New Electric Lift Trucks Roll Into View



HOUSTON (February 15, 2002) - Cat(R) Lift Trucks defines adaptability with its introduction of the new versatile 3,000 - 6,000 lb. cushion tire electric lift truck models. This family of lift trucks includes models EC15K - EC30K and each lift
truck offers performance boosting choices you need without the budget restraints you don't.

"With this new family of lift trucks, customers can get the performance they need with the cost of ownership they want - helping their operators to be more productive and their operation more profitable," stated Stacy Haines, Cat Lift
Trucks project manager.

This entire family of lift trucks can be tailored for the customers specific needs in their facility. Numerous optional features are available. Once the customer has evaluated the specific application needs, Cat Lift Trucks stands ready to build a lift truck that is uniquely theirs.

Features found on the EC15K - EC30K models include, but are not limited to, an energy-efficient hydraulic system with a revolutionary valve as well as a transistorized drive controller featuring proportional regenerative braking and an available interactive LCD display.

The advanced hydraulic system features a revolutionary valve that is custom-tailored to meet most electric lift truck operating requirements. This high efficiency control valve also helps to improve the battery shift life. Unlike typical valves, this one features flow control and an inlet compensator to return unused hydraulic fluid to the tank at lower pressure.

Regenerative braking, also referred to as electric braking, comes standard in this family of lift trucks. As an added feature, regenerative braking is automatically engaged when the accelerator pedal is released. This type of braking is an important way to help reduce maintenance and increase operating efficiency.

Lastly, an informative LCD (optional feature) not only shows battery state of charge, error codes and truck status, it can also be used to change lift truck performance to match the application. The display can also report the time and date of a control system fault.

The new versatile 3,000 lb. - 6,000 lb. capacity cushion tire electric lift trucks brochure is now available.

From the manufacturing and distribution headquarters in Houston, Texas, Cat Lift Trucks offers a full line of lift trucks with models ranging from 2,200 - 33,000 lbs. capacity. By putting customer needs first and having the most comprehensive customer support programs in the industry, Cat Lift Trucks and its dealers
