Caterpillar Forklifts Inside...
Caterpillar forklifts are manufactured by
Mitsubishi. In fact, it took the merging of two companies, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. ("MHI")
and Caterpillar Industrial Inc. ("CII"), to create this larger company that specializes in machines
that boast manufacturing and engineering excellence with a well-known brand name. Today, they are known
as MCFA, or Mitsubishi Caterpillar Forklift America, INC.
Today, this company manufactures and distributes
forklifts under the Mitsubishi brand, and lift trucks under the Cat brand name. MCFA provides assembly,
production, and supplies chain services in the Americas. The company provides manufacturing and support
services in Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East as well. Caterpillar forklifts are a world renowned
company.
On the specific CAT website, they boast
that they are the world's largest manufacturer of medium speed engines, as well as one of the largest
manufacturers of high speed diesel engines, with ratings available from 54 to 13,600 hp (40 to 10,000
kW). They also say that Caterpillar offer more spec sheets than anyone, allowing more people to reach
real information about their products. Caterpillar doesn't just focus on forklifts; however, they also
manufacture all kinds of heavy equipment, as well as marine engines.
They offer four different types of forklifts:
Loaders, Backhoe loaders, Skid steer loaders, and Telehandlers, with both lock forks and pellet forks,
for whatever type of job you would need the Caterpillar forklift for. Whichever type of machinery you
choose the website then offers you these choices: find your dealer, financing, rental, insurance, training,
maintenance and support, and a build and quote page that helps you to work a forklift into your budget.
You can configure the machine you want according to its weight capacity, etc.
The Mitsubishi end of this corporation focuses
solely on forklifts. They offer fuel powered and electric forklifts, with each kind of tire. They also
offer electric and manual pallet movers and narrow aisle forklifts. Their slogan is "Ready. Reliable.
Right on the money." And it does seem that their prices rival some of the other big companies. However,
on their main website, you would have to send a request sheet to get this information.
Caterpillar forklifts are just a small part
of what the MCFA Company strives to provide for industries all over the world. They are one of the largest
if not the largest manufacturer of this type of machinery and their statistics and reputation prove that
they are definitely a great company.
