The new Cat TH514 telehandler is a robust, versatile machine with a load capacity of 4999 kg, lift height of 13.7 metres and forward reach of 9.2 metres. The TH514 Telehandler delivers productivity across any jobsite.

Load-sensing, flow-sharing hydraulics allow for all three boom functions to be operated simultaneously and proportionally. The system provides smooth control of the boom and work tools for increased accuracy, especially when placing loads in challenging applications.

The 74.5 kW (101 hp) Cat C4.4 DITAAC mechanical control, turbo charged engine is standard and certified to Stage IIIA (Tier3) emission regulations. This engine is designed to provide excellent power and torque levels to meet jobsite requirements.

As standard, a limited slip differential fitted in the front axle allows the machines to work effectively in tough conditions.

A range of Cat work tools extends the versatility of the machines. A high visibility manual IT coupler comes as standard, with the option of a hydraulic quick coupler to allow work tool changes without leaving the cab.

The new cab is spacious and comfortable with good visibility, and features a new heating and ventilation system with optional air conditioning. The single lever joystick with roller switches is easy to use, and all controls, including auxiliary hydraulics, are fully proportional.

An in-cab LCD displays a wide range of information, and the keypad can be used to select various operating modes, including three different steering modes.

A Longitudinal Stability Indicator for the machine's forward stability provides a constant and progressive check on load safety with a cut-out for the extend and lift down functions should the recommended load be exceeded. A built-in start code device reduces the risk of theft and unauthorised use.

Service points are readily accessible and major components are at ground level. Service access points are conveniently located under the engine cover, and routine daily maintenance is now reduced to checking fluid levels and a walk-around inspection. The TH514 Telehandler is easier to maintain and benefits from the Cat dealer support network.
