NPV20N3D · NPF20N3DR · NPF20N3DS
Cat® NPV20N3D / NPF20N3D(R)(S)
Platform double pallet handlers that carry two pallets at once – one on the straddle legs, one on the forks – halving the number of trips in lorry loading, cross-docking and internal transport.
The NPV20N3D and NPF20N3D(R)(S) combine the strengths of a platform power pallet truck with a lifting mast: one pallet rides on the straddle legs and a second is carried above it on the forks. Double stacking halves the number of movements in intensive lorry loading of double-stacked goods, in cross-docking and in internal transport over any distance. As the pallets sit one above the other, truck and load get no longer or wider, so the truck stays agile in tight spaces. The mast lifts to 1,700 or 2,000 mm, and initial lift of the straddle legs gives clearance under the load on steep ramps and loading docks. All three models carry 2,000 kg (1,000 + 1,000 kg with two pallets).
- ProRide+ chassis that delivers traction, damping and stability at the same time: hydraulic friction force presses the drive wheel down to prevent wheelspin and optimise braking, and patented castor wheels lock during turns.
- IP65-sealed emPower tiller head with enlarged buttons and dual throttle wheels that work accurately in gloves.
- Comfortably damped platforms; fixed platform versions can have a unique electrically adjustable damping system set at the touch of a button.
- Overhead guard against falling goods, standard on fixed platform models with the higher-lifting mast.

NPV20Q2L
Cat® NPV20Q2L
A 2 tonne power pallet truck with a folding platform: walk with it in tight spaces, ride on it over longer distances.
The NPV20Q2L is the platform power pallet truck of the Cat® EQ Line, the lithium-ion powered entry-level family for light and medium duties: a 2 tonne power pallet truck with a folding ride-on platform. The operator walks with the truck in tight spaces and over short runs, and steps onto the platform for longer distances to travel faster with less fatigue.
- Electric power steering (EPS) for precise, almost effortless manoeuvring.
- Fold-down protective side bars to guard against falls and impacts when riding.
- Short, spring-loaded ergonomic tiller arm with multifunction head; creep-speed button for slow manoeuvring with the tiller upright.
- Adjustable pull-rod lifting system with high resistance to bending and deformation, short and strong steel chassis, regenerative braking.

Cat® NPV20-25N3 / NPF20-25N3(R)(S)
Platform power pallet trucks for 2.0 to 2.5 tonne loads, with folding or fixed platforms: built for intensive loading and unloading, short shuttles and longer internal transport runs.
The NPV/NPF platform power pallet trucks answer the challenges of intensive loading and unloading, short shuttles and longer internal transport, and some versions are also well suited to order picking. Choose 2.0 or 2.5 tonne capacity, three chassis lengths (Mini, Junior, Senior) and Li-ion or lead-acid power. It includes the market’s shortest heavy-duty pallet trucks, and forks that rise to 220 mm give the clearance needed on steep ramps and loading docks.
- ProRide+ system: a floating drive unit uses extra force from the hydraulics to press the drive wheel down for traction, while variable-damping castors that lock in turns keep the truck stable on slippery, wet or uneven floors.
- IP65-sealed emPower tiller head with the market’s shortest distance between hand and lift/lower buttons, a throttle wheel with seven finger positions and dual controls that work accurately with gloves.
- Three steering types: short-arm power steering with hydraulic damper (folding and rear-entry models), arm-free scooter-style Comfort Steering (fixed platform models) and long-arm mechanical steering (standard on NPV models). Power-steered trucks add speed-sensitive steering and automatic cornering control.
- Platform damping that acts progressively with operator weight to protect the knees; cast-iron platform, compact heavy-duty chassis and integrated bumper.

NPR20N2 · NPR30N2
Cat® NPR20-30N2
Stand-in power pallet trucks for 2.0 to 3.0 tonne loads, built for fast internal transport over long distances, short shuttle runs and cross-docking.
NPR20-30N2 stand-in power pallet trucks are built for fast internal transport of heavy and long loads – over large distances, on short shuttle runs and everything in between. They meet the demands of production, warehouse and cross-dock operations, including multi-shift use. Compared with a platform power pallet truck they are more compact and easier to manoeuvre, and there are no stops to fold and unfold a platform. They also need less aisle width (2,381 mm with a 1000×1200 mm pallet crosswise), so the space you gain can be used for more stock.
- Enclosed operator position protected all round by a heavy-duty chassis and integrated bumper; low step-in height, fully floating floor, excellent vibration damping, cushioned backrest and plenty of room.
- Optical presence sensor lets the operator make small foot movements without accidentally triggering automatic braking.
- Fully adjustable steering wheel for different driving positions depending on travel direction; adjustable armrest with thumbwheel throttle and fingertip hydraulic levers for simultaneous drive and lift functions.
- Advanced AC drive and progressive electric power steering that adapts to speed and steering angle; automatic cornering control reduces top speed according to steering angle.

NPS20N2 · NPS30N2
Cat® NPS20-30N2
Sit-on power pallet trucks for 2.0 to 3.0 tonne loads: fast, comfortable machines for intensive indoor transport through long, demanding shifts.
NPS20-30N2 sit-on power pallet trucks are fast, powerful machines for intensive internal transport: they move heavy and long loads rapidly over large distances, yet stay compact and manoeuvrable in tight spaces. They are at work in production plants, distribution centres, warehouses, cross-docking areas and multi-shift operations. Compared with platform power pallet trucks they need less aisle width, so aisles can be narrowed to free up storage space, and there is no stopping to fold platforms or side bars. The operator sits within the protection of the robust chassis, which gives the confidence to travel through the aisles more quickly.
- Quiet, low-vibration operator compartment with easy entry and exit, an unobstructed floor, an adjustable suspension seat and room for drivers of all sizes.
- Adjustable mini steering wheel on a floating armrest for a relaxed posture, reducing neck and back strain and the risk of repetitive strain injury (RSI); it folds up for easy entry and exit.
- Progressive electric power steering with automatic, speed-dependent sensitivity; as the steering angle increases, automatic cornering control lowers the maximum speed for quick but stable turns.
- Advanced AC drive with a top speed of 10 km/h (NPS30N2: 9 km/h), a height-adjustable armrest with fingertip hydraulic levers, and hands-free direction control as standard.
