This Caterpillar DP55N1 is a used diesel forklift — sometimes called a lift truck or forklift truck — designed for heavy-duty material handling across warehouses, distribution centres, construction sites, and industrial facilities. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised manufacturers of heavy equipment, building machinery that serves construction, mining, logistics, and infrastructure industries, and their lift truck range is known for durability in demanding working environments.
This 2015 machine is located in Illinois, USA, and is offered at $42,950. Its headline capability is a 12,000-pound lift capacity, placing it firmly in the heavy-duty forklift class and making it well suited to moving large pallets, heavy machinery components, or dense bulk loads.
The mast configuration is a three-stage unit with a lowered height of 104 inches and a maximum lift height of 219 inches. The three-stage design allows the mast to extend to that considerable working height while keeping the collapsed height low enough for operation in spaces with overhead restrictions. The 219-inch maximum lift height — just over 18 feet — gives the operator the reach needed for high-rack storage or loading elevated platforms and trailers.
Power comes from a diesel engine, consistent with the machine's heavy lifting rating and its suitability for outdoor or well-ventilated industrial applications. Pneumatic tyres are fitted, which provide traction, load stability, and ride comfort on uneven or rough outdoor surfaces, distinguishing this unit from cushion-tyre forklifts intended solely for smooth indoor floors.
A notable feature of this listing is the three-way hydraulics plumbed to the carriage. This means the machine is equipped with hydraulic circuits that can power auxiliary attachments — such as sideshifters, rotators, or clamps — directly from the carriage, greatly extending its versatility beyond standard fork work. Forks are included with the machine.
