Cat® NPV20N3D / NPF20N3D(R)(S) platform double pallet handlers

Overview

Overview

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).

Models

• NPV20N3D – folding platform with folding side bars, so the operator can work in ride-on or pedestrian mode; mechanical tiller as standard, power steering as an option.
• NPF20N3DR – fixed rear-entry platform with a solid safety barrier and power steering; the optional foot protection system slows or stops the truck if the operator’s foot is outside the platform.
• NPF20N3DS – fixed side-entry platform with arm-free, scooter-style Comfort Steering as standard.

Key features

• 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.
• On power-steered trucks, electronic steering adapts to speed and steering angle and cornering control slows the truck in turns; 10 km/h travel speed and 0.22 / 0.43 m/s lift speed.
• Standard battery discharge indicator (BDI), sealed connectors and a removable motor cover for easy servicing.

Options

• Li-ion battery with fast opportunity charging (selected regions only) or lead-acid battery; steel battery rollers and quick-release battery lock
• Power steering and tiller-up drive (NPV20N3D), Comfort Steering (NPF20N3DR)
