With their compact design, amazing manoeuvrability and intelligent control systems, these trucks are the automatic choice when space is tight.

Ideal for efficient handling in containers, lorries, drive-in racking and other cramped, fast-paced environments, their behaviour rapidly adapts to changes in drivers’ wishes and needs. They are also built to stand up to harsh, wet, dirty or dusty conditions.

Typical applications:

• Food and beverage manufacturing and wholesale
• Fishing Industry
• Chemicals, textiles & rubber
• General & refrigerated warehousing and storage
• Machinery & heavy equipment
• Electric equipment & components

Thanks to the latest electronic controllers and sensors, software and multiple algorithms, driving and load handling are easier, steadier, safer and more comfortable than ever. Drivers feel the machine is totally in tune with them, so they are happy, confident and highly productive. Central to this driving experience is the Cat Responsive Drive System (RDS2). Monitoring and instantly reacting to changes in the speed of pedal movement, RDS2 constantly adjusts performance parameters so all actions are smoothly controlled – including starts and stops.

Another system continuously modifies steering response according to travel speed. When travelling fast, it avoids the need for constant correction by the driver. When manoeuvring slowly, turning becomes instant and effortless. Advanced curve control enables drivers to achieve the fastest safe cornering speed in any situation. It also resists truck tilting and counterbalance ‘snake-tailing’ after high-speed turns. Manoeuvrability is maximised by dual drive ‘4-wheel steering’. The truck can be driven sideways without having to push back first, thanks to a +100° rear turning axle. A 360° steering option allows trucks to turn and face the opposite direction (180°) without stopping.

A load-sensing hydraulic system automatically adjusts for weight to maintain precise control. When fingertip controls are used for two or more hydraulic functions simultaneously, electronic compensation keeps all mast movements consistent. Strong mast design and a low-friction side-shift combine with various control systems to reduce swaying, twisting and noise. An unusually wide scope for seat and steering column adjustment assures a perfect driving position for every user. Together with high-vision design, it gives clear forward, downward and side views without having to lean.
