loading, and putaway. Manufacturing operations can use it for staging raw materials, moving work-in-process, and transferring finished goods to shipping. Building materials yards benefit from the 6,000 lb capacity for lumber, masonry, and packaged products. In metal fabrication and industrial supply, the ability to fine-tune placement with side shift and adjust forks from the seat makes handling irregular or mixed-dimension loads more efficient. Rental fleets and third-party logistics providers will value the universally useful specification set, which fits diverse customer needs without over-complication. Wherever productivity, repeatability, and reliable lift performance are essential, this industrial forklift offers the right mix of features to keep product flowing.

Ownership Value

Opting for a used industrial forklift from a respected brand is a practical way to control capital costs while maintaining performance standards. Crown’s reputation for durable construction and operator-focused ergonomics adds confidence for long-term use. Propane fueling reduces downtime between shifts and simplifies energy management—no batteries to swap or charge schedules to manage—making it a strong option for multi-shift operations. The 6,000 lb capacity broadens the range of daily tasks a single truck can handle, helping consolidate fleets and lower total cost of ownership. With the triple mast, fork positioner, and side shift, you also reduce the time and effort tied to pallet changes and alignment corrections, which can translate into measurable gains in throughput over months and years of service. At $22,975, this used Crown C5 1050-60 delivers compelling value compared to the cost of a new forklift with a similar specification profile, letting you allocate budget where it matters most—inventory, staffing, and growth.
