Description

Caterpillar Forklift DP200NL | 20 ton

The Caterpillar DP200 series (specifically models like the DP200N or DP200NE) represents the heavy-duty pinnacle of Cat’s diesel pneumatic tire lift trucks.
These units are specifically designed for high-capacity industrial applications such as stevedoring, heavy manufacturing, and construction.
Below are the typical specifications for the 20-ton (20,000 kg) variant.

Core Technical Specifications

Feature Specification.
Load Capacity 20,000 kg (20 Ton).
Load Center 900 mm or 1,220 mm (depending on specific sub-model).
Power Source Diesel.
Engine Model Typically Caterpillar C7.1 or similar high-torque industrial diesel.
Transmission 3-speed Automatic / Powershift.
Tire Type Pneumatic (Dual front wheels for stability).

Performance & Maneuverability

Lifting Speed: Approximately 0.30 – 0.40 m/s (loaded).
Travel Speed: Typically ranges between 20 – 25 km/h, allowing for efficient transport across large sites.
Gradeability: Designed to handle inclines of 20% to 30% depending on the load.
Steering: Fully hydrostatic power steering, which reduces operator fatigue and allows for precise positioning of heavy loads.

Physical Dimensions (Estimated)

Overall Width: ~3,000 mm to 3,200 mm.
Length to Fork Face: ~5,500 mm to 6,000 mm.
Turning Radius: Large radius required, typically around 5,000 mm to 5,500 mm.
Mast Height: Standard lift heights usually start at 3,000 mm, with options for higher reaching duplex or triplex masts.

Key Features

Heavy Duty Chassis: A rigid, reinforced steel frame designed for low-center-of-gravity stability.
Braking System: Usually equipped with oil-cooled disc brakes (OCDB) for maximum stopping power and durability in wet or dusty environments.
Operator Comfort: Includes a premium suspension seat, ergonomic controls, and excellent visibility through the wide-view mast.
Presence Detection System (PDS): A safety feature that prevents hydraulic or travel movement if the operator is not seated correctly.
Note: Exact specifications can vary slightly based on the “N” (Narrow) or “E” (Enhanced) designations and the year of manufacture. Always check the serial plate on the unit for the specific load chart.
