Overview

The telescopic handler industry is one of the fastest evolving in the Building Construction Products
Division. In recent years the Telehandler industry has changed as demand for different size classes
of machines has increased. The launch of Cat
product offering within both the smaller and larger size classes for Cat

®

of Cat

Telehandlers into different applications, increasing the importance that the machine sold is
the correct machine for specific applications. Now, with the launch of the TH514, Caterpillar
continue to be an important player in the distribution of telehandlers. The Caterpillar Alliance Group
will allow Caterpillar

®

to continue growth in the telehandler market and meet customer requirements

and expectations.

Our strategy recognizes the increasing role of Telehandlers in everyday work, ranging from Construction
to Industrial applications. The TH514 provides a rated capacity of 4990 kg (11,000 lb) and a lift height of

13.7 m (45 ft). Caterpillar also offers a wide range of work tools and machine options to fit a variety of
applications, duties, climates, and conditions.

Summary of Features

TH-B-Series presented a significant increase in the

dealers. This drove the sales

®

will

• Engine — Reliable Cat

®

C4.4 mechanical control engines with excellent power and torque levels.

• Axles — Limited slip differential fitted in the front axle as standard. No interaction is needed from

the operator enabling him to concentrate on his job. Secondly the machines are able to be productive
in the toughest working conditions.

• Hydraulics — Great proportional hydraulic control on boom raise/lower, tilt, and telescope gives

a smoother feel and increased boom control. A load sensing variable displacement pump delivers flow
on demand, ensuring only the flow rate required reducing both fuel consumption and heat generation.
Combined cycle times are superior as a result of the pump's ability for simultaneous movements.

• Auxiliary Hydraulic Controls for Hydraulic Work Tools — The auxiliary functions are controlled

by the joystick to any attachment requiring hydraulic supply for operation.

• Controls — The single joystick with roller switches allows operators to become more proficient

in operation. All controls, including auxiliary hydraulics and stabilizers, are fully proportional.

• Air Conditioning — Air conditioning is available from the factory as an option. The heating,

ventilation and optional air conditioning system supplies numerous ventilation outlets strategically
positioned throughout the cab for optimum heating, cooling, de-mist and defrost performance.

• Work Tools — Tools designed and approved for the Cat

®

IT coupler will be available with
the new TH514. A selection of buckets, forks, carriages and lifting tools will be available
for added versatility.

• Coupler — The high visibility manual IT coupler comes standard on the TH514, allowing the operator
to quickly change work tools. The high visibility design offers the operator visibility from the operator
station to the right hand fork tip.

Overview

• Optional Hydraulic IT Coupler — Provides exceptional versatility and operator comfort. This option
can also be retro-fitted!

• Proportional Auxiliary Hydraulic Control — The joystick operates the hydraulic functions for
the use of work tools that require hydraulic flows. The flow is fully adjustable from 0 to 60 L/m
(15.85 gal/min). Constant auxiliary hydraulic flow is available for work tools such as augers,
sweeper brooms, etc.

• Stabilizers — Standard to provide an increased stability and load carrying capacity. The stabilizers are
designed to improve ground clearance and minimize bulldozing effects.

• Frame Leveling — Standard on the TH514. This feature is especially useful when operating in rough,
uneven terrain.

Performance

Performance. With its compact dimensions, three steering modes and a tight turning radius,
the TH514 provides exceptional mobility and maneuvrability for working in confined spaces
like buildings and yards.

The chassis and booms are manufactured from
the highest quality steel to ensure long term
life and component durability. The chassis and
booms are computer aided designed and were
subject to rigorous stress analysis, durability
and fatigue tests to ensure that the machine
meets all application demands and fulfils
customer expectations.

Boom. This model features a box section
boom constructed of four welded plates.
This box section design gives freedom to place
material where needed, optimising weight
and lift capacity. Also the wear pads are placed
in an optimal position with regards to load
distribution — resulting in less wear, greater
wear pad contact area and less friction.

Chassis. The chassis of the TH514 is the main
platform to mount all major components such as
engine pod, axles, boom and cab assemblies. The
sturdy chassis features composite bearings with a
durable bronze alloy design.

This model features a one-piece chassis with
side-mounted cabin and side mounted engine.
A widespread wheelbase gives outstanding
stability in both traveling and lifting operations.

Stabilizers. Stabilizers are standard on the TH514
to provide increased stability and load capacity
at reach. The stabilizers are controlled from
the joystick: full proportional, independent or
simultaneous.

A compensating cylinder is standard. This
cylinder keeps the pallet forks or work tools
parallel when lifting or lowering the boom.

The TH514 uses two hydraulic cylinders to extend
and retract the boom.
