This Caterpillar 2P5000 is a used gas forklift — also commonly called a lift truck — a type of powered industrial truck designed to lift, carry, and stack loads across warehouses, distribution centres, loading docks, and industrial facilities. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy equipment and industrial machinery, serving construction, mining, logistics, and material handling industries globally.
This 2011 machine is rated at a 5,000-pound lift capacity, making it a capable mid-range forklift suited to a wide variety of pallet and load handling tasks. It is powered by an LP gas (liquid propane) engine and paired with an automatic transmission, offering straightforward operation and consistent power delivery. The swing-down LP tank bracket is included, providing a practical and secure mounting arrangement for the propane cylinder.
The forklift is equipped with a three-stage mast measuring 83 inches collapsed and 188 inches extended, giving it a substantial lift height for reaching elevated racking or loading trailers. Side shift is also fitted, allowing the operator to move the forks laterally without repositioning the entire machine — a feature that significantly improves pallet placement precision and overall efficiency.
The machine has been serviced and tuned up, and runs on new solid pneumatic tyres, which are well suited to both indoor and outdoor use on firm surfaces and offer durability without the risk of punctures. This forklift is located in Illinois, USA.
