DP90 Caterpillar diesel forklift specs & dimensions (1996 - 2010)

Relentless Performance

Make short work of big jobs with durable, heavy-duty Cat lift trucks. Built to last, they feature a rugged 131-horsepower engine, automatic-shift transmission, and powerful air-over-hydraulic brakes to maximize performance and productivity. Hydrostatic steering, conveniently located controls, and a full-floating operator’s compartment help to reduce operator fatigue. Easy access to internal system components simplifies maintenance and helps to ensure robust performance for the long run. When the going gets tough, it’s tough to beat Cat lift trucks.

Non-Asbestos, Air-Over-Hydraulic Brakes

The shoe-type service brakes provide positive braking action with nominal foot pedal pressure—even after the engine shuts down. Cooling fins on the brake drums help dissipate brake heat, and optional Oil Cooled Disc Brakes (OCDB) are available for more severe braking applications. An easy-to-reach, cowl-mounted lever actuates the mechanical parking brake.

Full Hydrostatic Steering

Hydrostatic power steering helps reduce operator effort and enhances productivity. The system includes self-aligning kingpins supported by tapered roller bearings and adjustment-free, fixed-length tie rods to help lower maintenance requirements. A trunnion-mounted steer axle articulates up to 6° for smoother operation and stability. The large-diameter steer cylinder is housed within the steer axle, helping to protect it from debris.

Grab Bar For Easy Entry And Exit

An easy-to-reach grab handle on the overhead guard facilitates entry and exit of the operator’s compartment, situated just three short steps from the ground.

Comfortable, Full-Floating Operator’s Compartment

The operator’s compartment is isolated from the frame by rubber mounts that dampen vibration from the engine and transmission.

Easy To Access, Service, And Maintain

Systems under the hood are designed to help make checks as well as routine maintenance quick and easy. The air cleaner, batteries, fuel tank filler, fuel shut-off, and transparent brake fluid reservoir are all easy to reach and inspect. A large-capacity fuel tank helps to allow for more than eight hours of run time, boosting productivity.

Good Visibility Masts

Simplex masts tilt 15° forward and 10° back on models DP80 and DP90, and 15° forward and 12° back on DP100 - DP150. With widely spaced channels and twin lift cylinders positioned behind the uprights, these sturdy masts allow for good visibility as well as for fast lift and lowering speeds.

6-Cylinder, 131-Horsepower Engine

With 460 cubic inches of displacement, this in-line, 6-cylinder engine is a great match for demanding applications. It delivers high torque, efficient fuel consumption, and cold-weather starting capabilities to 5°F. Operators will like swift acceleration, low noise, and extended performance.

Toggle Switch For Versatility

By simply flipping a switch on the steering console, operators can manually lock the transmission into a lower gear for applications that require top speed control. This allows operators to match the transmission to the job: one-speed, two-speed, or three-speed automatic.

Durable 3-Speed Transmission

The automatic transmission offers precision inching and a high-stall torque converter for easy acceleration and exceptional control. An auto-shift feature automatically shifts gears up or down based on travel speed, so the lift truck starts out in first gear, helping to reduce stress on the drive train as well as premature wear on components.

Specially Contoured Seat

The spacious operator’s compartment includes a full-suspension, contoured seat with an adjustable-suspension bottom cushion. To help relieve back stress, the seat’s molded back lip provides arm support for added leverage when traveling in reverse.
