Cat TH220B Specifications
The Caterpillar TH220B telehandler is a versatile,
mid-capacity material-handling machine designed for construction, agriculture,
industrial support, warehousing logistics, and demanding utility operations. Its
engineering prioritizes stability, productivity, and operator comfort,
delivering both lifting performance and maneuverability.
With a rated load capacity of 2500 kg (5500 lb)
and a maximum lift height of 6.1 m (20 ft), the TH220B occupies a
strategic place in the B-Series lineup as a compact yet capable
general-purpose telehandler. Its 3054E diesel engine provides dependable
torque and efficient fuel usage, while Caterpillar’s 4-speed powersyncro
transmission ensures smooth and confident travel under varying load and
terrain conditions.
The TH220B features a spacious operator station with ergonomic control
placement, excellent visibility, a modulated electronic joystick, and
full diagnostic display. Its 4-wheel steering, three steering modes,
planetary axles, and strong hydraulic system allow the machine to
perform confidently in tight job sites. Extended service intervals and
robust Caterpillar components further enhance uptime and reduce
operating costs.
