Cat TH360B Specifications
The Caterpillar TH360B telehandler is a high-reach,
mid-capacity telescopic handler engineered for construction, industrial material
handling, agricultural lifting, commercial storage yards, and infrastructure
projects that require strong load performance at extended heights.
With a rated lifting capacity of 3500 kg (7,700
lb) and a maximum lift height of 13.5 m (44.3 ft), the TH360B is one of
the taller machines in Caterpillar’s B-Series telehandler family. Its
design emphasizes stability, mechanical reliability, high visibility
from the operator cab, long-life drivetrain components, and dependable
hydraulic performance.
The TH360B uses Caterpillar's 3054E diesel engine, paired with a
load-sensing axial piston hydraulic pump and a four-speed mechanical
power-shift transmission. Planetary axles, a reinforced steel chassis,
and oil-immersed service brakes ensure safe, powerful operation in
rugged environments.
The 3-section telescopic boom is engineered for
rigidity, reduced flex under load, and precision movement control. As a
B-Series model, it offers straightforward maintenance access, mechanical
simplicity, and long service life - making it a preferred machine in
fleets requiring dependable operation with moderate electronic
integration.
The TH360B is powered by the Caterpillar 3054E
industrial diesel engine.

The 3054E engine is engineered with fuel efficiency and torque stability in
mind. Its cast-iron block and head, mechanical fuel system, and low-RPM torque
curve allow the telehandler to perform heavy lifting tasks and reach full
hydraulic capability with minimal strain. The cooling system uses a belt-driven
water pump and high-capacity radiator designed to operate in harsh dusty
environments.
