The innovative Cat® lift truck model family features an advanced hydrostatic engine and technology system designed to boost productivity and provide intuitive control when handling heavy-duty materials

Mitsubishi Logisnext Americas group, the exclusive manufacturer and provider of Cat® lift trucks across North, Central, and South America, has announced the launch of its Cat 3,000 – 7,000 lb. hydrostatic internal combustion (IC) forklift series. The innovative model line features a field-proven, EPA emissions-compliant engine and hydrostatic drive system designed to help customers optimize their productivity, provide intuitive control in heavy-duty applications, and reinforce operator comfort and safety.

The new Cat lift truck series is designed for a wide variety of industries and heavy-duty applications, such as building materials, lumber and manufacturing.
