This range of electric counterbalance forklifts answers the need for high-powered performance in applications where diesel powered IC engine lift trucks and their emissions are not permissible.

Designed to cope with intensive duties and tough conditions, you will find these electric counterbalance forklifts highly productive and, at the same time, a pleasure to drive, thanks to their agility, intelligence and comfort.

Typical industry applications:

• Food and beverage manufacturing and wholesale
• Paper manufacturing and wholesale
• Foundries
• Chemicals, textiles and rubber
• Machinery and heavy equipment

The specification of the Cat EP25-35A(C)N electric counterbalance forklift truck range includes many innovative features designed to give your drivers a more comfortable and pleasurable operating experience. They include the Cat Responsive Drive System (RDS), which has taken the idea of intelligent automatic adjustment of performance characteristics to a whole new level. This electric lift truck seems to ‘know’ how the driver wants it to behave at any moment. Meanwhile, its intelligent curve control reduces speed in a much more natural and comfortable way than any previous cornering technology.

Another key advantage of this electric counterbalance truck over the competition’s materials handling equipment is the OmniTurn all-wheel steering system, which makes it much more manoeuvrable. If the driver needs an extra burst of acceleration or climbing torque, the lift truck’s PowerBurst feature automatically kicks in to maintain rapid motion. When driving in slippery environments, its electric differential locking gives added confidence.

The latest fingertip hydraulic controls or optional dual joysticks are built into an anatomically designed, adjustable armrest which brings all related functions within comfortable reach. Manual levers are also available as an option. Control is precise and effortless. This electric counterbalance truck range is also equipped with SmoothFlow and other advanced hydraulic technologies which optimise mast and fork movements according to load weights and lift heights. The result is smoother, faster and safer materials handling.

Drivers, co-workers and neighbours will all appreciate the quiet drive units and other low-noise technologies specified in these electric lift trucks.

The spacious, high-comfort, floating operator cabin, developed with your drivers in mind, is ergonomically designed and equipped to allow strain-free operation with minimal need for body movement. Its key features include a flat, unobstructed floor, adjustable seat and steering wheel, pedals at optimum angles and, to maximise the view, a specially inclined dashboard and counterweight.

In addition, a colour display which can be read easily from different angles helps to keep your operator fully informed. Clear messages are given in the operator’s language, along with helpful symbols. A twin-mode key switch can be set to ECO or PRO, depending on the driver’s experience and the need for low energy use or rapid performance. Other TCO (total cost of operation) advantages of these electric counterbalance forklifts include their robust construction, simple diagnostics, easy maintenance and high energy efficiency.
