About Cat Lift Trucks
Cat® Lift Trucks are globally recognised for building durable, high-performance material handling equipment designed to operate reliably in demanding environments.
For businesses running high-load, outdoor, or continuous operations, Cat forklifts are a practical, low-risk choice where strength, uptime, and control matter.
Built for real-world operating conditions
Cat equipment is built to perform in more variable conditions, including outdoor yards, uneven surfaces, and high-intensity applications.
In practice, this translates to equipment that holds up under pressure, maintains performance over time, and requires less reactive maintenance in demanding environments.Engine performance you can rely on
Cat LPG and diesel forklifts are powered by proven industrial engines designed to deliver consistent torque, smooth acceleration, and reliable output across long shifts.
LPG models provide a balance of performance and lower emissions, making them suitable for mixed indoor and outdoor use. Diesel models offer higher torque and are better suited to heavy-duty lifting and outdoor applications where power and traction are critical.Operator-focused control systems
Cat forklifts are designed to give operators a high level of control, particularly in environments where precision and responsiveness matter.
Features such as responsive hydraulic systems, hydrostatic steering, and stable transmission performance allow for smoother load handling and more predictable operation.
Cabin layouts are built around visibility and ease of use, with clear sightlines, intuitive controls, and ergonomic seating helping reduce fatigue across long shifts.Safety systems that support everyday operation
Features such as Presence Detection Systems (PDS), automatic lift lock, and programmable performance settings help reduce the risk of unsafe operation while maintaining productivity.
These systems are designed to work in the background, supporting safer handling without interrupting workflow.

Operating Type
Counterbalance (sit-down)Cat LPG forklifts are designed to deliver a balance of performance, flexibility, and lower emissions across a wide range of material handling applications. They offer the versatility to operate both indoors and outdoors, making them a practical choice for warehouses, logistics, and mixed-use sites.
Unlike electric, LPG forklifts don’t require downtime for charging. Instead, gas cylinders can be swapped quickly, allowing continuous operation across long shifts. At the same time, they provide cleaner and quieter operation compared to diesel, without sacrificing performance.
Flexible indoor + outdoor operation
LPG forklifts are suited to both warehouse environments and external yard work, offering a “best of both worlds” alternative to electric and diesel.Clean, high-performance LPG engines
Modern LPG engines deliver strong torque and consistent output, with lower emissions and quieter operation compared to diesel alternatives.Quick refuelling for continuous operation
Gas cylinders can be swapped in minutes, allowing forklifts to operate across extended shifts without downtime.Configurable to suit application
Multiple frame types, mast options, and engine sizes allow businesses to tailor the forklift to specific operational needs.Durable construction with low running costs
Cat LPG forklifts are built for long service intervals, with robust chassis design and systems that support lower maintenance and operating costs over time.Operator-focused design
Ergonomic cabins, intuitive controls, and smooth handling systems help reduce fatigue and improve day-to-day usability in fast-paced environments.
New & Used CAT Diesel Forklifts
Load Capacity
1,500kg – 16,000kg+ across the Cat diesel rangeModel Variants
- DP15–35N series (standard capacity)
- DP40–55N series (mid-range heavy duty)
- DP60–160N series (high-capacity models)
Configurations
- Pneumatic tyre options for outdoor traction
- High-capacity and heavy-duty configurations
- Wide range of mast heights and attachments
Operating Type
Counterbalance (sit-down)Cat diesel forklifts are built for high-capacity lifting and demanding outdoor environments where power, durability, and reliability are critical. Designed for construction, freight, and heavy industrial use, they deliver strong torque and consistent performance under load.
Where LPG offers flexibility, diesel models are purpose-built for tougher conditions, making them the preferred choice for outdoor applications, uneven terrain, and higher-capacity lifting tasks.
With capacities up to 2000 kg and robust construction, the Royal Electric Stacker improves productivity while reducing operator effort and downtime.
High torque diesel engine performance
Diesel engines deliver strong pulling power and consistent output, making them ideal for heavy loads and demanding operating conditions.Built for rugged environments
Reinforced chassis, protective components, and durable construction allow Cat diesel forklifts to perform reliably on uneven terrain, outdoor yards, and industrial sites.Efficient fuel consumption and emissions control
Modern diesel engines incorporate advanced technology to balance performance with fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.Advanced control and diagnostics systems
Integrated vehicle control modules and onboard displays provide real-time data, simplify troubleshooting, and help prevent unexpected downtime.Stable handling under load
Design features such as a low centre of gravity and robust powertrain improve stability, particularly when lifting at height or handling heavier loads.Operator safety and comfort
Features such as Presence Detection Systems, ergonomic seating, and intuitive controls support safer and more efficient operation across long shifts.
