The line

Why we quote Cat

Cat and Mitsubishi lift trucks come from the same company. That is the point most buyers miss. They share engineering, parts and a service network. So parts for a used Cat are easier to get than the number of Cat trucks around would suggest.

Cat trucks hold their value well. The IC lineup has a good name for durability in hard conditions. That suits plants where one truck works an indoor aisle and a gravel yard in the same shift.

Supply is the real limit. There are fewer used Cats around than Toyotas or Hysters. When a good one comes in, we will tell you. When one does not, we will say so. We sell used Cats in Summit, Stark, Portage, Medina, Wayne and Cuyahoga counties.

Before you buy

Buying a used Cat forklift: what to check

These checks separate a good used truck from an expensive one. You can make every one of them before you commit.

  1. 1

    Parts are easier than you think

    Cat and Mitsubishi lift trucks share a company, engineering and parts. Parts are easier to get than you might expect.

  2. 2

    Supply is limited

    There are fewer used Cats around than Toyotas or Hysters. When we do not have one that fits, we will tell you.

  3. 3

    Match the tire to the job

    A cushion-tire Cat is a poor buy for yard work, however good the price. If any work is on gravel, hold out for pneumatic.

  4. 4

    Engine hours vs lift hours

    On IC trucks, these two numbers differ. A truck idling at a dock builds engine hours without much work. We read both where the truck reports them.

What capacity Cat forklift do I need?

Choose a Cat forklift rated for your heaviest real load, not your average one. Capacity drops as you lift higher and when you add attachments. This is called derating. It also drops as the load center (the distance from the fork face to the middle of the load) moves out. We work from your real loads and lift heights.
