Cat TH460B Specifications
The Caterpillar TH460B telehandler is a high-capacity,
long-reach material-handling machine engineered for heavy construction,
industrial logistics, agriculture, and infrastructure work. With a rated load
capacity of 4,100 kg (9,000 lb) and a maximum lift height of 13.5 m (44.3 ft),
it occupies the upper tier of Caterpillar’s B-Series telehandler class.
The machine is built around a rugged frame, a
powerful Cat 3054E turbocharged diesel engine, a precision electronic
hydraulic system, and a 3-section telescopic boom designed for strength,
durability, and smooth multi-function operation.
The TH460B delivers excellent maneuverability, strong tractive power,
and predictable load handling. With three steering modes, full-time 4WD,
a tight turning radius, and robust planetary axles, the machine performs
effectively in confined jobsites and uneven ground. Its operator
environment is designed for intuitive control through an
electro-hydraulic joystick capable of simultaneous boom functions,
supported by an electronic machine information display that communicates
vital operating diagnostics.
The telehandler’s serviceability is equally
optimized, employing long service intervals, easy access to maintenance
points, and integrated diagnostic capability - an important factor in
minimizing downtime and total cost of ownership.
The TH460B is powered by the Caterpillar 3054E
industrial diesel engine.
