2021 Mitsubishi FGC40K Propane

Hours: 1520 | Year: 2021 | Make: Mitsubishi | Model: FGC40K | Category: Industrial Forklifts

This 2021 Mitsubishi FGC40K is a proven, high-capacity Industrial Forklift built for productivity, precision, and reliability. With only 1,520 hours and the right specification package for demanding indoor material handling, it delivers the blend of capability and control serious buyers expect from a Mitsubishi forklift. Offered by NLEQ—where every unit is carefully tested and inspected before being listed—this used Mitsubishi FGC40K is a strong choice for warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing facilities, and industrial operations that need an 8,000 lb class cushion-tire truck with excellent operator features.

Overview

The Mitsubishi FGC40K is designed to move heavy loads efficiently in tight, high-throughput environments. This forklift is powered by propane for consistent performance and minimal downtime between shifts, and its cushion tires are optimized for smooth indoor surfaces. The configuration includes a triple-stage mast that collapses to a low overall height while still reaching a generous lift height, plus a fork positioner and side shift to speed up load handling with accuracy. Four way hydraulics are included to support these functions. The result is a capable, operator-friendly truck built to handle heavy skids, dense pallets, and bulky materials with confidence.

Condition

Like every piece of used equipment offered by NLEQ, this Mitsubishi FGC40K has been carefully tested and inspected prior to listing. The hours are recorded at 1,520, reflecting modest use for a 2021 unit. Buyers can expect transparent, fact-based information about performance and features so you can make a confident decision. Prospective buyers are welcome to request additional details to align this forklift’s capabilities with specific site and load requirements.

Advantages of This Configuration

Every specification on this used Mitsubishi forklift adds real-world value. Here’s how these details translate into day-to-day advantages for your operation:

• Propane power: Propane forklifts are known for steady power delivery and quick refueling. There’s no long recharge cycle; swapping or filling a tank gets the truck back to work fast. Propane also lends itself well to mixed indoor/outdoor use with appropriate ventilation protocols and is a popular choice in high-turnover warehouse and manufacturing environments.
• Cushion tires: Cushion tires deliver a smaller turning radius compared to pneumatic options and excel on smooth, indoor floors. They help the FGC40K maneuver efficiently in narrow aisles, staging areas, and busy loading zones, which is ideal for dense warehouse layouts or tight production spaces.
• Fork positioner: A fork positioner lets the operator adjust fork spacing hydraulically from the seat, cutting down on manual fork changes. This reduces time between load types, minimizes the need to dismount, and helps keep throughput high—especially in operations handling varying pallet widths or mixed load configurations.
• Side shift: Side shift allows precise left/right placement without having to reposition the truck. This saves time when aligning pallets with racks, staging tightly on trailers, or placing loads where precision is essential. Over a full shift, the time savings add up to higher productivity and reduced tire wear from fewer micro-movements.
• 8,000 lb at 24" load center: An 8,000-pound capacity rating at a 24-inch load center gives you the ability to handle heavier pallets and dense materials. Understanding the 24-inch load center is crucial—capacity is rated with the load’s center of gravity at 24 inches from the mast face. Staying within that envelope preserves rated capacity and keeps operations safe and compliant.
• Triple mast, 86" collapsed / 183" lift height: The triple-stage mast delivers the best of both worlds: a low collapsed height for doorways and mezzanine access, and a high lift height for racking and stacking. At 86 inches collapsed, the truck remains versatile in facilities with overhead constraints; at 183 inches full lift, it can rack loads at significant height.
• Four way hydraulics: With four hydraulic functions plumbed, the operator can run the fork positioner and side shift decisively from the seat. This setup supports efficient attachment use and gives operators the precise control needed for fast, safe load placement across varied tasks.

Applications and Industry Relevance

The Mitsubishi FGC40K’s specification set is aligned with rigorous indoor material-handling demands. It’s a smart fit for:

• Warehousing and distribution: Move heavy, mixed-dimension pallets quickly with minimal repositioning thanks to side shift and fork positioning. The cushion tire chassis excels in smooth-floored, high-throughput DCs.
• Manufacturing and assembly: Support production lines, work-in-process transfers, and staging with accurate, repeatable placement. The 8,000 lb capacity gives headroom for bulk materials and tooling.
• Building materials and home improvement supply: Manage dense pallets of tile, stone, cement products, or fasteners in indoor yards and cross-docks with precise control and confident lift capability.
• Food and beverage: Keep goods moving efficiently with quick propane refueling and the agility of cushion tires in tight coolers, bottling lines, or case-pick areas, following all site ventilation standards.
• Metal fabrication and components: Handle heavy plate, fixtures, and parts bins with the stability and lift height needed for racking or staging.

In any of these environments, the blend of capacity, precision hydraulics, and maneuverability reduces cycle times and helps operators maintain safe, repeatable workflows.

Ownership Value

Mitsubishi forklifts are widely regarded for durability and straightforward serviceability. For buyers seeking a used Industrial Forklift that balances capability and cost, this 2021 FGC40K represents a compelling value proposition. Propane-powered fleets are simple to keep running with tank management, and cushion-tire trucks typically see lower tire and drivetrain wear on smooth floors. The mast and hydraulic configuration are spec’d for versatility, helping a single truck cover more tasks and reducing the need for secondary specialty units. Over time, those efficiencies can translate into lower total cost of ownership and better asset utilization.

Why This Mitsubishi FGC40K

Choosing a used forklift is ultimately about matching features to the work. This machine brings together the right elements for fast, accurate load handling:

• 8,000 lb capacity at a standard 24" load center for heavy-duty loads
• Triple-stage mast with low collapsed height and strong lift height for tight facilities with vertical reach needs
• Propane power for consistent performance and quick turnaround between shifts
• Cushion tires for optimal agility on smooth, indoor surfaces
• Fork positioner and side shift to reduce handling time and improve placement precision
• Four way hydraulics to leverage those functions efficiently from the seat
• 2021 model year with 1,520 hours, aligning modern design with low-hour use

For operations that value throughput, precision, and dependable handling, this configuration hits the mark without overcomplicating the spec or adding features that don’t drive daily productivity.
