This Caterpillar V80D is a gas forklift — sometimes called a lift truck or forklift truck — a materials-handling machine used across warehouses, distribution centres, manufacturing facilities, and industrial yards to raise, move, and position heavy loads. Caterpillar is one of the world's most recognised names in heavy equipment, building machinery for construction, mining, and industrial applications, and their forklift range has long been valued for robust construction and reliability.
This 1982 machine is offered in used condition from Idaho, USA, and is powered by a Perkins propane engine, giving it the clean-burning, indoor-friendly characteristics associated with LPG-fuelled forklifts.
The forklift carries a rated lift capacity of 8,000 lb, making it well suited to heavy-duty pallet and load work. Maximum fork reach stands at 11 feet 4 inches, providing useful working height for stacking or loading at elevation. The mast is equipped with tilt functionality, allowing the operator to angle the forks forward or back for safe load engagement and travel. Fork positioning is handled manually rather than via a hydraulic side-shift, which is a straightforward, low-maintenance arrangement common on machines of this era.
The forks themselves measure 53 inches in length, with a cross-section of 4 inches wide by 2 inches thick — a substantial, heavy-duty profile appropriate for the machine's 8,000 lb capacity rating.
