We now offer a massive choice , with 26 base models and a long list of optional features . Whatever the customer ’ s operation , circumstances and preferences , we can find the ideal fit .
Multiple variants
As well as standard N2 and N3 models , there are high-performance ( H ) variants for heavier loads and / or higher lifts . Extra-high lifting ( X ) models allow the highest lifts of all – up to 13 metres in one case . N2 standard , H and X trucks , featuring poweRamic masts , are the class leaders for residual capacity . Compact ( C ) models are adapted for use in drive-in racking .
Straddle ( S ) models are another variant to consider . They can retract pallets up to 1,000 mm wide between their load legs – without first having to lift them above load leg height . There ’ s no need
for a beam under the lowest pallet in the racking , as the truck can lift from floor level . In addition , this solution is useful when clearance between the top of the load and the lower edge of the beam above is limited . It also helps in situations where bagged materials bulge over the edges , making the load wider than a pallet .
For applications in which a reach truck is used for less than two hours per shift , light ( L ) models are a cost-effective option . They are designed for light and medium duties with lift heights up to 7.5 metres , depending on model and mast choice .
The Cat reach truck portfolio is completed by multidirectional ( M ) models . These are highly specialised for handling exceptionally long loads in narrow aisles . You can choose between the N3 four-way and N2 multi-way ranges . Four-way trucks move forwards , backwards and from side to side . They can also rotate on the spot . To those , the multi-way models add diagonal and other modes for the ultimate in versatile mobility .
