Overview

The Crown C5 1050-60 is engineered to move more pallets per shift with less operator fatigue and more precise load handling. In this configuration, you get a balanced blend of lifting power, visibility, and maneuverability. The propane powertrain supports consistent, readily available energy with quick refueling, making it ideal for multi-shift operations. The triple mast keeps collapsed height to 86" for better door and rack clearance while still reaching up to 188" when you need it. The 6000# capacity gives you the confidence to tackle demanding loads—within the forklift’s rated limits and proper load center—across a wide variety of materials.

Key productivity attachments further set this unit apart. The fork positioner allows the operator to adjust fork spacing from the seat, speeding up handling of varied pallet widths and reducing strain from manual repositioning. Side shift gives the operator fine lateral control over the carriage to nudge loads precisely into place, helping reduce product damage and save time during tight stacking, picking, and staging tasks. Combined, these features deliver real-world throughput gains and measurable improvements in handling accuracy.

Condition

NLEQ carefully tests and inspects each forklift before listing it for sale to ensure the specifications are accurate and that the unit is work-ready. Buyers can expect an honest, fact-based representation of the forklift’s condition and capabilities. If you value transparency and reliability, this Crown unit delivers—backed by NLEQ’s reputation for offering used equipment that’s been vetted for performance, safety, and operational readiness at the time of evaluation.

Advantages and What They Mean on Your Floor

• Propane Power: Propane forklifts are prized for consistent power delivery, quick refueling, and the ability to run extended shifts with minimal downtime. For operations that can’t afford to wait on battery charges, propane is a straightforward way to keep product moving. It’s suitable for well-ventilated indoor areas and dock operations, and it transitions well between indoor staging and outdoor paved loading zones.
• 6000# Capacity: A 6000-pound rated capacity provides the headroom needed for heavier pallets, bulk materials, building products, and dense goods. The extra capacity compared to smaller classes can reduce load splitting, decrease trips, and boost productivity—provided loads are handled within rated capacity and proper load center practices.
• Triple Mast with 86" Collapsed Height: The triple-stage mast offers a compact 86" collapsed height for improved clearance through dock doors and lower racking while still delivering 188" of lift to service higher bays. This balance between compactness and reach is ideal for mixed-height storage environments and facilities with tighter overhead constraints.
• 188" Maximum Lift Height: Reaching up to 188" allows operators to access higher pallet positions confidently. Whether you’re slotting SKUs on upper levels or loading taller stacks, the added reach decreases the need for alternative equipment and streamlines vertical storage utilization.
• Fork Positioner: Adjust fork spacing from the cab to match pallet sizes quickly, reducing the time spent dismounting to reposition forks. This capability increases throughput, especially in facilities that handle a variety of pallet widths, crates, or odd-sized loads. It also supports better load alignment to reduce damage and improve safety.
• Side Shift: Fine left-right carriage movement helps operators align loads precisely without re-approaching the stack. That translates to faster placements, fewer damaged pallets or racks, and smoother staging on trailers or in tight aisles.
• Crown Build Quality: Crown is known for industrial-grade engineering across its forklift lineup. In the C5 series, that reputation translates into robust chassis construction and long-term component durability that keep owning costs under control.

Applications and Industry Fit

This Crown C5 1050-60 Industrial Forklift is versatile enough for a wide range of material handling environments. Its capacity, attachments, and mast configuration support productivity in:

• Warehousing and Distribution: Fast order staging, inbound/outbound dock work, and high-bay storage benefit from the 188" lift height and side shift precision.
• Manufacturing: Move raw materials, work-in-process, and finished goods efficiently between production cells and shipping lanes. The fork positioner helps adapt quickly to varied pallet sizes common in mixed operations.
• Retail and E-commerce Fulfillment: Handle diverse SKU pallets and frequent turnarounds with speed. Short collapsed height aids clearance under mezzanines and door frames.
• Building Materials and Industrial Supply: The 6000# capacity supports heavier stock like bagged goods, metal components, fasteners in bulk crates, and other dense materials.
• Food and Beverage Distribution: Keep cases and pallets moving across chill docks and staging areas, where quick refueling and consistent power are essential for shift continuity.
• Third-Party Logistics (3PL): Increase utilization across varied customer profiles, leveraging the fork positioner and side shift to handle different pallet types without constant manual adjustments.

Total Ownership Value

When you evaluate total cost of ownership, this Crown C5 1050-60 stands out for several reasons. The 2020 build year delivers a contemporary platform engineered for high uptime. With only 675 hours, there’s ample service life ahead relative to many forklifts of similar age on the used market. Propane power supports quick turnarounds between shifts and avoids the capital outlay of extra batteries or fast chargers. The included fork positioner and side shift reduce product damage, streamline handling, and can materially lift throughput—benefits that often justify the feature set on ROI alone in busy operations.

Backed by NLEQ’s inspection process, buyers gain the confidence that the forklift’s stated capacity, mast configuration, and attachments match what’s delivered. Parts support and service for Crown are widely available in most markets, which helps control downtime and makes future maintenance planning more predictable. All of this comes together in a package priced at $24,975—an attractive point for a low-hour, attachment-equipped, 6000#-class propane unit.
