Cat launches new TH514 telehandler

Caterpillar has launched the new Cat TH514 telehandler which has a load capacity of 4999 kg, lift height of 13.7 metres and forward reach of 9.2 metres.

Load-sensing, flow-sharing hydraulics allow for all three boom functions to be operated simultaneously and proportionally.

The new Cat TH514

The unit is powered by a 74.5 kW (101 hp) Cat C4.4 DITAAC mechanical control, turbo charged engine as standard and certified to Stage IIIA (Tier3) emission regulations.

Also standard is a limited slip differential fitted in the front axle allowing the machine to work effectively in tough conditions.

A range of Cat work tools extends the versatility. A high visibility manual IT coupler comes as standard, with the option of a hydraulic quick coupler to allow work tool changes without leaving the cab.

The 5 tonne capacity TH514 is aimed at more demanding applications

The new cab has good visibility, and features a new heating and ventilation system with optional air conditioning. The single lever joystick with roller switches is easy to use, and all controls, including auxiliary hydraulics, are fully proportional.

An in-cab LCD displays a wide range of information, and the keypad can be used to select various operating modes, including three different steering modes.

A Longitudinal Stability Indicator for the machine’s forward stability provides a constant and progressive check on load safety with a cut-out for the extend and lift down functions should the recommended load be exceeded. A built-in start code device reduces the risk of theft and unauthorised use.

Service points are readily accessible and major components are at ground level. Service access points are conveniently located under the engine cover, and routine daily maintenance is now reduced to checking fluid levels and a walk-around inspection.
