The four new models (TH0642, TH0842, TH1055 and TH1255) will replace the TL642, TL943, TL1055 and TL1255 machines.
Kevin Coleman, a senior product consultant for Cat Telehandlers, said, “Our goal with the next-gen Cat Telehandlers is to deliver a safe, reliable, smooth and comfortable range of machines that are easy to use and maintain.”

The OEM said the new range of lifts are powered by the Cat C3.6TA (turbocharged and aftercooled) diesel engine that meets US EPA Tier 4 Final/EU Stage V emissions standards.
The 74hp (55kW) engine includes a zero-service diesel particulate filter (DPF) and does not require diesel exhaust fluid (DEF), the company added.
There’s also a 115hp (86kW) option for the TH0842, TH1055, and TH1255 models, which uses selective catalytic reduction (SCR) technology.
There are three options for operator stations: open canopy, enclosed cab with heat, and enclosed cab with heat and air conditioning. The units also feature standard auxiliary hydraulics to support hydraulically powered Caterpillar attachments and come equipped with Caterpillar’s Product Link Elite standard telematics.

“The redesigned interior features an ergonomic control layout, standard tilt steering column, and a new full colour LCD monitor that provides machine information in a choice of four languages – English, French, Spanish or Portuguese,” Caterpillar added.
“Additional standard equipment includes the standard operator presence seat switch to prevent machine operation when the operator is not seated. The optional Load Stability Indication (LSI) system provides visual and audible alerts to the operator regarding forward machine stability while handling a load.”
Target availability is scheduled for the second quarter of this year.
The telehandlers will be on display at the World of Concrete (booth C6061) in Las Vegas, US, from January 21-24.
