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.
