To aid lift truck choice, the Cat® Lift Trucks website now features a new Industry Solutions section.
For specific sectors, the Industry Solutions section identifies key materials handling challenges and lift truck demands. In each case, it highlights design, engineering and technology advances developed to meet them. Examples are given from the comprehensive range of Cat counterbalance and warehouse trucks.
The latest topic covered is food and beverage. This is one of many sectors in which Cat Lift Trucks and its dealers have long experience. Others include:
Along with advice on matching trucks to applications, the guidance emphasises services and support.
There is also information on power sources – a fundamental issue on which forklift buyers need to make decisions. The website clearly compares and contrasts today’s most common choices: lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery electric, lead-acid battery electric and IC engine (diesel or LPG). The right choice for each business depends on its applications and priorities, as the guide explains. Its advice is unbiased, as the Cat product range covers all of these power sources.
The big trend in materials handling today is, of course, toward electrification. With this in mind, an additional page sets out the advantages of electric forklifts in more detail.
Further details of the complete range of Cat forklifts, warehouse equipment and related services can be found at www.catlifttruck.com. See them in action via https://www.catlifttruck.com/videos and follow the news on LinkedIn, Facebook and Twitter.
