The History of Caterpillar
When Benjamin Holt and Daniel Best founded Caterpillar in 1890, they envisioned an equipment supplier that would promote both workplace productivity and safety. True to their promises, Caterpillar forklifts have become one of the most recognizable brands among all competing forklifts in the market. Today, Caterpillar is not only involved in developing efficient and energy-saving forklifts, but also in manufacturing over 300 types of machines. Some of the products include compact rack, multi-terrain loaders, forwarders, harvesters, hydraulic excavators, and skidders. Needless to say, the variety of machinery produced by Caterpillar makes the company a prominent figure in the market of agricultural and construction machinery. Located in Houston TX, the Caterpillar headquarters contains more than 600,000 square feet of manufacturing space and is ISO 9001:2008 and ISO 14001:2004 certified.
Here are some of the trending Cat Lift Trucks in the market:
› Diesel Powered Forklift Truck
Considered as one of the toughest workhorses in the material handling world, Cat Lift Trucks are made to operate in wet and dirty environments. Diesel powered forklift trucks are easy to maintain and have a wide range of lift capacities.
• DP15-35N
• DP40-55N
• DP60-70
• DP80-160N
› LP Gas Powered Forklift Trucks
The easy-to-use features and optional extras allow operators to maximize their forklifts’ productivity. The fact that these forklifts run on liquefied petroleum (LP) gas makes them a convenient choice for remote work. All operators have to do is to prepare spare gas bottles and the forklift can work in lengthy and consecutive shifts.

With a versatile configuration and an easily programmable operation system, electric powered forklift trucks can be used both internally and externally. Quiet as a mouse, these electric forklifts, especially the 3-wheel trucks such as the CAT EP10-15KRT PAC and EP16-20(C)PNT, can easily maneuver around warehouses. Their maximum lift height of 5-6m also makes them an ideal workhorse for most aisle racking operations.

• EP13-20(C)PN(T)
• EP16-20(C)PN
• EP20-35K PAC

Sustainable Development
If you are a customer who wants to reduce your energy expenditure and live more sustainably, you will find doing business with Caterpillar even more attractive. As a forerunner in the effort of sustainability, Caterpillar is dedicated to eliminate waste and inefficiencies by remanufacturing over 170 million pounds of their products. Starting in 2006, the manufacturing operations in Caterpillar have reportedly been successful in reducing their energy intensity by 25% and their greenhouse gas intensity by 35%. According to Caterpillar.com, the company is making progress in finding new ways to “reduce, reuse, recycle, and reclaim materials which once would have gone to a landfill.”
