  The TH514 Telehandler is one of 10 similar machines manufactured by the industrial equipment manufacturer Caterpillar of Peoria, Illinois. Also referred to as extendable reach forklifts and telescopic handlers, these machines act as small cranes to lift heavy objects to and from an elevated place. Telehandlers are a safer and less expensive alternative to material elevators.

Diagnostics

• The Cat TH514 Telehandler comes standard with a Caterpillar C4.4 direct injection turbocharged aftercooled diesel engine with a 4.13-inch bore. The engine has a maximum torque of 302.4 lbs. per foot with a maximum 101 horsepower and is capable of reaching a maximum speed of 20 mph. The machine's transmission features four forward and three reverse gears. The TH514 has a cargo-free operating weight of 23,772 pounds and a maximum lift height of 45 feet with a reach of 30.27 feet.

Lift Capacity

• The TH514 is equipped with stabilizers that increase the machine's maximum lift capacity. With the stabilizers not in use, the TH514 can carry a load of 4,000 lbs. at its maximum height of 45 feet. With the stabilizers down, this capacity increases to 7,000 lbs. at maximum height. For tasks that involve long reaches, the telehandler can lift 3,000 lbs. at its maximum reach of 30.27 feet with the stabilizers in place. With the stabilizers not in use, this capacity shrinks to 1,000 lbs.

Operating Cab

• The TH514 operator's cab comes equipped with a heating and ventilation system and optional air conditioning for maximum operator comfort. Strategically placed handholds and steps allow easy access to and from the operator cabin. The cab is also equipped with an enclosed roll-over protective structure to protect the operator in the event of a rollover accident. The in-cab LCD display keeps operators informed of lift height and reach, stabilizer status and which operating mode is currently in use. A built-in start coding device prevents unauthorized use and theft of the machine.
