Four new high performance telehandlers
Caterpillar’s four new models of telehandlers feature high performance, ease of control and exceptional versatility – all in a package defined by the needs of contractors. The four models are the TL642, the TL943, the TL1055 and the TL1255, which have a capacity range of 6,500 pounds (2,948 kg) to 12,000 pounds (5,443 kg) and maximum lift heights of 42 feet (12.8 m) to 55 feet (16.8 m).
As a result of an alliance agreement with JLG Industries, the four new TL Series machines are based on proven JLG designs and incorporate Caterpillar components. The four new machines replace B-Series machines previously manufactured by Caterpillar. Two smaller B-Series machines, the Cat TH220B and TH330B will continue to be offered. All of the machines are fully supported by the Caterpillar dealer network and Caterpillar product support system.
The TL1255 is the largest telehandler in the line and has greater capacity than any of the B-Series machines had. It is capable of lifting 12,000 pounds (5,443 kg). Maximum lift height is 55 feet (16.8 m). The TL1055 has lift capacity of 10,000 pounds (4,536 kg) and maximum lift height of 55 feet (16.8 m). The TL 943 has lift capacity of 9,000 pounds (4,082 kg) and maximum lift height of 43 feet (13.1 m). The smallest of the TL Series is the TL642, which has 6,500-pound (2,948-kg) lift capacity and 42-foot (12.8-m) maximum lift height. All of the machines are designed to work productively and cost effectively in a variety of general construction, heavy construction and industrial applications.
The four new telehandlers feature Caterpillar engines for responsive, reliable and fuel efficient performance. The TL642 and TL943 use the Cat 3054C Tier 2 engine, and the TL1055 and TL1255 use the Cat C4.4 TA engine. The latter is turbocharged and aftercooled, and it meets EPA Tier 3 emissions requirements. All four machines use a proven powershift transmission that offers four speeds forward and three reverse for optimum travel speed in either direction.
