Overview
Overview
The Cat® DP40-55(C)N3 is the heavy-duty diesel range: five models from 4,000 to 5,500 kg. The DP40N3, DP45N3 and DP50CN3 are rated at a 500 mm load centre, the DP50N3 and DP55N3 at 600 mm. Built for demanding work, they are a natural choice for ports, construction, freight handling, metal works and brickyards, and keep going even at full capacity. The compact DP50CN3 lifts 5 tonnes on the 2,000 mm wheelbase chassis of the DP45N3, making it shorter and more manoeuvrable than the DP50N3.
Key features
- Common-rail Stage V engine: the electronically controlled four-cylinder 3.3-litre D04EG-T produces 54 kW and 260 Nm. Every cylinder works efficiently regardless of load and engine speed, which keeps noise, vibration, emissions and fuel consumption low.
- Two-speed drive: a fully floating powertrain with two forward speeds and one reverse gives strong gradeability (DP40N3: 27.3% laden) and a top speed of 21.5 km/h, with smooth, quiet shifts.
- Mast to suit: simplex, duplex and triplex masts up to 7,000 mm lift height (DP50N3 and DP55N3: 6,000 mm).
- Reliable cooling and air intake: a pusher-type radiator resists clogging, and the specially positioned air intake extends filter cartridge life.
- Safety: PDS+ disables drive and hydraulics when the seat is vacated; ground speed control limits top speed. Hydraulic drum brakes and a push-button electronic parking brake.
- Operator area: hydrostatic steering, adjustable steering column, Grammer seat with back cushion and seat-mounted hydraulic controls. The multifunction LCD display shows soot level and all safety functions, and the hour meter helps plan maintenance.
Options
- Factory-fitted panel cab, Deluxe cab
- Dust-proof kit and strainer, pre-cleaner air intake, raised exhaust, spark arrestor
- Hydraulic oil cooler, torque converter line filter, rear axle under guard
- 3- and 4-spool valves (MC or FC), sideshifter on 1,190 or 1,500 mm carriage
- Oil-immersed wet disc brakes, Pro-Shift drivetrain protection
- Superelastic and dual tyres, lifting eyes on the counterweight
