Caterpillar Forklift NVT15 | 1.5 ton

Description

Caterpillar Forklift NVT15 | 1.5 ton

The Caterpillar (Cat) NVT15 is a specialized Man-Up Turret Truck designed for Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) operations.
Unlike a standard counterbalance forklift, this unit is engineered for high-density warehouses where it can operate in aisles barely wider than the truck itself.
Below are the key technical specifications and features for the NVT15 (1.5 ton) model:

Core Specifications

Feature Specification.
Model NVT15.
Load Capacity 1,500 kg (1.5 Ton).
Load Centre 600 mm.
Power Source 48V or 80V Battery (Electric).
Operator Type Man-Up (Cabin rises with the forks).
Application Very Narrow Aisle (VNA) / High Racking.
Max Lift Height Typically up to 15–17 meters (Standard models).
Travel Speed Up to 12 km/h.

Operational Dimensions

Turning Radius: Approximately 2,080 mm to 2,210 mm (varies by chassis configuration).
Overall Width: Customisable, typically starting around 1,000 mm to 1,900 mm depending on aisle requirements.
Mast Type: Available in Duplex (for stability and speed) or Triplex (for higher reach) configurations.

Key Performance Features

Man-Up Design: The operator’s cabin rises with the load, providing a perfect view of the pallet and the rack at extreme heights, which is essential for precise order picking and stacking.
AC Drive Technology: Equipped with advanced AC motors for fast lifting and travel speeds with minimal energy loss.
Ergonomics: Features a spacious cabin with carpeted walls, cushioned floors, and adjustable seating to reduce operator fatigue during long shifts.
Guidance Options: These units typically use Inductive Wire Guidance or Rail Guidance to navigate safely through narrow aisles without the operator needing to steer.

Safety & Maintenance

Stability: A low center of gravity and mast-to-chassis struts ensure maximum stability even at high lift heights.
PDS (Presence Detection System): Prevents hydraulic and travel movements if the operator is not in the correct position.
Diagnostics: Rapid fault analysis is available via LED displays or PC connection for quick servicing.
Note: Because NVT units are often custom-built to fit specific warehouse rack heights and aisle widths, some dimensions (like the exact mast height or battery capacity) can vary based on the original purchase configuration.
