Technical Description

Things

The CAT EP 20 CN electric forklift is a means of lifting and handling goods designed to operate in industrial environments and warehouses. It is equipped with an electric motor powered by a rechargeable battery, which allows silent and low environmental impact operations. Thanks to its compact design and Triplex configuration, which allows a high lifting height with a small footprint, the EP 20 CN model is ideal for tight spaces and operations that require precision and flexibility.

What is it for

The electric trolley is mainly used for:

• Cargo Handling: Transporting pallets, crates and other load units within warehouses, distribution centers and production areas.
• Storage: Lifting and positioning of goods on shelves or inside containers.
• Loading and unloading: Loading and unloading operations of trucks and containers, thanks to the lifting capacity of up to 4.75 metres.

How to use it

The use of the CAT EP 20 CN electric forklift includes the following steps:

1. Pre-operational check: Check the battery status, oil levels, and functionality of the lifting and traction system. Check the integrity of the brakes and tires.
2. Turning on: Start the cart using the control panel. Make sure all controls work properly.
3. Load handling: Place the fork tines under the pallet or load to be lifted. Use the controls to raise the load to the desired height.
4. Translation: Move the load to the desired destination, using the 4-way translator to fit tight spaces or for precision positioning.
5. Lowering and releasing: Once the final position is reached, lower the load safely and free the forks before retracting the truck.
6. Turning off and charging: Turn off the cart and connect it to the charging station if necessary.

Materials used

The electric trolley is designed to handle a wide range of materials, including:

• Pallets of various goods: Suitable for food products, industrial materials, etc.
• Containers: Boxes, cages and other storage containers.
• Loose materials: Sand, gravel, grains (if contained in big bags or other containers).

Types of forklifts

Forklifts are divided into various categories:

1. Electric forklifts: Like the CAT EP 20 CN, they use electric motors and are ideal for indoor and closed environments.
2. Diesel forklifts: Powered by diesel engines, they are suitable for external work and on rough terrain.
3. LPG forklifts: Use liquefied petroleum gas, offering a good combination of power and low emissions.
4. Reach trucks: Designed to reach high heights in narrow spaces, typical of warehouses with high racks.
5. Telescopic forklifts: They have a telescopic arm that allows you to reach further heights or distances.

Maintenance of a used trolley

To keep a used forklift in good condition, it is essential:

1. Checking and charging the battery: Regularly monitor the battery charge and recharge it as necessary. Check the electrolyte and its density.
2. Lubrication: Lubricate the pivot points and guides of the lifting system to avoid wear and improve the fluidity of movements.
3. Fork and sideshift inspection: Check the forks for deformation or wear and verify that the sideshift is functioning properly.
4. Checking the tires: Examine the condition of the tires for signs of wear or damage and replace them if necessary.
5. Checking the hydraulic system: Inspect the hydraulic system for leaks or malfunctions and make sure the oil is at the correct level.

Checking the condition of a used trolley

Before buying a used forklift:

1. Visual inspection: Check the machine for any signs of corrosion, structural damage or deformation.
2. Battery check: Check the remaining capacity of the battery and its ability to hold a charge.
3. Operational test: Turn on the machine and check that all controls, the lifting system, and the traction are working correctly.
4. Inspection of the forks and lift system: Make sure that the forks are not deformed and that the lift system operates smoothly.
5. Checking certifications: Make sure the machine has all the necessary certifications, such as CE certification.

Why it is better to buy a used forklift

Buying a used forklift like the CAT EP 20 CN can offer numerous advantages:

1. Cost savings: The price of a used truck is generally lower than a new model, allowing for significant savings.
2. Tested Reliability: A truck that has already operated successfully can be a safe choice, especially if it has been well maintained.
3. Immediate Availability: Used trucks are often readily available, eliminating the wait time associated with purchasing a new model.
4. Resale value: A used trolley maintains its value over time, offering the possibility of reselling it in the future at a good price.
5. Certifications: A certified used trolley, like this one with CE certification, offers further guarantee of its compliance with safety standards.

In conclusion, the CAT EP 20 CN electric trolley represents an excellent solution for those looking for an efficient and robust lifting means. Purchasing a well-maintained used model is a convenient and safe choice, particularly suitable for those who need a reliable and certified machine for operations in industrial and warehouse environments.
