Cat 2C6500 Specifications
The Caterpillar 2C6500 is a 6,500 lb capacity cushion
tire forklift engineered for high-performance indoor material handling in
warehouses, distribution centers, and manufacturing facilities. Powered by a
Nissan K25 dual-fuel engine configured for gasoline or LPG operation, this model
delivers 63 hp for consistent performance in demanding applications. The 2C6500
features a single-speed powershift transmission for smooth directional changes,
hydrostatic power steering for precise maneuverability in confined aisles, and a
heavy-duty drive axle for enhanced durability.
The operator compartment includes cowl-mounted
hydraulic levers with ergonomic knobs, a fully adjustable seat with
suspension, and comprehensive instrumentation for system monitoring.
With its 83.5 in turning radius and 44.0 in overall width, this forklift
navigates narrow aisles efficiently while maintaining stability through
its 55.0 in wheelbase. The hydraulic system delivers 23.5 gpm flow at
2,250 psi for responsive lifting performance. Standard features include
six load rollers for mast stability and an inching pedal for precise
load positioning.
