Operator Comfort
Ergonomic Cabin
The forklifts clean and unobstructed workspace including the generous floor area, enhances the operator’s mobility and comfort, thus increasing operator efficiency.
Effortless Steering
Full hydrostatic steering with synchroniser keeps the forklift straight and enables fast, precise and safe manoeuvring. This allows for smoother driving for the operator which improves overall workflow.
Adjustable Steering
The steering column includes a 12-degree tilt range with infinite settings to maximise driving comfort for any operator. The instrumentation display also tilts with the column for better visibility. Furthermore, a memory position on the column allows for quick and easy opening of the engine hood.
Clear Visibility
The forklifts excellent all-direction visibility through its open cabin, clear view mast, and overhead guard makes lifting and driving stress-free for the operator.
Full Suspension Seat
A contoured suspension seat allows operators to adjust the weight, position and lumbar support to suit their optimal driving position. The back cushion provides even greater bolster support for the operator. The seat also features a hip restraint, seat belt and seat switch, which is part of the overall safety system – Presence Detection System (PDS).
Quiet & Smooth
Transmission noise and vibrations are effectively reduced on these forklifts using helical gears and a floating power train in the transmission. This helps isolate the engine and transmission from the forklift frame and operator compartment.
Acrylic Roof
The addition of an acrylic roof enhances operator comfort when working outdoors and provides shelter from the rain.
Powershift Transmission
The transmission is one speed forward, one speed reverse and includes a torque converter and inching control for smooth and easy driving.
Productivity & Performance
Powerful Diesel Engines
The 2.5 litre S4Q2 and 3.3 litre S4S diesel engines on the P-Series models are designed for industrial applications. Enhanced with eco-friendly upgrades, these engines deliver lower fuel consumption and emissions, while upholding horsepower and dependability. A reduction in engine noise and vibration also increases comfort for the operator.
Full Colour LCD Display
The digital display provides easy monitoring of the forklifts systems and controls at a glance. Here the operator can view speed and load weight, fuel levels and monitor any important alerts. The display also indicates service requirements, which can help prevent unexpected down time and cost due to unscheduled maintenance and service.
Two Power Settings
The Cat P-Series forklift provides the operator with two power settings to suit the application. This includes a Power mode, which priorities output and performance, and a SOFT mode, which prioritises fuel efficiency and reduces noise. The Soft mode can also help reduce carbon emissions by up to 13% compared to the Power mode.
LED Lights
Front LED lights provide very bright and directed light that allows safer operations in low light conditions.
Excellent Stability
The forklifts low centre of gravity provides excellent stability and smooth handling for the operator.
Safety
Presence Detection System (PDS)
Cat forklifts include the Presence Detection System (PDS) which is a safety feature that complies with the Australian Standard AS2359.The system prevents movement of the forklift if the operator has not followed a series of steps in sequential order including engaging the handbrake, sitting on the seat, switching on the ignition and then engaging the seatbelt. This process must be followed each time the forklift handbrake is engaged, or the ignition is switched off.
Wide Step & Large Hand Grip
A wide anti-slip step and large hand grip allows the operator to easily enter and exit the forklift safely.
Anti-Slip Surfaces
A wide anti-slip step and textured floor mat reduces the risk of operators slipping when entering and exiting the forklift. This added safety helps operators when working outdoors especially in dirty or wet site conditions.
Double Action Parking Brake
To release the brake, operators must push the button while moving the handle forward. This double action improves safety as the brake cannot be accidentally released while exiting the forklift. Simply pulling back the on the handle quickly and easily engages the brake.
Well Designed Head Guards
The overhead guards clear design improves safety by providing good upward visibility for the operator. This is ideal in warehouses by allowing operators to effortlessly place and retrieve loads at higher stacking heights.
Rear Horn
A rear hand grab with horn is conveniently positioned on the back overheard guard. This allows operators to easily alert pedestrians and other operators when driving in reverse.
Speed Limiter
The forklifts speed limit can be adjusted to suit a business’s site requirement. This helps increase safety in high traffic work environments and helps protect damage to property and equipment through collisions.
Elevated Rear Lighting
The rear combination lights are included within the protective head guard. This provides clear signalling to vehicles and pedestrians trailing behind.
Gentle Descent System
The innovative gentle descent system included on diesel models with two stage masts, automatically activates as the as the tynes approach the ground. This safety feature protects the loads by preventing sudden drops or impacts.
Blue Safety Light (Optional)
Blue safety lights can be installed as an effective safety solution with any business. These lights can be mounted at the front and rear of the forklift to effectively warn pedestrians and other vehicles of an approaching forklift. These lights are great for managing blind spots and when operating within aisles.
Pedestrian Detection Systems (Optional)
To minimise forklift and pedestrian contact with a workplace, the SEEN pedestrian detection system can be easily retrofitted to forklifts for instant protection. This cost-effective safety solution effectively warns both pedestrians and operators when in proximity and thereby reduces the risk of accidental collisions. Learn more about the SEEN presence detection system.
Servicing & Maintenance
Vehicle Control Module
The forklifts vehicle control module effectively manages operator and truck functions which allows easy troubleshooting and problem pin pointing.
Better Design Improvements
Several design improvements like direct mounted cooling fan, direct mounted hydraulic pump, under covered and increased service intervals for standard lower operational costs.
Hydrostatic Steering
Full hydrostatic steering provides exceptional control and manoeuvrability for the operator. This steering is achieved through hydraulic oil flow which minimises the amount of mechanical linkage and lubrication points. Thereby ensuring low maintenance and servicing while creating smooth effortless steering.
Easy Accessibility to Engine
No specialty tools are required to remove the floor plate and side covers. This provides quick access to the engine compartment and transmission for easy maintenance and servicing.
Brakes
Non-boosted braking system reduces the number of brake components to service. This helps reduce maintenance costs while maintaining effective braking with low effort.
Prolonging Equipment Life
Advanced on-board diagnostic system allows critical forklift functions to be controlled and monitored. This allows the forklift to be operate at peak performance and reduces the risk of costly breakdowns.
Forklift attachments
There is just about any attachment available to suit a lifting application. Attachments like side shift and fork positioners can also be installed to improve operator workflow and performance. Let us help you choose an attachment to suit your lift application and requirements.
