The new reach truck range from Cat Lift Trucks.

New Cat reach truck range
Almere, The Netherlands
Cat Lift Trucks has introduced its NR-N2 reach truck range, which it says was designed for "increased profitability by maximising performance, empowering operators and cutting costs".
Key to the reach truck's productivity is the Responsive Drive System (RDS). The system's advanced mast handling features speed up lifting and lowering, smooth out the starts and stops during reach movements and give accurate control of tilting and side-shifting.
RDS also includes new mast and reach technology, for high stability and minimal sway, and a choice of user-set performance modes or engineer-customised settings for different needs.
The maximum lift of the poweRamic mast is 13 m (43 ft.).

Upgrade to largest model telehandler

JCB has upgraded its largest model, the 540-200, with the adoption of an EU Stage IIIB/US EPA Tier 4 interim driveline.
The 540-200 is JCB's first telehandler to be equipped with a five-section telescopic boom. It is powered by JCB's Ecomax diesel engine, delivering 109hp (81kW), up from the previous machine's 100hp (74.5kW). The machine is also available with the option of a 125hp (93kW) version of the JCB Ecomax engine.
The machine, with a 20 m (66 ft.) lift height, will make its UK show debut at Vertikal Days 2014 on 14-15 May at Haydock Park, which is halfway between the cities of Liverpool and Manchester.
