Advantages and Performance Benefits

• 33,000 lb capacity: The 33000# rating opens the door to heavy-duty tasks that are beyond the reach of standard forklifts. This capacity is ideal for handling steel plate and structural members, large molds and dies, concrete forms, heavy machinery components, and oversized pallets or skids. The result is fewer lifts, fewer trips, and better productivity when dealing with dense or bulky materials.
• Diesel power: Diesel delivers strong low-end torque for controlled starts and confident lifting under heavy loads. It is well-suited for industrial duty cycles and offers quick refueling to keep crews moving. In environments where uptime matters, the simplicity of refueling a diesel forklift can be an operational advantage over equipment that requires extended charging windows.
• 96" forks: Extra-long 96" forks provide additional support under long or wide loads, reducing the need for temporary fork extensions in many scenarios. This helps with stability when picking up long bundles of lumber, fabricated assemblies, wide pallets, or materials that require broad support surfaces. Longer forks can also contribute to safer handling by better distributing load weight along the tines.
• Fork positioner: The fork positioner allows operators to adjust fork spacing hydraulically from the seat. This reduces the time spent manually repositioning tines and minimizes the need to step out of the cab, improving cycle times and consistency. By fitting fork spacing precisely to the load, operators can reduce product damage and enhance handling accuracy.
• Side shift: Side shift gives the operator the ability to shift the carriage left or right to fine-tune load placement without re-spotting the truck. This is especially valuable for tight racking, trailer loading, or centering a load in confined spaces. Side shift contributes to faster stacking, fewer corrections, and improved overall throughput.
• 153" collapsed mast / 180" lift height: The standard mast configuration balances stability with useful reach. A 153" collapsed height is designed for clearance considerations during transport and when moving through facilities, while the 180" lift height provides ample vertical travel for staging and stacking heavy materials. This combination supports common indoor and yard tasks where both clearances and working height matter.

Applications

• Steel and metal fabrication: Move plate, beam, coil, and fabricated assemblies with the stability and torque required for dense materials.
• Precast concrete and masonry: Handle forms, molds, blocks, and finished precast elements that demand a high-capacity straight mast forklift.
• Lumber and building materials: Support long or wide bundles with 96" forks and place loads accurately with side shift and a fork positioner.
• Heavy manufacturing: Lift and position large machinery components, dies, and tooling in assembly or staging areas.
• Logistics yards and transload: Improve turn times when transferring heavy cargo between rail, truck, and storage, where precise fork control reduces rework.
• Industrial equipment dealers and rental fleets: Add a reliable, high-capacity unit that covers peak heavy-lift needs or specialized customer requirements.

Ownership Value

Buying a used Caterpillar P33000 offers strong value compared to the cost of a new heavy-capacity forklift. The lower acquisition cost helps preserve capital while still providing the capability required for demanding work. Diesel power is a proven choice in industrial settings, and the P33000 platform is well-regarded for durability and serviceability. With 4,235 hours, this machine offers a balance between usage history and remaining utility, subject to your maintenance plan and operating environment. The included fork positioner and side shift add measurable productivity and can reduce product damage by enabling more precise handling. Longer 96" forks further enhance stability and load support, potentially reducing the need for extra attachments. Over time, these advantages compound into fewer handling steps, improved cycle times, and more consistent placement, all of which contribute to a lower cost per move.
