Cat DP60 Specifications

Basic Information

The Caterpillar DP60 is a 6,000 kg capacity diesel-powered forklift engineered for heavy-duty material handling applications. Powered by a Mitsubishi S6S-T six-cylinder diesel engine, this pneumatic tire model combines robust construction with high-performance capabilities. The truck features a two-speed automatic powershift transmission with torque converter for smooth operation and a load sensing hydraulic control valve that conserves energy for efficient performance.

With a powerful drive train and heavy-duty steer axle, the DP60 is designed for longevity in demanding environments including stevedoring, metal industries, lumber, concrete, and industrial equipment handling. Rapid access to transmission and torque converter simplifies maintenance, while axle and mast lubrication points are positioned for easy reach. The robust chassis and permanently lubricated mast and carriage load rollers contribute to reduced maintenance requirements and extended service life.
