Advantages and What They Mean on the Job

• Propane power: Propane forklifts are valued for quick refueling, consistent performance, and clean operation. For facilities that balance indoor and outdoor work, propane offers a practical, low-downtime solution that keeps crews moving without lengthy charging cycles.
• 15,500# capacity: This capacity class opens the door to heavier-duty applications without stepping up to specialized equipment. It is ideal for moving dense pallets, large fabrications, precast products, heavy building materials, and other substantial loads with confidence.
• 95" collapsed triple mast: The compact collapsed height helps the machine clear lower doorways and overhead obstructions, making it easier to transition between work areas. A triple mast design also supports efficient lift within a relatively short mast package.
• 171" lift height: Sufficient elevation for loading and unloading trucks, positioning loads on racking in many industrial settings, and staging materials at workable heights. It provides a useful balance of reach and stability for day-to-day operations.
• Four Way Hydraulics: Additional hydraulic functions improve fine control of forks and enable the use of compatible hydraulic features. Operators benefit from smoother, more precise load handling—especially important when dealing with heavy, high-value, or fragile cargo.
• Yale build quality: Yale forklifts are recognized for robust frames, dependable drivetrains, and wide parts availability. That translates to predictable uptime and easier long-term support compared to less established brands.

Applications

With its capacity, mast profile, and propane power, this used Yale GLC155VX Straight Mast Forklift is a strong match for a wide range of industrial and commercial environments. Whether your priority is heavy inbound/outbound logistics or daily production support, it has the capabilities needed to be a productive component of your fleet.

• Manufacturing and fabrication: Move large subassemblies, tooling, dies, and heavy raw materials between work cells or to staging areas.
• Building materials and lumber: Handle bundles of lumber, engineered wood, roofing, and masonry products with confidence and control.
• Steel and metals: Transport pallets of plate, bar, coil, and finished components, supporting both warehouse and shop-floor workflows.
• Precast and concrete products: Position molds, finished precast elements, and related heavy inventory in tight, busy yards.
• Equipment distribution and rental yards: Load and unload heavy attachments and in-fleet components with predictable stability.
• Recycling and waste handling: Manage dense bales and containers, benefiting from the capacity and extra hydraulic control.
• Distribution and cross-docking: Support fast turnarounds on heavy goods with a practical lift height for dock work and staging.
• Construction supply and industrial trade centers: Serve customers more efficiently by moving heavy inventory safely and quickly.

Ownership Value

Buying a used straight mast forklift from a top-tier brand like Yale can deliver excellent return on investment, especially in the high-capacity class. The depreciation curve has already flattened compared to new, but you still gain a late-model machine with the features that matter most: dependable power, strong capacity, compact mast height, and improved hydraulic control. Propane further enhances value by minimizing refuel time and supporting mixed indoor/outdoor operations without the infrastructure costs of fast chargers or the range anxiety of long shifts.

Supportability is another core factor. Yale’s widespread dealer and parts network helps ensure continued access to wear items and service components, which can reduce downtime over the life of the machine. The GLC155VX platform is well-known in the field, making it easier to integrate into existing maintenance programs and to train operators who may already be familiar with the controls and handling characteristics of similar Yale models. For buyers focused on total cost of ownership, these practical advantages add up to more predictable budgeting and better operational continuity.

Why This GLC155VX Stands Out

This specific unit’s feature set is well-matched to tough material handling tasks. The combination of propane power, a 15,500# capacity rating, compact collapsed mast height, and a lift height suited to everyday loading work makes it a versatile choice for facilities that need one forklift to cover a lot of ground. Four Way Hydraulics elevate precision, enabling operators to handle heavy loads more delicately, which can reduce product damage and speed up cycle times.

The 2021 model year places this machine in a modern generation of equipment, and the documented 8,275 hours provide a straightforward picture of real-world use.
