maintenance requirements.

Efficient, Compact Design

The compact dimensions enhance the operators ability to
enter and exit more confined areas. A low, wide stance and
wide drive axle design improve lateral stability in rough
conditions and at high lift heights.

Added Operator Protection

The advanced Cat Lift Trucks operator Presence Detection
System (PDS) keeps your operator informed. When your
operator leaves the normal seated operating position, the
following occurs:
Transmission is disengaged
Power disconnects from hydraulic lift and tilt functions
Parking brake alarm sounds if the operator has not
applied the parking brake

Optional Low-Vibration Cabs

Operators experience all-around good visibility as well as
low vibration and noise with these optional cabs, designed

Full-floating axle shafts and a gear-type planetary final drive,
supported by tapered roller bearings, minimize stress common
in rough terrain applications. Final torque multiplication occurs
at the wheels instead of the differential, so torque stress
on the shafts, differential and drive axle is reduced, thereby
increasing axle life.
