Cat GP40K Specifications

Basic Information

The Cat GP40K is a heavy-duty Class V internal combustion pneumatic tire forklift built for demanding outdoor applications requiring 4,000 kg lifting capacity. Powered by a Nissan TB45 engine, it provides reliable torque and power for handling heavy loads across rough terrain and improved surfaces. Operators benefit from a well-designed compartment with intuitive controls, good all-around visibility, and a comfortable seat that reduces fatigue during long shifts. The robust construction, durable powertrain, and serviceable components contribute to its reputation as a dependable workhorse in challenging environments.
