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.

When you are investigating caterpillar dp 45 k 4500kg counterbalance forklift in and around scotland bear in mind that in the forklift trade, as in the motorcar industry, there is a “grey market”. This is the sale of forklifts imported into the UK from foreign markets. The main problem with these units is that they look the same as UK models but most dealers can’t support them as parts are different to those on UK models and are therefore difficult and expensive to source.
