Condition

Every machine sold by NLEQ is carefully tested and inspected before listing, and this Hyster 120FT is no exception. Hours are recorded at 9,485 at the time of listing. The core operational systems—engine, transmission, mast, and hydraulics—are evaluated so buyers can make decisions with confidence. Prospective buyers are encouraged to request current photos, video, and inspection details to review the unit’s operating condition and maintenance presentation.

Advantages

• Diesel power for serious torque: Diesel delivers strong low-end power for lifting dense, heavy materials with confidence. It’s a practical choice when you need consistent performance across long shifts and outdoor environments.
• Heated cab for year-round productivity: A heated cab helps maintain operator comfort in cold climates, which supports safety and reduces fatigue. Comfortable operators tend to be more consistent and efficient throughout the day.
• High-capacity handling: With a 12,000# rating, this Hyster 120FT is built for substantial payloads. Move heavy pallets, bundles, and fabricated components efficiently without overtaxing the machine.
• Triple mast with compact collapsed height: The triple mast provides the vertical reach your operation needs while collapsing down to 96". That compact height helps when entering buildings with standard door openings, loading containers, or working in facilities with clearance constraints.
• Tall lift capability: The 185" lift height allows confident stacking and storage at elevated rack positions, improving vertical utilization of warehouse or yard space.
• Four Way Hydraulics for versatility: With Four Way Hydraulics, operators have the control needed to run multiple hydraulic functions. This expands versatility for tasks that require precision load handling or hydraulic attachments configured for the job.
• Proven Hyster durability: Hyster forklifts are known for rugged frames, dependable drivetrains, and parts support, aligning with long-term uptime goals and predictable ownership costs.

Applications

This used Hyster 120FT straight mast forklift is an excellent fit for operations that demand high-capacity handling with reliable reach and control. Typical use cases include:

• Building materials and lumber yards moving large bundles, sheet goods, and engineered products.
• Metals and fabrication shops handling steel beams, plate, and heavy fabricated assemblies.
• Manufacturing and industrial plants loading/unloading trucks, staging work-in-process, and feeding production lines.
• Precast, stone, and masonry yards where dense, heavy units require stable, controlled lifting.
• Distribution centers storing and retrieving heavy pallets at height while maximizing floor and vertical space.
• Outdoor yards and mixed environments where diesel performance and a heated cab keep productivity steady in changing weather conditions.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used Hyster 120FT from NLEQ offers a practical balance of capability and cost control. You get a heavy-capacity, diesel-powered straight mast forklift that’s already configured with Four Way Hydraulics and a heated cab—features that can materially impact productivity in real-world conditions. The triple mast’s compact collapsed height simplifies access to tighter spaces, while the tall lift height supports better use of vertical storage. Together, these traits reduce workarounds and help streamline daily workflows.

Hyster’s standing in the market also supports long-term value. Parts availability, service familiarity, and a wide base of operator experience can help simplify maintenance and training. For managers focused on total cost of ownership, this combination translates to predictable performance and reduced downtime risk when maintained appropriately.

Why this 120FT

Not all forklifts in this class are configured to be both powerful and practical.

Four Way Hydraulics expand on-the-job versatility, enabling the hydraulic control functionality many operations require. With 9,485 hours and a price of $29,875, it represents a compelling opportunity for buyers seeking a proven, well-configured straight mast forklift without the cost of new equipment.
