What is it for?
When to choose an LPG forklift?
An LPG truck gives you engine power with cleaner combustion: it can work in well-ventilated halls and outdoors, and a cylinder swap takes moments, so the truck keeps running.
- Mixed indoor and outdoor work
- 1.5–5.5 t capacity
- Quick cylinder change, no charging breaks

Cat® GP15-35(C)P
Compact LPG counterbalance trucks with catalysed engines and 1.5 to 3.5 tonnes capacity for loading and stacking indoors and out.
The Cat® GP15-35(C)P is the new range of compact LPG counterbalance trucks: seven models rated from 1,500 to 3,500 kg at a 500 mm load centre. With a clean-running gas engine and three-way catalytic converter, they are equally at home indoors and outdoors for loading, transport and stacking. Three frame sizes, several mast options and two engine sizes let you match the truck to the job. The GP20CP stands out: it lifts 2 tonnes on the 1,400 mm wheelbase chassis of the smallest models and turns in a 3,635 mm aisle. The series replaces the GP15-35N.
- Two LPG engines: GP15P–GP25P use the 2.1-litre Econtrols EK21 (39 kW, 152 Nm); GP30P and GP35P have the 2.5-litre EK25 (44 kW, 185 Nm). Electronic engine management and a three-way catalytic converter keep noise and emissions low and gas consumption efficient.
- Quick on the job: laden travel speeds of 18–19 km/h and lift speeds of up to 0.64 m/s on the lighter models.
- Stable design: a fully floating powertrain keeps the centre of gravity low, while the six-bearing carriage and powerful hydraulics give high residual capacities; masts go up to 7,000 mm (GP20CP: 5,000 mm).
- Protected engine: a double-element air filter and full belly guard are fitted as standard.

Cat® GP40-55(C)N3
Heavy-duty LPG trucks with a catalysed six-cylinder engine for 4 to 5.5 tonne loads, outdoors and indoors.
The Cat® GP40-55(C)N3 is the heavy-duty LPG range: five models with capacities from 4,000 to 5,500 kg. GP40N3, GP45N3 and GP50CN3 are rated at a 500 mm load centre, GP50N3 and GP55N3 at 600 mm. Thanks to the catalysed gas engine, these trucks are at home not only in ports, construction, freight handling and metal and brick yards, but indoors too. The shorter GP50CN3 handles 5 tonnes on the GP45N3 chassis.
- Six-cylinder LPG engine: the 4.45-litre GCT GK45 delivers 54 kW and 279 Nm from just 1,600 rpm. It comes with a catalytic converter as standard and is economical, quiet and low in vibration.
- Faster cycles: laden, the GP40N3 travels at 23 km/h and lifts at 0.67 m/s, with a rated drawbar pull of 28,700 N.
- Fully floating powertrain: two forward speeds and one reverse, strong gradeability and smooth, accurate shifts.
- Wide mast choice: simplex, duplex and triplex masts up to 7,000 mm (GP50N3 and GP55N3: 6,000 mm).
