Overview

The Yale GLP155VX is built for the harsh, repetitive demands of moving heavy loads all day long. In this configuration, you get commanding diesel torque for outdoor and yard work, precise load placement via side shift and a fork positioner, and the clearance flexibility of a triple-stage mast that fits under common doorways while still reaching high rack positions. The 15,500-pound capacity puts this unit squarely in the heavy-lift class for handling dense materials, large pallets, fabricated steel, precast concrete components, heavy lumber packs, and bulk industrial loads without pushing the machine beyond its intended duty range. For operations that value reliable throughput, confidence in stability, and the ability to adapt to different load sizes quickly, this 2016 GLP155VX offers a strong blend of capability and control.

Advantages and What These Features Mean in Practice

• Diesel power for demanding duty cycles: Diesel delivers strong low-end torque and sustained power under load, ideal for outdoor yards, uneven surfaces, and heavy materials. It helps the GLP155VX accelerate and climb with confidence while maintaining lifting performance shift after shift.
• 15500# Capacity for serious loads: A 15,500-pound rating opens the door to applications beyond the reach of standard warehouse lifts. From thick steel plate and rebar bundles to concrete molds, transformers, and oversized pallets of building materials, this capacity class reduces the need for workarounds or multiple trips.
• Fork positioner for faster, safer handling: Adjust fork spacing from the operator’s seat to match load width precisely. This improves throughput when switching between different pallet sizes and odd-dimension loads, reduces the risk of product damage, and helps operators maintain a comfortable, efficient workflow without climbing down to reposition forks manually.
• Side shift for precise placement: Lateral carriage movement lets the operator nudge loads into perfect alignment without re-approaching the stack. This is critical when loading trucks, feeding production lines, or slotting heavy items into tight rack openings where accuracy prevents damage and minimizes rework.
• 113-inch collapsed triple mast / 220-inch lift height: The triple-stage mast gives you the best of both worlds—low overall collapsed height to clear standard doors, mezzanines, or low overhead obstructions, and ample maximum lift height for stacking and racking in bulk storage. You gain operational flexibility across different work areas without a second machine.
• Four Way Hydrailics for attachment control: Four-function hydraulics give you the control channels you need for the fork positioner, side shift, and other hydraulic features. It simplifies attachment use and lets operators transition between functions seamlessly, boosting productivity and maintaining smooth, predictable handling.
• Yale build quality and ergonomics: Yale forklifts are known for rugged construction and intuitive operator environments. That translates to consistent performance, stable handling under load, and controls designed to reduce operator fatigue on long shifts.

Applications and Industry Relevance

This 2016 Yale GLP155VX Straight Mast Forklift is a versatile solution for operations that routinely move heavy, dense, or oversized loads and need consistent, repeatable precision. Typical use cases include:

• Lumber and building materials yards moving long or heavy bundles, engineered wood products, and palletized masonry
• Steel service centers handling plate, structural beams, coil, and fabricated assemblies
• Precast and concrete product manufacturing where weight and bulk demand higher capacity equipment
• Heavy manufacturing, machining, and fabrication shops that move dies, jigs, tooling, and finished components
• Ports, rail yards, and intermodal environments requiring robust lifting power and dependable outdoor performance
• Construction supply distributors and equipment rental yards managing mixed pallets and diverse inventory sizes

For any fleet that needs to balance heavy lift capability with precise load placement, the combination of diesel power, side shift, and an in-cab fork positioner turns into day-to-day productivity gains. The triple mast’s low collapsed height also broadens where this forklift can operate, allowing transitions from outdoor yards into covered loading areas and through standard-height access points.

Ownership Value

Buying a used Yale GLP155VX Straight Mast Forklift at this specification level delivers strong total value. You benefit from the heavy-lift capacity and robust diesel performance without taking the steep depreciation hit that comes with buying new. Yale’s reputation for durability and readily available parts supports long-term serviceability and helps keep operating costs predictable. Attachments like the fork positioner and side shift contribute directly to throughput and damage reduction, which shows up in real savings over time.

Because this unit is configured with Four Way Hydrailics, you also have a hydraulic foundation capable of supporting current and future attachment needs within the system’s scope, giving you flexibility as tasks evolve. For managers focused on ROI, this machine’s hour count, capability set, and brand reputation align to create a practical, cost-effective addition to the fleet.
