Experience robust performance with our refurbished 1997 Caterpillar dirt forklift. This rugged machine comes with an open ROPs cabin, ensuring durability and comfort in various working conditions. Recently upgraded, it boasts a fresh coat of paint, new tires, and a comfortable new seat, making it ready to tackle any challenge on your site.
Significant mechanical renovations have also been completed, including a comprehensive engine overhaul. Initially suspected to have injector issues, it was discovered to have a defective head gasket instead. Following this, we replaced the head gasket, rear main seal, and several engine components, including high-performance Amazon injectors. While these are not the standard OEM parts and have introduced some air into the lines causing slight smoke emissions, the forklift remains fully functional and operates smoothly with a turnkey start.
Despite the non-OEM injectors, this Caterpillar forklift runs effectively, providing reliable service without compromising on power. Ideal for those looking for a cost-effective, heavy-duty lifting solution, this machine continues to perform excellently on the job.
