Versatile Tool Carrier from Cat

Caterpillar’s new IT62H integrated tool carrier is designed to deliver superior performance and versatility in a wide range of material handling applications, according to the company. Its versatility derives from three key features: a hydraulic quick coupler, parallel lift linkage and a wide range of work tools. The hydraulic quick coupler allows quick changing of work tools, with many tool changes able to be made without the operator leaving the cab. For work tools requiring hydraulic connection, the operator connects and disconnects manually using the no-spill quick disconnects. The 8-bar linkage provides parallel lift to keep the load level throughout the lift cycle. Parallel lift allows the operator to concentrate on placing the load, instead of retaining it. The IT62H is powered by an EU Stage IIIA compliant Cat C7 six-cylinder ACERT engine rated at 234 hp. Transmission oil and hydraulic filters are located behind the hinged, right-side access ladder. The hydraulic oil tank can be drained from this location using the access port. Maintenance-free batteries, relay panel and an optional tool box are conveniently located below the left-side access platform. The engine shutdown switch is housed with the relay panel. A compartment integrated into the access platform contains the hood tilt actuation switch, master switch and optional jump-start receptacle. These service centers reduce downtime by 50%, according to Cat.
