Comfort means productivity

FULL-FLOATING OPERATOR COMPARTMENT
This resiliently mounted operator compartment is very comfortable and less fatiguing for the operator because of the rubber mounts that absorb shocks and dampen vibration from the engine and transmission before it reaches the operator.

COMFORTABLE SEAT
Operators of all size can adjust the vinyl covered, low-back suspension seat over 100mm horizontally, for maximum comfort. The value of this seat is comfort and we know that a more comfortable operator is a more productive operator.

OVERSIZED FOOT PEDALS
Large accelerator, brake and inching pedals, which are positioned for maximum comfort, are "through the floor" mounted to allow operators to rest their heels on the floor and optimise operator leg and foot position. This makes the operator feel more comfortable.

AT-A-GLANCE MONITORING
A conveniently located and angled non-glare instrument panel provides easy to read information.

HIGH VISILIBITY MASTS
Simplex masts tilt 15° forward and 12° back. With widely spaced channels and twin lift cylinders positioned behind the uprights, these sturdy masts allow for good visibility as well as for fast lift and lowering speeds.

COMFORT, CONVENIENCE AND PRODUCTIVITY

Cowl-mounted control levers
The hydraulic control levers are located on the cowl, level with the steering wheel. This positioning allows effortless movement between the steering wheel and the levers, thus reducing operator fatigue.

Steering wheel
This hydrostatic power steering system with low steering effort is easy to operate and offers positive, lock-to-lock control of the comfortable, compact, 33cm steering wheel.

Easy-to-enter compartment
A large, conveniently positioned grab handle is positioned on the overhead guard support. Non-skid, full width steps are located just a short distance from the ground. And a spacious floorboard means more leg room and greater access to the operator's compartment.

Adjustable parking brake
This parking brake is a short throw, toggle type mechanism that makes it very easy to mechanically set and hold the forklift securely in place, and is easy adjusted. It features a separate shoe assembly on the input side of the drive axle, which enhances its dependability.

Easy-to-use control systems
Caterpillar control systems are ergonomically designed so operators can control lift truck function with complete confidence and ease. The short-throw type transmission lever is just to the left of the steering wheel. The automatic transmission switch allows the operator to choose the optimum speed and torque characteristics to meet application needs.
