Practical Cat Quality. Flexible Four-Wheel Performance.
The Cat® EQ Line four-wheel electric counterbalance forklifts provide a practical and economical solution for businesses that need dependable materials handling without paying for unnecessary specification.
Available in 1.6, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 tonne capacities, the range provides the flexibility to match the forklift to the loads and working environment. There is also a 3.0 tonne model with a 600 mm load centre for applications where additional load-handling capability is required.
Designed for everyday materials handling, these four-wheel electric forklifts combine a stable, robust design with efficient Li-ion battery technology, straightforward controls and practical safety features.
The result is a dependable forklift range that delivers the essential performance needed for regular handling, while helping businesses keep both initial investment and ongoing operating costs under control.
Stability and Versatility Across Your Operation
The four-wheel configuration provides a stable and versatile solution for handling a wide variety of loads across warehouses, production facilities, yards and other industrial environments.
With a choice of capacities, the EQ Line four-wheel range can accommodate everything from lighter warehouse duties through to more demanding 3.0 tonne handling applications.
Typical applications include:
- Loading and unloading delivery vehicles
- Moving pallets around warehouses and distribution facilities
- Handling materials within production and manufacturing environments
- Transporting goods across larger sites
- Indoor and outdoor materials handling
- General industrial applications
- Handling heavier or varied loads
- Working across uneven surfaces and gradients
Whether the requirement is regular pallet movement inside a warehouse or transporting loads between indoor and outdoor areas, the four-wheel EQ Line provides a straightforward solution without unnecessary complexity.
The Right Capacity for the Job
With five capacity options across the range, businesses can select a forklift according to the weight, dimensions and handling requirements of their loads.
The range includes:
- 1.6 tonne
- 2.0 tonne
- 2.5 tonne
- 3.0 tonne
- 3.5 tonne
- 3.5 tonne with 600 mm load centre
This broad choice helps avoid over-specifying the forklift. Businesses can select the capacity they actually need rather than automatically investing in a higher-specification truck.
The 3.0 tonne, 600 mm load-centre option provides additional flexibility for applications involving loads where the centre of gravity extends further forward.
Efficient Li-ion Power
Li-ion battery technology makes the EQ Line four-wheel range an efficient alternative to conventional internal combustion forklifts and traditional battery-powered trucks.
Fast charging and opportunity charging allow the battery to be topped up during suitable breaks in operation, helping maintain forklift availability throughout the working day without the need for routine battery exchanges.
Li-ion technology also eliminates the need for regular battery watering, helping reduce the time and maintenance associated with battery management.
Combined with efficient energy use, straightforward servicing and durable components, the result is an electric forklift designed to help keep day-to-day running costs predictable.
Built Around Value
The EQ Line is designed for businesses that want the reliability of a Cat forklift but don’t need to pay for a long list of premium features.
The focus is onroviding the essentials required for safe, productive everyday handling:
- Reliable electric performance
- Robust construction
- Straightforward operation
- Efficient Li-ion technology
- Practical safety equipment
- Low-maintenance operation
- Flexible application options
This approach can help businesses control their capital investment while still benefiting from Cat quality and support.
Rather than over-specifying a forklift for occasional requirements, the EQ Line allows you to select a truck that is appropriately matched to the application.
Straightforward Operation and Operator Comfort
The operator environment combines familiar controls with practical comfort features to make the truck easy to use throughout the working day.
Conventional hydraulic levers and automotive-style pedals provide intuitive operation, while seat suspension helps reduce vibration and improve driver comfort.
The operator compartment provides space to move and work comfortably, with additional options available for applications requiring enhanced ergonomics, visibility or weather protection.
Available comfort and protection options include:
- Fingertip hydraulic controls
- Luxury operator seat
- Glass roof
- PVC roof option
- Front window with windscreen wiper
- Complete weatherproof cabin
- Cold store modification down to -18°C
Designed for Indoor and Outdoor Handling
The four-wheel EQ Line is suitable for applications where a forklift may need to move between warehouse, production and outdoor areas.
Super elastic tyres provide durability and shock absorption when operating across less even surfaces, while the available weather protection and lighting options allow the truck to be adapted to more demanding working environments.
For businesses operating in cold, wet or variable conditions, optional equipment can provide additional protection without requiring a move to a more highly specified forklift.
