Cat P5000D Specifications

Basic Information

The Caterpillar P5000D is a 5,000 lb capacity diesel-powered pneumatic tire forklift engineered for versatile indoor and outdoor material handling applications. Powered by a Mitsubishi S4S diesel engine producing 59 hp, this model delivers reliable performance in environments such as construction sites, lumber yards, and agricultural settings. The P5000D features a single-speed powershift transmission for smooth directional changes, hydrostatic power steering for precise maneuverability, and pneumatic tires for enhanced traction on uneven surfaces.

The operator compartment includes ergonomic controls, excellent visibility through the mast channels, and comprehensive instrumentation for system monitoring. With its 88.0 in turning radius and 45.5 in overall width, this forklift navigates confined spaces efficiently while maintaining stability through its 63.0 in wheelbase. The hydraulic system delivers 120 fpm lift speeds at 2,625 psi operating pressure for responsive load handling.
