  • The Caterpillar P-5000 Powered Work Loader is a mechanized exoskeleton used for lifting and moving heavy objects such as crates and vehicular ordnance.

  • The Caterpillar P-5000 Powered Work Loader is a mechanized exoskeleton used for lifting and moving heavy objects such as crates and vehicular ordnance. Power loaders are equipped with hydraulic claws similar to those used on forklifts, one joint of each claw is placed under the package, while the other joint clamps down on top of the package so it remains secure. It was selected by the US Colonial Marines as their prime loader vehicle for logistic and support operations. Configured as an anthropomorphic exoskeleton power frame, the P-5000 offers unprecedented flexibility when handling ordinance and cargo during rough field operations, or when conducting heavy maintenance away from fixed workshops. Capable of manipulating loads up to 4000 kg, the P-5000 is a rugged and reliable alternative to conventional forklifts, rigs and cranes.
