CAT Empty Container Handlers Salt Lake City

Lester M. Sears was the gentleman who thought it might be good idea to adapt the farm tractor for use by industry more than 80 years ago. He created the "Model L," and though it can seem quite obsolete now, it was packed with new ideas. The machine changed and transformed the materials handling industry.



The first truck that Lester provided innovations on has become the standard today within the lift truck business. Among these key features consist of: rear-wheel steering, wheel drive, hydraulic tilting and lifting and high speed forward and equal reverse gears.



Lester began the "Towmotor" and afterward started CAT Lift Trucks, after being acquired by Caterpillar in 1965. With the same dedication to practical solutions, commitment to new ideas and extraordinary reliability, CAT enjoys thinking that they are Lester's direct descendants. The Model L was so effective and durable that the model worked hard for more than 30 years before finally retiring.



It was then during 1992, when Caterpillar joined Mitsubishi Heavy Industries in a joint venture. They brought together marketing and financial strengths and technological strengths in the manufacturing of material handling machines. The company has had their headquarters within Almere, the Netherlands ever since that time.



CAT lift trucks are now among the best built equipment within the industry. CAT makes forklifts which run on diesel, LPG, electric counter balanced units and gasoline engines. The company manufactures a complete series of warehouse machinery too. The local CAT dealers are among the very best in the business and provide more than 80 years of relevant experience.



The RTCH is a specially designed rough terrain vehicle which is able to operate in up to 5 feet of sea water and utilizes 4-wheel drive. This model is capable of functioning on soft soil places such as unprepared beaches. The RTCH could handle the 20 to 40 foot long and 8 foot wide containers.
