Condition and Inspection

NLEQ’s inspection process focuses on operational readiness, so you can put this forklift to work quickly and confidently after purchase. If you have specific questions about operating systems or wish to review inspection notes, contact our team and we’ll provide the details you need to make a confident decision.

Advantages That Matter on the Job

• Diesel Power: Diesel delivers the torque and fuel efficiency that material handling demands. For frequent lifting and carrying, diesel’s low-end power helps get heavy loads moving smoothly and keeps performance consistent through long shifts.
• 3-Stage Mast Versatility: A 3-stage mast provides a strong combination of lift height capability and a more compact collapsed profile compared to 2-stage designs. That means better reach for stacking and loading while still fitting into tighter height-restricted areas for transport or indoor transitions.
• 72" Forks for Load Support: The 72-inch fork length gives added load contact and stability for longer pallets, bundled materials, pipe, and fabricated components. More fork under the load can help reduce tipping moments and improve handling confidence when positioning materials.
• Heated Cab for All-Season Productivity: Heat keeps operators focused and effective in cold-weather conditions, improving comfort, reducing downtime, and extending your usable work window during fall, winter, and early spring operations.
• Straight Mast Simplicity: Straight mast forklifts are known for durability, visibility, and consistent handling. This configuration is a go-to choice when you need reliable lifting, frequent loading/unloading, and straightforward maintenance.

Practical Applications

• Construction Sites: Move pallets of block, brick, cement products, and packaged building materials where they’re needed for crews. The 3-stage mast helps with stacking in staging areas and loading trucks.
• Lumber and Building Materials Yards: Load and unload flatbed trucks, organize inventory, and stage orders efficiently. The longer 72" forks support bundles and oversize pallets commonly found in LBM operations.
• Industrial and Fabrication Facilities: Transport steel, fabricated assemblies, equipment crates, and supplies between work cells and shipping docks with predictable control and visibility.
• Precast and Masonry Operations: Position product safely, handle forms and molds, and keep work moving through production and shipping areas.
• Equipment Rental and Logistics Yards: Manage inbound and outbound equipment, pallets, and supplies, benefiting from diesel efficiency and the mast’s flexible reach profile.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used 2019 Manitou M50-2 Straight Mast Forklift with 4,460 hours is a value-forward decision. Instead of paying a premium for a new machine, you acquire a proven forklift with desirable features—diesel power, a 3-stage mast, 72" forks, and heat—that help generate immediate ROI. Manitou’s reputation for robust design contributes to a lower total cost of ownership through reliable operation and serviceability. The diesel platform supports long service intervals and fuel economy advantages over time. For fleet managers balancing capital budgets and utilization targets, this M50-2’s late-model year and moderate hours make it a compelling option that’s ready to work right away.

Why This 2019 Manitou M50-2 Stands Out
