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 investigating CAT Forklifts in and around Norfolk you might wish to be aware that a forklift driver also has a legal duty to ensure the safety of others. In one case a forklift driver working at a sawmill was fined £1,750 plus costs after an incident in which he hit a fellow employee causing a fractured pelvis, cuts and bruises. The driver''s vision was impaired by the load he was carrying. In this case the employer had employed an in-house forklift truck trainer and the driver had received regular refresher training and re-testing and as a result it was the employee not the employer that was fined for this incident.
