A12% reduction in energy
consumption is one of the
benefits claimed for the new
Cat EP13-20(C)PN(T) range of 48V,
3 and 4 wheeled, counterbalanced
electric lift trucks from Impact
Handling. These trucks can operate
indoors and out, whatever the
weather, so come with a number of
preset modes to suit a range of
operating conditions.

While these presets can enhance
energy efficiency, the ability to fully
programme each truck, to suit
operational and business needs,
means that their performance and
efficiency can be individually
optimised. Service intervals have
been extended to 1000 hours due to
features including maintenance free,
sealed wet disc brakes, while IPx4
splash resistance and IP54 sealed
traction and hydraulic motors
provide added reliability to the
trucks.

Designed for driver comfort the
trucks have low step heights for easy
access, uncluttered space for the
driver, and noise levels at the driver’s
ear of only 66dB(A) (three-wheel
models) and 67dB(A) (four-wheel
models) which are said to be among
the quietest available.
