CATERPILLAR P4000D SIT-DOWN FORKLIFTS

Technical Description

The Caterpillar P4000D forklift is a robust diesel-powered material handling machine designed for efficient lifting and maneuverability in industrial environments. It features a 203 cubic inch displacement S4S diesel engine delivering 59 horsepower at 2300 rpm and torque of 135 lb-ft at 1800 rpm, providing ample power for demanding tasks. The forklift’s chassis measures 8.2 feet in length to the fork face, with an overall width of 3.8 feet and a height to the top of the overhead guard of 7 feet, optimizing operational clearance and stability. With a ground clearance of 4.7 inches and a wheelbase of 5.3 feet, it ensures steady performance over typical work surfaces. The lifting system includes a mast capable of reaching a maximum fork height of 11 feet, with a lift speed of 125 feet per minute and a lower speed of 98 feet per minute. The mast allows a forward tip angle of 6 degrees and a rear tip of 10 degrees, aiding in load positioning. The forklift handles a maximum load capacity of 4,409.3 pounds with a load center of 19.7 inches and supports a maximum fork spread of 39.4 inches. It rides on pneumatic tires—two front and two rear—providing enhanced traction and cushioning. The operating weight is approximately 7,500 pounds, and the unit achieves a maximum travel speed of 11 mph (18 kph) with a tight turning radius of 7.3 feet, balancing power, agility, and lifting capability for a broad range of material handling applications.
