Features

The Compact Machine with a Huge Appetite for Work

When space is limited, the TH255C is your answer. Measuring just 1.8 m wide and 1.9 m tall. It will get under those low overhead doors or work between floors. It may be small but the TH255C packs a heavy punch when it comes to those heavy handling jobs around the job site lifting 2500 kg to 5.6 m. The hydrostatic transmission is perfect for precision maneuvering around obstructions and the 55 kW (74 hp) engine gives you plenty of power for fast loading. We fit a skid steer loader style quick coupler providing you with the opportunity to fit a wide range of work tools, making this a very versatile handler.

Built to Take on the Toughest Jobs

Big Cooling System

We know how dusty and dirty it gets on site and have designed a cooling system to cope. Engine, transmission and hydraulic system all have their separate cooling radiators designed with a special “Square wave core.” This allows any material that has passed through the outer screen to pass right through and not clog up. For extreme conditions an optional reversing fan is available, keeping you going whatever the conditions.

Load Sensing Hydraulics Cut Fuel Consumption

At the heart of our system is a variable displacement piston pump. Load sensing means it only works when you want it to. When you are not using the hydraulics the pump stays idle. This not only saves fuel but reduces heat build up and consequently means less wear in the system. Matched to our “Flow Sharing Valve” this system allows you to work all boom functions simultaneously, smoothly and with great accuracy. Lifting heavy loads? No need to speed up the engine to get more hydraulic pressure with our system, it delivers maximum hydraulic pressure at low engine speeds saving fuel. At Caterpillar we know hydraulic systems and we know what you have to do. The Cat Telehandler will perform for you all day every day.

Engine and Serviceability

Servicing the Cat C Series Telehandlers could not be simpler. Engine and transmission are housed under a large lift up hood supported by a gas strut. All daily checks are done from ground level, and are placed for easy access. Filters are all vertical to reduce spillage when changing and the engine has an eco drain to prevent oil contamination. Fuel and hydraulic tanks are non metallic to keep contamination to a minimum and prevent condensed water from damaging components. The Cat 3.4 liter Stage IIIB engine uses a diesel particulate filter with a passive regeneration system. Service life of the filter is 3,000 hours at which time it can be cleaned or service exchanged.
