Showing just 3275 hours and offered at $59,875, it delivers the strength, lift height, and operator-focused features that heavy construction, industrial yards, and outdoor operations require. As with every machine sold by NLEQ, this unit has been carefully tested and inspected before being listed, giving buyers confidence in accurate, honest, and reliable information.

Overview

The LiftKing LK12M22 is engineered for productivity where other forklifts struggle: uneven ground, jobsite approaches, laydown yards, and outdoor material staging areas. With a stout 12000 lb capacity, a triple-stage mast that collapses to a compact height while reaching significant lift height, and a diesel powerplant for high torque and long-duty cycles, the LK12M22 is built to move heavy loads efficiently. The machine’s side shift and fork positioner (both highly valued in real-world loading scenarios) allow operators to align, center, and place loads precisely without extra maneuvering—saving time, protecting inventory, and improving safety. Inside the heated cab, operators stay comfortable and focused in cold or wet conditions, enabling consistent productivity year-round.

The 96-inch forks provide the leverage and stability needed for long or bulky materials, while the rough-terrain design helps maintain confident handling across gravel, rutted surfaces, and variable site conditions. Whether you are feeding materials to crews, staging loads for transport, or stocking yard inventory, the LiftKing LK12M22 brings the right balance of power, reach, and control to keep work moving.

Advantages of the LiftKing LK12M22

• Productive capacity: A 12000 lb rating allows this forklift to confidently handle dense pallets, fabricated components, precast, pipe bundles, structural steel, lumber packs, and other heavy materials common on construction and industrial sites.
• Efficient vertical reach: The triple mast design combines a compact 129-inch collapsed height with a tall 252-inch lift. This means more stacking and staging flexibility without sacrificing transport or clearance friendliness.
• Diesel power: Diesel delivers the torque needed to start, lift, and travel with heavy loads across uneven surfaces and grades, supporting longer operating intervals and strong performance under load.
• Precision load handling: With side shift and a fork positioner, the operator can laterally fine-tune placement and adjust fork spacing from the seat. This shortens cycle times, reduces re-spotting, and helps prevent pallet or product damage.
• Operator comfort in all seasons: A heated cab keeps operators warm and attentive in cold weather, which improves consistency and reduces downtime during winter or early-morning shifts.
• Optimized for long loads: The 96-inch forks provide extra support and stability when handling elongated materials, improving control and helping distribute weight more evenly.
• Built for rough terrain: As a rough terrain straight mast forklift, the LK12M22 is designed for jobsite realities, from gravel access roads to compacted dirt lots—helping you work where indoor cushion-tire forklifts cannot.

Applications

The LiftKing LK12M22 is a versatile solution for contractors, rental fleets, and industrial operations that demand reliable lifting capacity and confident outdoor performance. Typical use cases include:

• Construction sites: Transporting pallets of masonry, rebar bundles, forms, and heavy building materials across changing site conditions.
