3 June 2010 TEJB9564 (06-2010) Cat TH514 Telehandler
Overview
The telescopic handler industry is one of the fastest evolving in the Building Construction Products
Division. In recent years the Telehandler industry has changed as demand for different size classes
of machines has increased. The launch of Cat
® TH-B-Series presented a significant increase in the
product offering within both the smaller and larger size classes for Cat ® dealers. This drove the sales
of Cat ® Telehandlers into different applications, increasing the importance that the machine sold is
the correct machine for specific applications. Now, with the launch of the TH514, Caterpillar ® will
continue to be an important player in the distribution of telehandlers. The Caterpillar Alliance Group
will allow Caterpillar
® to continue growth in the telehandler market and meet customer requirements
and expectations.
Our strategy recognizes the increasing role of Telehandlers in everyday work, ranging from Construction
to Industrial applications. The TH514 provides a rated capacity of 4990 kg (11,000 lb) and a lift height of
13.7 m (45 ft). Caterpillar also offers a wide range of work tools and machine options to fit a variety of
applications, duties, climates, and conditions.
Summary of Features
• Engine — Reliable Cat ® C4.4 mechanical control engines with excellent power and torque levels.
• Axles — Limited slip differential fitted in the front axle as standard. No interaction is needed from
the operator enabling him to concentrate on his job. Secondly the machines are able to be productive
in the toughest working conditions.
• Hydraulics — Great proportional hydraulic control on boom raise/lower, tilt, and telescope gives
a smoother feel and increased boom control. A load sensing variable displacement pump delivers flow
on demand, ensuring only the flow rate required reducing both fuel consumption and heat generation.
Combined cycle times are superior as a result of the pump's ability for simultaneous movements.
• Auxiliary Hydraulic Controls for Hydraulic Work Tools — The auxiliary functions are controlled
by the joystick to any attachment requiring hydraulic supply for operation.
• Controls — The single joystick with roller switches allows operators to become more proficient
in operation. All controls, including auxiliary hydraulics and stabilizers, are fully proportional.
• Air Conditioning — Air conditioning is available from the factory as an option. The heating,
ventilation and optional air conditioning system supplies numerous ventilation outlets strategically
positioned throughout the cab for optimum heating, cooling, de-mist and defrost performance.
• Work Tools — Tools designed and approved for the Cat ® IT coupler will be available with
the new TH514. A selection of buckets, forks, carriages and lifting tools will be available
for added versatility.
• Coupler — The high visibility manual IT coupler comes standard on the TH514, allowing the operator
to quickly change work tools. The high visibility design offers the operator visibility from the operator
station to the right hand fork tip.
