The NPV/NPF platform power pallet trucks address the challenges of loading/unloading, short or long transport, and order picking with innovative solutions. These trucks deliver exceptional productivity and comfort, featuring advanced engineering and design for fast, confident, and safe operation in any conditions. Key innovations include the ProRide+ system, which enhances traction, damping, and stability, even on slippery, wet, or uneven surfaces and during cornering. The emPower ergonomic tiller head, equipped with user-friendly controls and various steering technologies, ensures rapid and precise handling.

Models are available with foldable or fixed platforms, offering load capacities of 2.0 or 2.5 tonnes and a choice of three chassis lengths. They can be configured for either Li-ion or lead-acid battery use.

Folding platform versions (NPV20N3 and NPV25N3) feature fold-up/fold-down protective side bars and excel in loading, unloading, cross-docking, and internal transport tasks. Rear entry fixed platform versions (NPF20N3R and NPF25N3R) are versatile, with safety options like automatic slowdown/stopping if the operator’s foot is outside the platform. Side entry fixed platform versions (NPF20N3S and NPF25N3S) are ideal for internal transport and order picking. All NPV and NPF models offer comfortable damping, with fixed platforms providing optional electric adjustment based on the operator’s weight and preference.

LOWER COST OF OWNERSHIP

• Fully weather-protected and impact-resistant tiller head is sealed to IP65 standard and reinforced for high durability.
• Sealing of connectors, sensors, and other key components combines with robust construction, protected display location, shock and accident avoidance, long service intervals, and fast access features – including removable motor cover – to reduce maintenance needs and improve uptime.
• Standard display includes BDI (battery discharge indicator) to help prevent damaging deep discharge and support optimal timing of battery changes.
• Multifunctional display option offers clear information on truck and battery condition, faults and actions, and enables setting of operator IDs and PIN code access to avoid unauthorised truck use.
• Compatibility of parts reduces stock-related costs for servicing of these and other Cat trucks.

SAFETY AND ERGONOMICS

• Best-in-class emPower ergonomic tiller head gives easier access to controls with a unique design that achieves the optimum distance between hand and lift/lower buttons.
• Ergonomically designed tiller head operating features include optimised handle shape and cross-section, large hand space, enlarged horn and lift/lower buttons, and an optimally angled throttle wheel with seven convenient finger positions.
• Dual controls allow easy reach with either hand and can be used accurately even when the operator is wearing gloves.
• Tiller-type power steering via a short tiller arm features a hydraulic damper and works without physical connection to the drive wheel – avoiding transmission of bumps, twists, and turns, while enabling comfortable, controlled, precise manoeuvring. (Available on folding platform and rear-entry fixed platform models.)
• Comfort Steering via a tiller head without arm – as on an electric scooter – maximises power-steered control and precision, with the aid of a damper, while avoiding shock, vibration, strain, and fatigue in the operator’s hands, wrists, and arms. (Available on fixed platform models.)
• Mechanical steering option provides a long tiller arm for a simple, low-effort manoeuvring solution in less intense work environments. (Only available on folding platform models.)
• Electronic steering technology automatically adjusts sensitivity according to steered angle and truck speed, and gives resistance and feedback for controlled travel and full confidence. (On power-steered trucks.)
• Cornering control automatically slows the truck down when turning to maintain safe motion. (On power-steered trucks.)
• Unique electrically adjustable damping option on fixed platform models is optimised for each operator’s weight and preference at the touch of a button, providing a cost-effective increase in comfort.
• High-positioned, cushioned, and shock-resistant protective side bars on folding platform models are deployed quickly and simply with one hand to help avoid falls and defend against impacts.
• Fixed platform models give extra protection and comfort, with low step height and a choice of rear and side entry barrier designs.
• Optional foot protection system automatically slows/stops the truck if a foot is outside the platform. (Rear-entry fixed platform models.)
• Rugged build includes compact but heavy-duty chassis, integrated bumper, and cast-iron platform to resist deformation and protect the operator.
• High-comfort damping on both folding and fixed platforms minimises impacts on the knees, especially, and acts progressively with increasing operator weight, while ergonomic controls and steering further reduce effort and fatigue.

UNMATCHED PRODUCTIVITY

• Fully integrated Li-ion technology makes continuous operation possible, without battery changes, using fast opportunity charging during short breaks. (Buyers can choose between Li-ion and lead-acid truck versions.)
• Compact dimensions – this range includes the market’s shortest heavy-duty pallet trucks – combine with easy, accurate handling to allow quick manoeuvring, even in tight spaces.
• Market-leading lift height (220 mm) makes work easier on steep ramps and loading docks.
• Exceptional levels of comfort, control, traction, and stability keep operators alert, confident, and productive, however intense their workload.
• Three performance modes are selectable to suit individual users and applications:
  • Pro – for advanced operators and intensive operations
  • ECO – for low energy consumption with high productivity
  • Easy – for learners and sensitive goods handling
    (Only available with multifunctional display option.)
• Latest AC drive motor technology delivers higher torque and easier controllability, for top-class performance.
• Proportional lift/lower control via rocker buttons enables quick, smooth, and fine-tuned fork movements.
• Unique ProRide+ system is a milestone advance in power pallet truck development, solving the age-old problem of how to combine effective traction, damping, and stability.
• Unique floating drive unit design works with additional friction force from the hydraulic system to maximise drive wheel pressure and traction, preventing wheelspin on slippery floors and optimising braking performance.
• Unique castor wheel design uses variable damping to minimise shocks and vibration, even on rough surfaces, and features a locking function which maintains stability during turns, with or without loads.
