This Caterpillar DP40K is a used diesel forklift — sometimes referred to as a lift truck or forklift truck — built for heavy-duty material handling in warehouses, distribution centres, yards, and industrial facilities. Caterpillar is a globally recognised manufacturer of construction, mining, and industrial equipment, and their lift truck range is known for durability and performance in demanding environments.
This 2008 machine is rated at 8,000 lb lift capacity, placing it firmly in the heavy end of the standard counterbalanced forklift range and making it well suited to moving palletised loads, heavy crates, and bulk materials. It is powered by a diesel engine and runs on pneumatic tyres, which are designed to handle uneven or outdoor surfaces as well as indoor concrete floors, giving the machine flexibility across a variety of working conditions.
The forklift is fitted with a three-stage mast, which provides a lowered height of 84 inches and a raised height of 173 inches. The three-stage configuration allows for compact travel clearance while still achieving a substantial lift height, useful in facilities where overhead clearance is limited but high racking is in use. Four-way hydraulics are equipped, enabling side-shift or other auxiliary hydraulic functions beyond standard lift and tilt, and the machine comes with forks included.
The operator station features a partial cab, offering some degree of weather and debris protection while maintaining good visibility and ventilation. The unit is currently located in Illinois, USA, and is priced at $21,950.
