A customer in Chile shared real photos after receiving and putting a RUNTX CPQYD25 2.5-ton LPG forklift into use. Because the customer also needed to work at night, the forklift was configured with a complete lighting setup to support safer low-light operation.
Not every forklift purchase is decided by rated capacity alone. For many small contractors, warehouse operators and local equipment users, the real question is whether the machine fits the way the work is actually done.
Sometimes that means choosing a more flexible fuel type. Sometimes it means balancing cost and operating convenience. And in some cases, like this project in Chile, it also means making sure the forklift can work reliably after dark.
Recently, a customer in Chile sent RUNTX several on-site photos after receiving a CPQYD25 2.5-ton LPG forklift. The pictures show the machine during unloading and the first stage of local operation. More importantly, they also show one of the customer’s practical requirements very clearly: this forklift was expected to work at night, so lighting performance was part of the real application, not just an optional detail.
For smaller buyers, that is often how equipment decisions are made in practice. The right machine is not simply the cheapest one or the one with the highest specification. It is the one that matches the customer’s working hours, site conditions and daily handling needs.
A CPQYD25 Configured for Real Daily Work
The forklift in this case is a 2.5-ton dual-fuel LPG & gasoline model. In RUNTX’s current LPG forklift range, the CPQYD25 sits in a practical middle position: large enough for a wide variety of palletized goods and general industrial handling, while still remaining compact and manageable for smaller sites.
For many end users, this capacity class is a smart choice because it avoids two common problems. A machine that is too small can quickly become restrictive once the load becomes heavier or bulkier than expected. A machine that is too large may increase purchasing cost and operating overhead without bringing proportional value in daily work.
The RUNTX CPQYD LPG Forklift Series covers CPQYD20, CPQYD25, CPQYD30 and CPQYD35 configurations. On the current published specification, the CPQYD25 offers a 2,500 kg rated capacity, a 500 mm load center and a 3,000 mm standard lifting height, making it well suited to mixed warehouse and yard work.
That balance is one reason this model is attractive not only to dealers, but also to smaller contractors and independent buyers who need one forklift that can handle a broad range of jobs.
From Delivery to Immediate Use in Chile
The customer’s photos were taken after the forklift had already arrived and was being handled locally. Unlike polished factory images, these pictures show the practical receiving stage and the machine entering real use.
One image shows the CPQYD25 working at night while unloading or moving large packaged equipment from a truck. Another shows the forklift on a flatbed, ready for local transfer. A third image shows the customer seated in the machine and clearly pleased with the delivery.
For a case study, that kind of sequence is useful because it does more than prove shipment. It shows that the forklift has moved beyond factory production and has reached the stage where the customer is already using it in the field.
The Chilean customer received a RUNTX CPQYD25 2.5-ton LPG forklift, started local receiving and operation shortly after delivery, and used the machine in a working environment that included nighttime handling.
Why Lighting Matters More Than Buyers Sometimes Expect
Lighting is easy to underestimate when choosing a forklift, especially if the discussion focuses only on engine, mast and capacity. But for customers who load trucks in the evening, handle cargo in low-light yards or continue working after sunset, proper illumination becomes a very practical requirement.
In this Chile project, the customer specifically needed the forklift to support nighttime use. That is why the machine was equipped with a more complete lighting setup to help improve visibility around the truck, the load and the travel path.
For the operator, this is not a cosmetic feature. Better lighting can make it easier to align forks, check the load, maneuver near vehicles and continue working when natural light is no longer available. For smaller businesses, that also helps maximize equipment utilization. If one forklift must support both daytime and evening work, it needs to be configured accordingly from the start.
This is exactly the kind of detail that makes a real customer case more useful than a generic brochure description. It reminds future buyers to think not only about what they will lift, but also when and where they will lift it.
Why LPG Forklifts Appeal to Flexible, Cost-Conscious Buyers
For many small and medium-sized businesses, LPG forklifts offer a practical middle ground between diesel and electric equipment.
They are often chosen by buyers who want a cleaner-running alternative to diesel, but who also need fast refueling and do not want to depend entirely on battery charging infrastructure. That makes LPG and dual-fuel machines particularly useful for operations where downtime must be kept short and the machine may work across different shifts.
In a case like this one, where the forklift may be used at night and needs to stay ready for work when required, that operational flexibility becomes even more relevant. The buyer is not just purchasing a 2.5-ton machine; they are purchasing a machine that can fit the rhythm of the business.
For distributors and rental businesses, that is also a helpful sales point. A 2.5-ton LPG forklift can serve a wide range of customers without forcing them into a fully electric setup or a larger diesel unit than they actually need.
Need a Forklift for Day and Night Operation?
Tell RUNTX your capacity requirement, working schedule, site condition and destination. We can help configure the right forklift and discuss practical options such as lighting, mast height, tires and fuel type before shipment.
A Practical Example for Smaller Buyers
This Chilean delivery is a good example of how many smaller international buyers really make equipment decisions. They do not always need the biggest forklift, and they do not always want a highly customized fleet from day one. What they need first is one properly chosen machine that matches their working conditions and starts generating value quickly.
The CPQYD25 in this case was not treated as a showroom product. It was received, moved and prepared for actual site work, including night-shift use. That makes the case especially relevant to independent buyers, local contractors and warehouse owners who are trying to balance practical performance with a manageable first investment.
RUNTX supports both single-unit orders and small-batch fleet purchasing, which makes factory-direct procurement more accessible to businesses that want flexibility rather than a rigid bulk-order requirement.
