You’re buying or leasing an orderpicker, so you take

a hard look at your cost of operation. What it gets

down to is moving more product to more customers

faster. And doing it cost effectively. Your operator

is a key to making that happen. With the right

truck, the operator will increase productivity.

Driven By Productivity

So that’s where Caterpillar® Lift Trucks began to

design its line of narrow aisle trucks—around the

operator. The idea was to use the latest ergonomic

design and create a universal operator environment,

whe re a ny op e ra t o r wou l d f e e l immed ia t e l y

comfortable, confident and in control.

The Cat® Command Center– a new standard in control, comfort and function.

Everything about the Cat Command Center tells you you’re looking at operator acceptance and increased productivity.

The technology is advanced. The “brain” of the entire truck is Caterpillar Lift Trucks’ MICRO COMMANDNA, a state-of-the-art microprocessor control system. Everything from informational messages to self diagnostics are clearly displayed for the operator’s convenience.

The operation is simple. That’s because the single, multi-function control handle operates the many orderpicker functions simultaneously with the touch of one hand. What’s more, the control handle provides complete programmability to ensure the application fit.

Caterpillar Lift Trucks’ergo­nomic design innovations include a control handle perfectly shaped to the hand; a picking window with maximum accessibility; a mast with good visibility; infinitely variable lift/lower and travel speed control.

All this makes the operator compartment the ideal blend of comfort, flexibility and functionality—factors that help increase productivity.

When it comes to ease of operation and serviceability, “Innovative Design Driven By Productivity” says it all.

The Cat Command Center– advanced technology with a lot of common sense

I f Your Operator Designed The Perfect Orderpicker,

The operator environment of the Cat Command

Center is the most efficient, most comfortable

compartment modern ergonomic design and

common sense can provide.

That’s why the pick window is over 1740 sq in

That’s why the control handle works the way

the human hand works. And why the mast

provides good operator vision.

Operator, control handle, high-tech controls

and the compartment design interact naturally

to maximize operator comfort and efficiency.

The entire environment of the Cat Command

Center has but a single purpose—to improve

the material handling performance of “Man

and Machine.”

Make lower costs and higher product iv i ty an everyday thing. From mast to motors, the rugged construction of your Cat lift truck sets a new standard in reliability, durability and strength. Simply put, Cat trucks are always ready to go.

Combine Cat reliability with the complete programmability of the Cat MICRO COMMANDNA, and you’re putting a more powerful, more cost­effective material handling tool into the hands of your operator.

The result–

improved efficiency that shows

up in more picks per hour.

The payoff–

increased productivity.

The bottom line –

a significant reduction in your

cost of ownership.

Cat lift trucks meet nationally recognized safety standards

The Cat MICRO COMMANDNA, Information Center

Your Cat lift truck comes with built-in reliability. That’s what the MICRO COMMANDNA provides.

Among the informational scrolled messages commun­icated on the easy-to-read display panel are:

Current battery status Scrolled informational messages

Operating hours Self-test

From start-up to the end of the shift, MICRO COMMANDNA monitors all critical functions: • Start-up diagnostics check over 120 critical

functions to ensure proper truck operations without the need for a “tester”

• Run-time diagnostics monitor the entire system 40 times per second while the truck is in use

• Thermal limiting reduces travel speed in 4 steps, if required

• Stall protection prevents extensive motor wear and damage

• Emergency disconnect cuts all current to lift circuit, disables travel and applies the brake

• Audible signals inform operator immediately of a limiting condition, fault or incorrect password

• Four hour meters for scheduling maintenance (hours on the operator’s presence switch, hours lifting, key on, and travel miles)

Program the performance to fit the application. Using only the control handle, you or your operator can easily program MICRO COMMANDNA to set the performance characteristics of your Cat orderpicker. It’s your assurance that your Cat lift truck always fits your appplication.

Among the programmable features are:

Set maximum travel speed

Set lift acceleration: soft, medium, hard

Set lift interrupt: 0-50%

The aerospace design of the handle allows theoperator to easily set and perform the followingfunctions separately or simultaneouslydepending on the job:• Control handle position determines precise

machine speed regardless of load or floor conditions

• Precise, smooth travel direction maximizes load stability

• Lift/lower speed control reduces bouncing, load shaking, shifting and damage

• Precise torque control improves maneuverability and delivers smooth inching without stalling/lurching

• Proportional plugging provides maximum operator control while maneuvering at all speeds

• Infinitely variable lift/lower speed control (performance models)

As tough as the sum ofits parts. You can look long and hard and you won’t find a more rugged, more durable narrow aisle truck.

Once you see a Cat lift truck in action, you’ll be convinced it’s tougher than your toughest job.
