HEAVY-DUTY MASTS
These durable masts retain load capacities to 5510mm for better load control and enhanced productivity. The high strength steel construction can withstand punishing stresses. The large, sealed mast rollers are designed to absorb longitudinal forces, while four side-thrust rollers absorb lateral loading during off centre loading. All masts are trunnion mounted to the axle housing, held in position by mast support caps and rest on greaseable bearings.

HIGH-TORQUE ENGINES
These rugged lift trucks are powered by direct-injection, diesel engines. They deliver high torque at low speeds, low noise and excellent fuel economy. The deep-skirted cylinder blocks and in-line plunger type fuel injection pumps help minimise downtime while increasing engine life.

AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION
Two-speed transmissions offer automatic gear selection, precision inching and high-stall torque converters, which will suit most challenging applications. All models feature two speed automatic transmissions. These enhance productivity by allowing operators to manually lock them into lower selections, to ensure torque is kept at a maximum.

DRIVE AXLE
The wide-stance drive axle improves lateral stability in rough terrain or at high lift heights, which makes moving even large, bulky loads easier for operators.

From the transmission output shaft, power is transferred to a single-reduction differential. The drive axle design features large capacity, tapered roller bearings, as well as planetary-outboard, final gear reduction and full floating axle shafts.

HYDROSTATIC STEER AXLE
These Cat fork lifts feature full hydrostatic power steering to reduce operator effort. The double ended steer cylinder is designed for maximum durability. The spherical steer bearings are self aligning. Tapered roller bearings are employed at the king pins, while sealed tapered roller bearings are used at the mounting of the steer wheels to the spindles. The trunnion mounted axle provides good ride characteristics with 6° of total articulation.
