CAT Empty Container Handlers Tucson

Lester M. Sears was the gentleman who thought it might be good idea to modify the farm tractor for use by industry more than 80 years ago. He came up with the "Model L," and although it could seem a little obsolete at the present, it was packed with new ideas. The machinery changed and transformed the materials handling industry.



Lester's first truck offered innovations which have become standard nowadays within the forklift industry. Amongst these important features comprise: rear-wheel steering, wheel drive, hydraulic lifting and tilting and high speed forward and equal reverse gears.



Lester began the "Towmotor" and then began CAT Forklifts, after being obtained by Caterpillar in 1965. With the same dedication to sensible solutions, commitment to extraordinary dependability and new ideas, CAT enjoys thinking that they are direct descendants of Lester's. The Model L was so efficient and durable that the model worked hard for over 30 years prior to finally retiring.



Caterpillar formed a joint venture during the year 1992 with MHI Ltd. or Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. They brought together marketing and financial strengths and technological strengths in the production of material handling equipment. The business has had their headquarters in Almere, the Netherlands ever since that time.



CAT forklifts are currently amongst the best built equipment in the industry. CAT produces forklifts that run on LPG, diesel, electric counter balanced models and gasoline engines. The corporation makes a complete line of warehouse machines too. The local CAT dealers are amongst the very best within the business and offer over 80 years of relevant experience.
