Cat TH407 Specifications
The Caterpillar TH407 telehandler is built as a
mid-capacity lifting and material-handling machine designed for agriculture,
construction, industrial warehousing, and general loading operations. It
provides a strong combination of lifting power, hydraulic responsiveness, and
maneuverability through its compact frame, three-mode steering system,
load-sensing hydraulics, and Caterpillar’s proven C4.4 diesel engine.
The TH407 is engineered to offer high stability
at height, controlled load placement, and dependable performance under
continuous work cycles. Its reinforced boom, planetary axles, 4-speed
powershift transmission, and strong breakout force make it a versatile
and durable machine suitable for pallet handling, bucket work, bale
loading, construction logistics, and repetitive yard operations.
With a rated lifting capacity around 3700 kg
(8150 lb) and a maximum lift height approaching 7.3 meters (24 ft), the
TH407 fits the needs of operators requiring reliability and consistent
performance in daily material-handling applications.

Planetary axles support high load-carrying
capacity and torque multiplication while minimizing axle stress under
heavy lifting and travel loads. The wet-disc brake configuration
supports reliable braking under heavy-duty cycle loads and reduces
degradation from dirt, dust, and moisture.
