Cat GC60K Specifications

Basic Information

The Cat GC60K is a 6,000 kg (13,200 lb) capacity LPG-powered cushion tire forklift engineered for demanding indoor and outdoor material handling applications. This four-wheel, sit-down counterbalanced truck delivers robust performance in manufacturing, distribution, and heavy warehouse environments. Power is provided by a choice of engines including the PSI 4X V6 producing 78 kW (105 hp) or the optional GM V6 delivering 69 kW (93 hp), mated to a 2-speed powershift transmission enabling travel speeds up to 23.0 km/h (14.3 mph).

The truck features lift speeds reaching 0.39 m/s (77 ft/min) and a turning radius of 2,570 mm (8.5 ft) for maneuverability in confined spaces. The standard simplex mast provides 2,370 mm (7.8 ft) of maximum fork height with 165 mm (6.5 in) of free lift, while optional three-stage masts offer lift heights up to 4,750 mm (15.6 ft). With its heavy-duty solid tires, spacious operator compartment, and comprehensive safety systems including operator presence detection, the GC60K delivers reliable performance for heavy-duty applications.
