CAT Empty Container Handlers Austin

Lester M. Sears was the man who thought it could be good idea to modify the farm tractor for use by industry more than 80 years ago. He created the "Model L," and even if it can look quite outdated at the moment, it was packed with new ideas. The machinery transformed and changed the materials handling business.



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



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



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



Currently, CAT Lift Trucks are amongst the best-built in the industry. These machinery come in diesel, LPG, electric counter balanced models and gasoline engines. The corporation manufactures a complete series of warehouse equipment too. The local CAT dealers are among the best within the business and offer over 80 years of pertinent experience.
