Overview

Overview

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.

Key features

  • 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).
  • Dependability: clog-resistant pusher-type radiator, specially positioned air intake, standard belly plate, long service intervals and an LCD display for quick troubleshooting.
  • Safety and comfort: PDS+ presence detection, ground speed control, hydraulic drum brakes, electronic parking brake, adjustable steering column and a Grammer seat with back cushion.

  • LPG speed control system, LPG bracket removed
  • Factory-fitted panel cab, Deluxe cab
  • Dust-proof kit and strainer, hydraulic oil cooler, torque converter line filter
