Advantages and What Each Feature Means in Practice

• Propane power: Propane is a proven, clean-burning fuel for Industrial Forklifts, ideal for facilities that need consistent power output and rapid refueling. With propane, you avoid lengthy battery charge cycles and can keep the Caterpillar GP50N1 in continuous rotation by simply swapping or refilling the cylinder. It’s a strong choice for indoor operations that require low emissions as well as for outdoor yards where uptime matters. Predictable torque and throttle response also help operators handle heavier loads smoothly and precisely.
• Solid pneumatic tires: Solid pneumatic tires deliver the ride height and traction benefits of air pneumatics while eliminating the puncture risk. That means less downtime from flats and more confidence when you cross dock aprons, expansion joints, debris-strewn yards, or uneven surfaces. On a 10000# capacity forklift, solid pneumatics provide a stable footprint and dependable load-bearing support in both indoor and outdoor conditions.
• Fork positioner: A fork positioner allows the operator to hydraulically adjust fork spacing from the seat. In practice, that saves time and boosts safety by aligning forks to different pallet widths, skids, and product bundles without leaving the operator compartment. It reduces product damage and minimizes the back-and-forth repositioning that costs time on every pick.
• Side shift: Side shift enables lateral adjustment of the carriage to the left or right without moving the forklift. When stacking, loading trucks, or placing materials in tight racking, side shift lets operators square up the load quickly, improve placement accuracy, and reduce cycle times—especially helpful for heavy or high-value cargo where precision matters.
• 10000# capacity: With a 10000# capacity rating, the Caterpillar GP50N1 is built for heavier loads that exceed the limits of light-duty warehouse trucks. That extra capacity opens the door to handling dense product, steel and fabricated components, full bundles of lumber, heavy pallets of masonry materials, and oversized industrial equipment with confidence and stability.
• 103" (collapsed) triple mast: The collapsed height of 103 inches allows this triple-stage mast to clear standard doorways and low overhead obstructions found in many warehouses and loading areas. Triple masts offer a strong combination of compact stow height and extended reach, making this GP50N1 more versatile across mixed-clearance sites.
• 219" full free lift height: Full free lift to 219 inches allows the forks to rise significantly before the mast rails extend above the carriage, which is particularly useful inside containers, trailers, or under mezzanines. You gain vertical movement for stacking and unstacking without immediately increasing the overall mast height—ideal for tight spaces where additional overhead clearance is limited.
• Four way hydraulics: Four way hydraulics provide the circuits needed to run attachments like the fork positioner and side shift together, giving operators full control of fork spacing and lateral placement right from the seat. This multi-function hydraulic setup enhances productivity and allows the Caterpillar GP50N1 to adapt to varied load types without manual intervention.
• Lumber forks: Lumber forks are designed to improve support and handling of longer, wider, or bundled materials common in building products. The added surface contact helps reduce product damage while giving operators more control over unwieldy loads like timber packs, sheet goods, or long steel components. On a 10000# forklift, lumber forks help translate the machine’s capacity into safer, more efficient load handling.

Applications

This used Caterpillar GP50N1 is configured for real-world productivity across a wide range of industries that require a 10000# class Industrial Forklift. The propane powertrain and solid pneumatic tires make it equally at home on the warehouse floor and in outdoor yards. The fork positioner and side shift streamline pallet handling and precision stacking, while the triple mast with full free lift height gives it the reach needed to work in racking as well as inside trailers. Typical applications include:

• Lumber yards and building materials distribution where lumber forks and higher capacity are daily requirements
• Manufacturing and fabrication facilities moving steel, machine components, dies, molds, and heavy work-in-process
• Construction supply houses handling masonry, bulk pallets, equipment crates, and jobsite materials
• Warehousing and logistics operations that demand fast cycle times, tight placement, and dependable uptime
• Recycling and industrial yards where puncture risks make solid pneumatic tires a must

Ownership Value

Choosing a Caterpillar GP50N1 means investing in a forklift designed for durability, operator confidence, and long service life. Caterpillar’s industrial forklifts are recognized for robust mast construction, stable chassis design, and reliable hydraulic systems. For owners and fleet managers, that translates into predictable maintenance planning and strong long-term value. Propane fueling cuts downtime and keeps shift productivity high, especially in multi-shift operations. The presence of four way hydraulics, a fork positioner, and side shift reduces handling time and the physical wear on both operators and the forklift itself by eliminating unnecessary repositioning. The 103-inch collapsed triple mast and 219-inch full free lift give you one truck that can work under standard doors and still reach higher storage positions—reducing the need for multiple specialized units. With 6,675 hours on a 2021 unit, you’re getting a modern, capable machine with a specification profile aimed at high-output environments.

Why This Caterpillar GP50N1 Stands Out

It’s the total package of capacity, control, and versatility that sets this used 2021 Caterpillar GP50N1 apart. The 10000# capacity expands what you can lift, the propane fuel keeps the truck in the rotation all day, and the solid pneumatic tires add durability for mixed indoor/outdoor use. The combination of fork positioner and side shift—powered by four way hydraulics—directly improves throughput and accuracy for every operator on every shift. Add the triple mast with a 103-inch collapsed height and 219-inch full free lift, and you get a forklift that can operate in low-overhead zones yet still place loads high when needed. Lumber forks further enhance bundle handling for construction materials and long stock. If you’re looking for a single Industrial Forklift that can do more with fewer compromises, this Caterpillar GP50N1 configuration checks the boxes.
