Cat Lift Trucks introduces new AC powered lift trucks

Cat Lift Trucks has introduced the E3000-E6500 series of AC powered lift trucks. New trucks have MicroCommand alternating current, AC, control system, an advanced Operator Presence Detection System and high travel, lift and lowering speeds.

The new series offers nine models with capacities ranging from 3,000 to 6,500 lbs, all of which are engineered for long-term reliability in demanding manufacturing, industrial and commercial applications. The development of an innovative MicroCommand AC control system promises several benefits, including the elimination of redundant components typically found on off-the-shelf boxed systems and increased productivity through advanced Mosfet and thermal management technology.

Equipped with a highly efficient AC-drive motor, the E3000-E6500 series delivers increased acceleration and high travel, lift and lowering speeds. Torque and speed are controlled separately, allowing for optimum driving performance, including improved speed control, especially on uneven surfaces. Additionally these trucks are designed with individual thermal protection systems that guard against overheating of the pump motor, drive motor and control panel, therefore minimizing heat-induced complications and downtime.

To reduce operator fatigue, the lift trucks feature a full suspension adjustable vinyl seat that provides weight and lumbar support. In addition, an ergonomic operator restraint system provides increased support when turning to face rearward.
