Literature On New Lift Truck

For Containers

Caterpillar has introduced a new

V925 lift truck designed for the worldwide container handling in- dustry. The V925 has 75,000 pounds of capacity when equipped with a container handling spreader for moving and stacking fully loaded 20 to 40-foot containers at dockside, rail yards, and transfer terminals. The truck, largest in the Caterpillar Lift Truck product line, is now available and is de- scribed in free literature.

Among the V925's special proven design features is the oil disc brake system. The multiple disc design provides significantly more brak- ing surface than standard shoe- type or dry caliper disc brakes lasting up to 15,000 hours under continuous operation.

The V925's planetary power shift transmission (currently used in large Cat wheel loaders) has four speeds forward and reverse. The transmission can be shifted at speeds up to 5 mph without poten- tial damage or shortened life.

Marine Air Compressors
