Advantages

• Propane power for reliable output: Propane offers consistent engine performance with quick refueling, helping reduce downtime and keeping productivity steady across shifts. It’s a strong choice for both indoor and outdoor use where a clean-burning fuel and fast turnaround are important.
• 8000# capacity for heavier loads: The P8000’s rated capacity supports the safe handling of dense materials—think pallets of masonry units, steel components, heavy lumber packs, equipment crates, or jobsite supplies—without overtaxing the machine.
• Double Mast for stability and sightlines: A Double Mast (two-stage) design emphasizes rigidity, simplicity, and visibility through the mast. Fewer moving sections can mean fewer wear points compared to taller multi-stage assemblies, which many operators appreciate for day-to-day loading and unloading tasks.
• 105" collapsed height to clear low openings: The 105" collapsed mast helps this forklift navigate lower doorways and storage areas that might restrict taller masts, improving access and workflow across mixed-height facilities.
• 159" maximum lift height for versatile stacking: With 159" of lift, you can service common dock heights, load and unload trailers, and stack pallets to practical working heights in warehouses and yards.
• Trusted Caterpillar build quality: Caterpillar forklifts are known for robust frames and dependable driveline components, supporting long service life when maintained properly. Strong OEM support and broad parts availability help reduce downtime and protect value.
• Professional inspection by NLEQ: Each piece of equipment is vetted before listing, providing buyers with reliable, fact-based information and a more seamless purchasing experience.

Applications

The Caterpillar P8000 Straight Mast Forklift suits a wide range of material handling needs where an 8000# capacity and moderate lift height are ideal. It’s an excellent fit for:

• Contractors and jobsite logistics: Move dense jobsite materials, stage deliveries, and support project mobilization and demobilization.
• Building supply and lumber yards: Handle heavy bundles, boards, sheet goods, and hardware pallets with confidence and repeatable control.
• Manufacturing and fabrication: Feed production lines, reposition work-in-progress, and load outbound shipments efficiently.
• Distribution centers and warehouses: Manage palletized goods, dock work, and daily order fulfillment where reliable lift capability is essential.
• Precast, masonry, and hardscape operations: Transport concrete products, pavers, and stone with appropriate capacity and stability.
• Equipment rental fleets: Add a proven, mainstream capacity class to serve a broad cross-section of customers and job requirements.

Ownership Value

When evaluating a used Straight Mast Forklift, buyers look for the right mix of capacity, fuel type, operating hours, and brand support. This 2011 Caterpillar P8000 delivers in each area. The 8000# rating covers many core material handling tasks without stepping up to a larger, costlier machine. Propane helps control fuel costs, supports quick refueling, and keeps operations moving. Caterpillar’s reputation and parts availability work in your favor for serviceability. And at 5190 hours, this forklift reflects the practical usage you’d expect from a professional-grade unit that still has meaningful service life ahead with proper maintenance.

Buying used can also reduce your total cost of ownership significantly compared to new, while giving you the features and capacity you need right away. The P8000’s straightforward Double Mast design further supports manageable upkeep, which can translate into predictable operating costs and fewer surprises over time.

Why This P8000

Not all used forklifts in this capacity range offer the same balance of specifications and value. This Caterpillar P8000 stands out because it pairs an 8000# capacity and propane power with a 105" collapsed Double Mast and 159" lift height—an especially practical mix for most real-world loading, unloading, and stacking tasks. The 2011 model year, 5190 hours, and a price of $29,875.00 create an attractive proposition for buyers focused on capability and return on investment rather than unnecessary complexity.

If you’re standardizing on reliable, high-demand forklifts that operators can put to work immediately, this unit aligns well with those priorities. It’s designed to do the fundamentals exceptionally well, day after day, with brand support that’s widely recognized across the industry.
