Cat TH417C Specifications
The Caterpillar TH417C telehandler is a high-reach,
mid-capacity material-handling machine engineered for demanding construction,
industrial, and agricultural environments. It belongs to Caterpillar’s C-Series
telehandler lineup, known for powerful Cat diesel engines, advanced hydraulics,
and durable boom structures.
The TH417C’s defining capability is its
exceptional maximum lift height, reaching up to 17.3 m (56.8 ft) with
stabilizers deployed - placing it among the highest-reaching
telehandlers in its class.
With a rated load capacity of 4,000 kg (8,818 lb), strong breakout
forces, and a long forward reach extending to 12.7 m (41.7 ft), the
TH417C is designed for tasks involving elevated load placement,
multi-story building support, roofing material handling, agricultural
stacking, and industrial yard operations.
The cab offers excellent visibility and
ergonomic controls, while the machine's hydraulics deliver smooth
multifunction operation. Its load-sensing system promotes fuel
efficiency by supplying hydraulic power only when needed.
The TH417C is powered by the Cat C4.4 DITAAC diesel
engine, a robust four-cylinder unit meeting stringent emissions standards and
designed for long service life.
Engine specifications:
- Model: Cat C4.4 DITAAC
- Gross power: 74.5 kW (101 hp)
- Maximum torque: 410 Nm (302 lb-ft) at 1,400 rpm
- Bore: 105 mm (4.13 in)
- Stroke: 127 mm (5.00 in)
- Displacement: 4.4 L (268.5 cu.in)
- Emissions: EEC Stage IIIA / EPA Tier 3
The Cat C4.4 engine provides high torque at low RPM, enhancing load-handling
performance and improving responsiveness while lifting or extending the boom.
The engine cooling system uses a heavy-duty radiator, capable of handling
prolonged heavy loads and hot climates.
Airflow paths are optimized to manage dust
conditions commonly found on construction sites. Service points such as
filters, belts, and drains are accessible for routine maintenance.
The drivetrain of the TH417C is engineered for
durability, smooth operation, and precise control during telehandler maneuvers.
The powershift system allows for seamless shifting even under load. The forward
speed range ensures slow, controlled movement during load manipulation and
higher speeds for yard transport. Braking systems provide high stopping forces
and reliable control, especially under load.
Transmission:
- Type: Powershift
- Forward speeds: 5.2 km/h, 10.2 km/h, 23.3 km/h, 32 km/h
- Reverse speeds: 5.2 km/h, 10.2 km/h, 23.3 km/h
Axles:
- Heavy-duty front and rear axles with planetary reductions
- Rear axle oscillation for terrain adaptation
- Steering through the rear axle for tight turning capability
Braking System:
- Service brakes: Servo-assisted brakes on the front axle
- Parking brake: Mechanically actuated on the front axle
The telehandler uses a 12-volt electrical system
designed for robust operations and integration of sensors, engine controls, and
operator instrumentation.
Electrical features:
- 12V electrical architecture
- Alternator sized for lighting, sensors, and hydraulic electronics
- Operator sound level: 76 dB(A)
- Exterior sound level: 106 dB(A)
The control panel displays engine RPM, travel speed, gear, boom position, and
hydraulic information.
Drive
configuration:
- Front-wheel drive (2WD standard)
- Rear-axle steering for improved maneuverability
Tires:
- Standard tires: 14.00-24 16PR TG02 heavy-duty pneumatic tires
The chassis is a welded steel structure designed for torsional rigidity,
enabling heavy lifting at height. The undercarriage includes protective steel
plating for off-road durability.
The steering system is hydraulically assisted, routed through the rear axle.
This arrangement allows improved turning behavior and tight maneuverability when
working in confined areas. Outside turning radius: 3,920 mm (154.3 in) over
tires
The steering linkage and hydraulic control valves allow fine steering
adjustments, essential for precise load placement.
The TH417C uses a variable-displacement load-sensing
hydraulic pump, enabling efficient and responsive boom movements.
Hydraulic system details:
- Maximum system pressure: 250 bar (3,625 psi)
- Maximum pump flow: 150 L/min (39.63 gal/min)
- Pump type: variable-displacement axial-piston, load-sensing
- Hydraulic tank: 90 L (23.8 gal)
Auxiliary hydraulic flow:
- Intermittent: 80 L/min (21.13 gal/min)
- Continuous: 60 L/min (15.85 gal/min)
Boom hydraulic cylinders manage lift, extend (tele), and crowd/dump functions.
The system is designed for combined-function operation without perceptible lag
or drop in power.
