Overview

The Toyota 8FGU32 is a staple in high-demand warehouses, distribution centers, manufacturing plants, and building-materials yards because it combines dependable Toyota design with the right real-world specs. This machine’s 6,500# capacity provides the strength to lift heavier pallets, bundles, and components, while its triple mast delivers a generous 187" lift height without sacrificing doorway or trailer clearance thanks to an 83" collapsed height.

A propane powerplant supports indoor/outdoor versatility and rapid refueling, and the heated cab keeps operators comfortable and focused when temperatures drop—all backed by NLEQ’s careful testing and inspection process so you can buy with confidence.

Advantages and What These Features Mean in Practice

• Propane power: Propane forklifts deliver smooth torque, consistent power, and quick refueling—swap or refill a tank in minutes and get back to work. They also produce lower emissions than many diesel counterparts, which supports indoor use and helps maintain air quality while still providing enough muscle for outdoor tasks.
• Heated cab: A heated cab keeps operators warm in cold warehouses, loading docks, or outdoor yards. Comfortable operators are more productive and make fewer mistakes, particularly on long shifts during winter months or in cold-storage environments.
• Side shift: Side shift allows the carriage to move left or right without repositioning the entire truck. This shortens cycle times, helps align loads precisely on racking, and reduces the number of steering corrections required in tight aisles or crowded staging areas, decreasing pallet and rack damage.
• Three way hydraulics: With three hydraulic functions readily available (commonly lift, tilt, and a third function such as side shift), operators can handle loads more smoothly and efficiently. This setup also supports common attachment needs while maintaining fine control over fork angle and load placement.
• 6,500# capacity: A 6,500 lb rating gives you the flexibility to handle heavier pallets, building materials, machine components, and mixed loads with confidence. This capacity class is a smart choice for operations that encounter a wide variety of weights, reducing the need to stage a larger, less maneuverable truck for everyday tasks.
• 83" collapsed triple mast: The triple mast compresses to a low 83" collapsed height, making it easier to pass through doorways, trailers, and low-clearance areas. That compact profile expands where you can work without switching equipment or removing mast components.
• 187" lift height: With up to 187 inches of lift, this Toyota 8FGU32 reaches higher rack levels for better vertical storage utilization. You can stack deeper and reduce your floor footprint while maintaining safe, stable handling at height when operated within rated loads.
• Toyota engineering: Toyota forklifts are prized for durability, parts availability, and operator-friendly controls. The 8FGU32 model is known for predictable handling and a solid chassis that stands up to demanding, multi-shift environments.

Applications

The Toyota 8FGU32 Straight Mast Forklift is a versatile workhorse for:

• Warehousing and distribution: Efficient pallet movement, high-bay storage up to 187", and precise staging with side shift.
• Manufacturing: Handling raw materials, WIP, and finished goods where 6,500 lb capacity covers a broad range of component weights.
• Building materials and lumber yards: Reliable outdoor performance with propane power and the ability to move denser loads safely.
• Construction supply and rental yards: Robust, easy-to-service Toyota design for daily loading and unloading of mixed inventory.
• Metals, plastics, and packaging: Confident handling of heavier bundles and molds while maintaining aisle maneuverability.
• Cold-weather operations: Heated cab keeps operators effective in refrigerated spaces and winter conditions.
• Shipping and receiving: Streamline cross-docking and trailer loading thanks to low collapsed mast height and precise side shift control.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used 2020 Toyota 8FGU32 delivers strong ROI. You secure a well-respected brand known for longevity without the depreciation hit of new equipment. Propane keeps operating costs predictable and refueling fast. The 6,500# capacity and 187" lift height mean this single forklift can handle an exceptionally wide range of loads and rack elevations, reducing reliance on multiple specialty units. The 83" collapsed triple mast eases access into trailers and low-clearance zones, helping you avoid bottlenecks and the costs associated with material rehandling. Toyota’s broad dealer and parts network further supports uptime over the life of the machine. Partnering with NLEQ adds confidence: each unit is tested and inspected prior to sale, and our team is available to help you match the machine to your application, plan freight, and coordinate any additional documentation you require for onboarding into your fleet.
