Cat introduces new compact telehandler

13 Feb 14 Caterpillar has launched the TH255C telehandler, which has a rated load capacity of 2,500kg and a maximum lift height of 5,600mm.

The company said that the new model has a powerful and compact design that accommodates a wide range of work tools and a varied range of applications.

At the centre of the TH255C is a new engine available as both EU Stage IIIB and EU Stage IIIA versions. The TH255C also has a more powerful hydrostatic drive system for added tractive effort for negotiating difficult terrain.

Other features include a new cooling package, new axles and a redesigned engine pod. The hydrostatic transmission in the TH255C is designed to provide smooth application of power at the wheels with no need for the operator to change gears.

The instrument cluster and dash panel are also new and have been designed to provide at-a-glance monitoring of machine performance and an intuitive control.

The TH255C is fitted with a standard universal quick coupler that is compatible with many Cat skid steer loader tools.
