Cat TH210 Specifications

Basic Information

The Caterpillar TH210 telehandler is a compact, highly maneuverable, and versatile material-handling machine designed for applications that require strong lifting performance in confined or height-restricted work environments. Its engineering emphasizes rugged reliability, ease of operation, and the ability to navigate tight areas where larger telehandlers cannot efficiently operate.

The TH210 features a maximum lift capacity of 2200 kg (4850 lb) and a lift height of 5.2 m (17 ft), making it suited for construction, agriculture, industrial warehousing, landscaping, and general maintenance work. Its hydrostatic drive system provides smooth, responsive control, while the Caterpillar 3054B-DI diesel engine offers efficient fuel usage and strong low-end torque.

The TH210’s compact footprint, low cab height, and excellent visibility give the operator confidence during precise load placement. The machine’s two-section boom, multiple steering modes, durable frame, and robust hydraulic system allow it to function as a multipurpose lifting platform.

Several work tools - including buckets, forks, and specialized lifting attachments - expand its flexibility. The TH210 is engineered for long service life, straightforward daily checks, and easy access to vital maintenance points.

Engine Specs

Technical Data
Engine model: Cat 3054B-DI
Engine type: 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, naturally aspirated diesel
Gross power: 63 kW (84 hp) @ 2300 rpm
Net power: 60 kW (80 hp) @ 2300 rpm
Maximum torque: 300 Nm (221 lb-ft)
Bore: 103 mm (4.05 in)
Stroke: 127 mm (5 in)
Displacement: 4.23 L (258 cu.in)

The 3054B-DI engine is designed for high efficiency, smooth combustion, and durable performance. Its direct-injection architecture ensures clean fuel atomization, efficient fuel burn, and reliable cold-start behavior. The cast-iron block and head, robust main bearings, and gear-driven timing system contribute to long service life under heavy-duty operating cycles. The engine is tuned for low-speed torque, making it ideal for lifting under load, hydrostatic power transfer, and operation on uneven terrain.

Lubrication System
Lubrication: Full-pressure wet-sump lubrication system with gear-driven oil pump
Oil capacity: approx. 8-9 L (8.4-9.5 qt)
Oil filtration: spin-on full-flow cartridge
Oil type: SAE 15W-40 diesel-rated lubricant

Cooling System
Cooling: Closed-loop liquid cooling system
Coolant capacity: approx. 12-15 L (12.7-15.8 qt)
Thermostat opening: approx. 82°C (180°F)
Cooling system pressure: 90-103 kPa (13-15 psi)
Cooling system includes: radiator, coolant reservoir, engine-driven fan, coolant pump

Drive Train

Transmission:
Type: hydrostatic, closed-circuit
Speed ranges: 2 forward / 2 reverse
Range 1 maximum speed: 8 km/h (5 mph)
Range 2 maximum speed: 32 km/h (20 mph)

The hydrostatic transmission provides infinitely variable speed control and delivers constant torque across the speed range. It enables smooth acceleration, precise inching capability, and rapid response when handling loads.

Axles
Front axle: fixed, planetary drive axle
Rear axle: oscillating (center trunnion), ±5° total oscillation
Drive configuration: full-time mechanical 4WD
Differential: limited slip (front axle)
Axle hubs: planetary reduction
Axle lubrication: SAE 80W-90 or 85W-140 gear oil
Axle durability: reinforced cast housing for off-road reliability

Brakes
Service brakes: hydraulic, oil-immersed disc brakes (front axle)
Parking brake: foot-activated, mechanical linkage
Emergency reserve: accumulator-based backup braking pressure

The hydraulic brakes provide consistent stopping force even under sustained use. Enclosed braking components reduce contamination risk and extend service intervals.

Electrical System

Voltage: 12 V
Alternator output: 65 A
Battery: 12 V, 750 CCA maintenance-free with disconnect switch
Primary systems supported: glow plugs, lighting, auxiliary power, electronic indicators
Electrical protection: anti-restart circuitry, fuse/relay panel

Key features include sealed connectors for durability in wet and dusty environments. The machine incorporates indicators for coolant temperature, transmission oil temperature, charging system status, and fuel level.

Wheels and Tires

Drive type: full-time 4WD
Chassis design: heavy-duty welded frame with integrated tie-down and lift points
Steer cylinder protection: mounted above axles for debris resistance

Tires
Standard: 10.5-20 MPT Goodyear industrial tires
Optional: agricultural tread patterns and Michelin alternatives

The tire selection ensures good stability, traction on rough terrain, and controlled load handling. The frame geometry provides a low center of gravity and excellent machine balance.

Steering type: hydrostatic power steering
Turning radius: approx. 3.0 m (9 ft 10 in)

Steering modes:
- Two-wheel front steer
- Circle steer (four-wheel coordinated)
- Crab steer for lateral movement

Steering benefits: precision control in confined spaces, fast transitions between modes, automatic steer alignment indication

Hydraulic System

Pump type: gear pump
Maximum system pressure: 240 bar (3480 psi)
Maximum pump flow: 80 L/min (21.1 gal/min)
Auxiliary hydraulic pressure: 240 bar (3480 psi)
Auxiliary flow: 80 L/min (21.1 gal/min)

Hydraulic functions are controlled through a single joystick with proportional modulation. The joystick enables simultaneous movements such as lifting and tilting. A 5-micron spin-on hydraulic filter protects the system from contamination. The machine uses non-metallic wear pads on the boom sections to reduce friction and extend service life.

Boom type: 2-section telescopic boom
Boom construction: welded high-strength steel with large overlap for rigidity
Boom wear pads: non-metallic, adjustable
Lock valves: fitted to all load-holding cylinders
