In 1992 Caterpillar formed a joint venture with Mitsubishi Heavy Industries (MHI) Ltd to combine technological, financial and marketing strengths in the production of materials handling equipment. Since that time they have operated from corporate headquarters in the Netherlands.

Cat Lift Trucks are among the best-built trucks in the business, including diesel, petrol, LPG and electric counter-balanced units, as well as a complete range of warehouse equipment including powered pallet trucks, stackers, reach trucks, multi-way reach trucks, low level order pickers, mid-high level order pickers and turret trucks.

While you are researching caterpillar gas forklifts in and around Swanscombe DA10 you might wish to know that a worker had to have a leg amputated after it was crushed when the forklift he was driving toppled over when it hit a pothole. It was later found that he had not received any training in driving the forklift.
