CATERPILLAR P22000 SIT-DOWN FORKLIFT

The Caterpillar P22000 forklift is a heavy-duty industrial lift truck designed for robust material handling tasks. It features a 460 cubic inch displacement, 6-cylinder 6M60-TL diesel engine delivering 148 horsepower at 2100 rpm and 450 lb-ft of torque at 1600 rpm, providing excellent power and torque for demanding operations. The forklift’s operating weight is approximately 34,613 lbs, emphasizing its capacity for large-scale lifting. Dimensionally, it has a ground clearance of about 8.7 inches, an overall width of 8.3 feet, and a length to fork face of 14.1 feet. The height to the top of the overhead guard is 9.6 feet, with an overall height of 10.7 feet when the mast is lowered, and a maximum fork height of 11.1 feet. Its wheelbase measures 9.2 feet, and the turning radius is 13.2 feet, facilitating maneuverability in industrial environments. The mast is engineered for efficiency with a lift speed of 94 feet per minute and a lower speed matching at 94 feet per minute, accommodating a load capacity of 22,046 lbs at a 23.7-inch load center. The mast allows a maximum fork spread of 79.8 inches and articulates forward and rearward at 15 and 12 degrees respectively. The forklift operates at a maximum speed of 18 mph on pneumatic tires, supported by four front wheels and two rear wheels for stability and traction across rugged terrains. This combination of power, load capacity, and dimensional design makes the Caterpillar P22000 ideal for heavy material handling in demanding industrial settings.
