Description

Caterpillar Forklift NTD13N3 | 1.3 ton

The Caterpillar (Cat) NTD13N3 is a high-efficiency Man-Down VNA (Very Narrow Aisle) turret truck.
It is designed to act as a “two-in-one” solution, combining the storage density of a VNA truck with the speed and agility of a reach truck for transporting goods across a warehouse.
Below are the technical specifications for the 1.3-ton (1,250 kg) model:

Key Features & Performance

Turret Head: The forks rotate 180 degrees, allowing the operator to stack and retrieve pallets on either side of the aisle without turning the truck.
Guidance Options: Supports both Wire Guidance and Rail Guidance for high-speed operation in very tight spaces.
Palm Steering: A specialized ergonomic floating armrest that reduces driver strain during long shifts.
Tilting Seat: The seat can tilt back by 18° to give the operator a better view of loads at high elevations without neck strain.
Safety Systems: Includes a “dead man” safety switch and automatic speed reduction when forks are raised above 500 mm outside of a guided aisle.

Operational Capabilities

Fast Transport: Unlike traditional turret trucks that are slow outside of aisles, the NTD13N3 is designed for rapid travel between the racking area and the loading dock, often eliminating the need for “feeder” trucks.
Precision Control: Equipped with a multifunctional joystick and optional laser position lights for accurate fork placement.
