The motto of the new DP70N diesel CAT forklift is power and stability, delivered in an environmentally friendly, fuel-efficient way. It was designed to reduce maintenance costs while increasing performance.
The designers concluded that the Perkins 4-cylinder 854E engine was the best fit for this purpose, because alongside its impressive output it comfortably meets the strict Euro IIIB emission standards.
A key innovation was the introduction of a compact turbocharger, which increases output while consuming 18% less fuel than previous engines.
The latest diesel particulate filter (DPF) technology was also introduced, enabling passive regeneration. The ceramic filter requires no maintenance.
The Engine Protection System (EPS) continuously monitors oil pressure and coolant temperature. If it detects a fault, it limits engine and hydraulic performance, thereby extending the life of the engine.
The DP70N has a strong steel frame. Its low centre of gravity provides greater stability and an impressive capacity. Every component is extremely robust, so damage is very rare, which helps to keep maintenance costs to a minimum.
