Caterpillar V 550

The Caterpillar V 550 is a robust diesel-powered forklift that started production in 1996. Designed to handle substantial loads up to 25 tonnes, it features a modest centre of gravity at 1.2 metres, enhancing its stability during operations. Equipped with standard L 6 tyres and a reliable transmission, it is part of the Model series V, guaranteeing Caterpillar's consistent engineering excellence. Powered by a sturdy Caterpillar 3208 engine, the forklift boasts an engine power of 136 kW, delivering notable torque for demanding tasks. Despite its power, its operation years were quite limited, potentially due to evolving industry standards or newer models replacing it.
