Cat 2P6000 Specifications

Basic Information

The Caterpillar 2P6000 is a 6,000 lb capacity internal combustion forklift engineered for demanding material handling applications. Powered by a Nissan K25 engine operating on gasoline or LP gas, this pneumatic tire model combines durable construction with operational efficiency. The truck features a powershift transmission for smooth directional changes and a hydraulic system delivering 2,625 psi for attachment compatibility. With a 93.7 in outside turning radius and gradeability reaching 40.3% loaded, the 2P6000 provides maneuverability and performance in warehouse and outdoor environments. The design emphasizes operator comfort with accessible service points and a spacious operator compartment.
