Caterpillar has launched four new C Series telehandlers with capacities up to 3,700kg and lift heights to 7.3 metres.

The TH336 and TH337 have maximum lift capacities of 3,300kg and the TH406 and TH407 can lift 3,700kg. Lift height for the TH336 and TH406 is 6.1 metres whereas the TH337 and 407 can lift up to 7.3 metres.

Features include a new Cat powershift transmission with six forward and three reverse gears – all fully selectable. Maximum road speed is 40 km/h. A larger, redesigned engine cooling package features a hydraulic reversing fan and is fitted as standard. The cab has a pneumatic suspension seat and improved job-site visibility due to the larger glass area and the new curved engine cover profile which helps particularly to the operator’s front and rear on the right side of the machine.

The single lever, electro-hydraulic joystick has been redesigned to include the ‘up and down’ transmission control buttons.

The single lever, electro-hydraulic joystick has been redesigned to include the ‘up and down’ transmission control buttons for ease of operation and reduced operator fatigue. All controls, including auxiliary hydraulics, are fully proportional and controlled directly from the joystick. A new torque regulated load sensing hydraulic pump has an increased flow of 150 litres per minute.
Ride control (boom suspension) provides improved ride and results in faster working cycles. Boom float also allows the free movement of the boom allowing the work tool to follow the ground contours. The air conditioning condenser has been repositioned to the rear of the cab for increased efficiency.

A manual IT coupler comes standard, with the option of a hydraulic quick coupler to allow work tool changes without leaving the cab. Under the cover service access points are easily accessible and routine daily maintenance is now reduced to checking fluid levels and a walk-around inspection. In addition, the service menu is visible via the machine keypad and LCD display.

The TH407C will be displayed on the Caterpillar stand at Intermat.
