CAT Empty Container Handlers San Jose

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 made the "Model L," and although it may seem a bit obsolete now, it was packed with new ideas. The equipment changed and transformed the materials handling industry.



Lester's initial truck offered innovations that have become basic nowadays within the forklift business. Several of these important features comprise: rear-wheel steering, wheel drive, high speed forward and equal reverse gears, and hydraulic lifting and tilting.



Lester started the "Towmotor" and after that started CAT Lift Trucks, after being obtained by Caterpillar during 1965. With the same dedication to practical solutions, dedication to new ideas and extraordinary reliability, CAT enjoys thinking that they are Lester's direct descendants. The Model L was really strong and efficient that the prototype worked hard for over 30 years before finally retiring.



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



CAT lift trucks are currently among the best built machines in the industry. CAT produces lift trucks that operate on LPG, diesel, electric counter balanced models and gasoline engines. The company also manufactures a complete series of warehouse machinery. The local CAT dealers are among the best within the business and provide over 80 years of relevant experience.
