Cat® Lift Trucks has redefined the standard for platform power pallet trucks with a brand new model designed for medium to long distances that combines industry-leading performance with the very highest safety features and the lowest possible operating costs.

The NPV20N2 is equipped with a fold-down operator platform and folding sidebars, making it the ideal all-rounder for carrying loads and drivers between 20 and 50 metres and for vehicle loading or unloading. With the platform and sidebars folded away, however, it is just as well suited to pedestrian operation, for example in areas where space is restricted.

Sturdy chassis construction and endurance-tested forks provide enhanced robustness and reliability in even the toughest environments, reducing maintenance requirements and downtime. The truck's sealed chassis and waterproof electrics help resist moisture, dirt and corrosion.

With a lift capacity of 2.0 tonnes, the new model incorporates the very latest AC drive technology, giving precise drive control with excellent traction and acceleration. It also features an 'eco' mode that reduces travel speed to ensure the smoothest possible handling and lower energy consumption.

Linked suspension castors provide maximum load and truck stability on any surface and the new model also features high platform and fork ground clearance, reducing the risk of impact on inclines or uneven surfaces.

The integrated drive and lift system has fewer components than previous models, reducing the scope for breakdowns, while a fully enclosed compartment with steel cover protects the battery from impact, avoiding the need for costly and unnecessary battery replacement.

A low step height means mounting and dismounting are almost effortless, while the ergonomically designed tiller arm makes truck control straightforward, helping to keep operators fresh and focused at all times. The operator platform has been designed to stay down when unfolded, saving time when drivers comes to remount, and optional large lift and lower levers can be fitted to permit one-handed control, even when gloves are worn.

The new NPV20N2 features a substantially narrower body than older models, making it one of the most manoeuvrable platform power pallet trucks on the market. Its manoeuvrability can be further increased if circumstances demand by driving with the tiller arm in the vertical position in ultra-low speed 'tortoise' mode, allowing the truck to work in the very tightest of spaces.

Easy access to critical truck components allows for fast fault diagnosis and speedy maintenance, squeezing downtime to a minimum. The replacement of the U-shaped battery on previous models with a standard battery, meanwhile, allows interchangeability with other brands.

The new NPV20N2 is complemented by the existing NPV20ND, which can handle two pallets at once, and the NPV25NH, a more muscular 2.5 tonnes capacity model with a heavier duty battery for larger loads and even more intensive work.

The NPV range of power pallet trucks are just part of a wide array of top quality materials handling solutions offered by Cat Lift Trucks via an extensive worldwide network of dealers. The range comprises electric, LPG and diesel-powered counterbalanced trucks and a host of warehouse handling solutions including pedestrian and ride-on power pallet trucks, stackers, low and high level order pickers, standard and four-way reach trucks, turret trucks and tow trucks.
