Cat has launched its latest range of lift trucks designed specifically for enhanced productivity, durability, comfort and safety.

The updated diesel and petrol-powered range, DP/GP IC, has a number of new features, such as the analogue display has been replaced by a digital version with additional functions and an engine timer keeps track of hours worked.

Gear wheels are used on the new engine instead of a cam-belt and a new design of bush-mounted rear axle is said to improve service life.

Furthermore, a seat switch blocks the truck’s hydraulic functions and prevents the truck from driving if the operator is not correctly seated.

The truck lifts are available in capacities of 1.5, 1.8, 2.0, 2.5, 3.0 and 3.5 tons. There is also a compact variant of the 2.0 version for applications where space is particularly tight.
