Cat DP70 Specifications

Basic Information

The Caterpillar DP70 is a 7,000 kg capacity diesel-powered pneumatic tire forklift engineered for heavy-duty applications in demanding environments such as lumber yards, metal processing facilities, and distribution centers. This model features a robust chassis and a heavy-duty steer axle designed to deliver long service life and high performance under continuous operation. Powered by a Mitsubishi S6S-T turbocharged diesel engine, the DP70 combines substantial power with reliability. The drivetrain includes a two-speed automatic transmission with torque converter for smooth and efficient operation.

A load sensing hydraulic control valve optimizes energy use by matching flow to demand. Serviceability is enhanced through rapid access to the transmission and torque converter, while mast and axle lubrication points are positioned for easy reach. The mast and carriage load rollers are permanently lubricated to reduce maintenance requirements. With its combination of rugged construction, powerful engine, and thoughtful design for maintenance access, the DP70 is well-suited for challenging material handling tasks.
