CATERPILLAR Lifts Dismantled Machines

About Caterpillar

Caterpillar needs little introduction in the industry. When most people think of Cat-branded equipment, however, they often think of massive dozers and excavators, and with good reason. But the company has been manufacturing lift trucks for more than half a century.

Caterpillar TH357D Telehandler

Cat entered the forklift truck business in 1965 when it acquired Lester M. Sears’ Towmotor Corporation. Sears had invented the Model L forklift truck in 1933, adapting a farm tractor to do so. Cat Lift Trucks joined with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in 1992 in a joint venture: Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America, Inc., of Houston, Texas.

Today, Cat has more than 80 years invested in the material handling industry, and it shows in the range of products it offers.

Forklifts & Telehandlers

Cat’s counterbalance forklifts range from outdoor rough-terrain forklifts and pneumatic-tire bruisers able to lift 18 tons (16.3 metric tons), such as the Cat DP160N2, down to quiet, zero-emissions, cushion-tire trucks scooting around the warehouse floor. The company makes both three- and four-wheel forks. Power plants include diesel, LPG, gasoline, and electric to suit various needs.

Warehouse Equipment
