AC Drive Technology: Provides smooth control, high energy efficiency, and reduced maintenance costs.
Visibility: Features an “active window” design through the mast and a rounded chassis to give the operator an excellent field of vision at height.

Guidance Systems: Can be equipped with inductive wire guidance or mechanical rail guidance for high-speed operation within narrow aisles.

Ergonomics: Includes a carpeted cabin, cushioned floor, and adjustable seating to reduce operator fatigue during long shifts.
Note: Because Cat VNA trucks are “uniquely specified” for each warehouse, the exact weight and dimensions can vary based on the battery size and mast height chosen for your facility.
