Cat® NTR30-50N2
Stand-on electric tow trucks for towed loads of 3.0 and 5.0 tonnes in warehouse and industrial work, especially in the automotive sector.
The NTR30-50N2 is a stand-on electric tow truck for moving trailers and towed loads in warehouses, production plants and any industrial setting where loads are towed regularly; Cat recommends it especially for the automotive sector. It comes in two versions: the standard 3.0 tonne NTR30N2 and the heavy-duty NTR50N2 for towed loads of up to 5.0 tonnes.
- Adaptive steering and intelligent curve control keep motion, traction and balance smooth from the start to the end of each turn; traction control prevents wheelspin with heavy loads and on slippery floors.
- Walk-beside operation via the steering wheel with limited angles: a better view of the trailer, easier coupling and uncoupling, and short movements; “flying start” from beside the truck.
- Triple-suspension floor, a spacious, low-step, unobstructed platform, and a vibration-damped, adjustable steering unit with integrated controls.
- Regenerative braking that stops without sway, with hill hold and anti-lock functions; deceleration is programmable with TruckTool, and ECO and PRO driving modes are available.
