Caterpillar TH215 overview

Caterpillar TH215 features overview

Overview

The TH215 Telehandler is a highly versatile, compact machine, designed to deliver maximum performance with traditional Cat reliability, durability and productivity in the toughest working conditions.


Versatility

The TH215’s compact size combined with its durability and reliability make this machine an all-around performer, whether in construction, industrial or agricultural applications.


Maneuverability

The compact dimensions of the TH215 offer excellent maneuverability. With its low profile and 3.5 meter turning radius, it can work productively in confined areas.


Applications

The TH215 is a very versatile machine that can be used in a wide variety of applications. With the correct work tool for the job, the machine’s size and capability can provide an advantage in many of the applications listed below.


Drive

Hydraulics

A hydraulic header tank is located in the engine compartment for easy fill access. The hydrostatic circuit is supplied by the hystat gear pump, which provides 80L/min of flow.


Fenders

The fenders are mounted to the axle and have the ability to turn with the wheels allowing operators to easily determine the wheel orientation while protecting them from mud, rocks and water spray.


Axles

Both axles steer and utilize planetary reduction hubs. The rear axle is mounted at the center trunnion allowing 5 degrees of total oscillation, and the front axle is fixed.


Brakes

The brake system is filled with hydraulic oil from the main hydraulic system. The cable-operated park brake is foot activated and mechanically activates the park brake. The brake system has an accumulator that provides reserved brake pressure in the event of a hydraulic failure.


Cooling Package

The hydraulic oil is cooled upon exit from the hystat drive motor by an oil-to-air heat exchanger before returning to the main hydraulic tank. The TH215 is equipped with a blower fan that pushes air out through the rear-mounted radiator and an oil cooler that tilts out for cleaning purposes. This directs the hot air away from the operator providing a more comfortable work environment. An optional reversing fan is available for more effective cooling when working in hot or rugged environments.


Handling

Boom

The TH215 has a two-section box-formed boom constructed from a continuously welded, high-strength, heavy-duty pressed steel plate with generous boom section overlaps to reduce pad loads and increase pad life.


Performance

Performance and Powertrain

The TH215 has a maximum lift capacity of 2500 kg and 5.5 m lift height. It utilizes a Caterpillar designed 3054B Direct Injection Naturally Aspirated engine and a hydrostatic drive for smooth, accurate handling combined with powerful performance.


Single Joystick

The cable-operated joystick is located within easy reach of the operator. Diagonal movement of the joystick allows a combination of boom and tool functions to be achieved simultaneously. To raise or lower the boom, move the joystick backward or forward respectively. Move the joystick to the right to dump and the left to rack back. The colored buttons on the joystick control the boom and auxiliary hydraulic functions.


Equipment

Operator Efficiency

With the TH215, efficiency has been designed into every aspect of the cab, with a comfortable seat and low effort single joystick control.


Enclosed Cab

The TH215 is equipped with an enclosed cab allowing the operator to work comfortably, with air conditioning available as an option. The cab structure has been designed and certified to provide falling object and rollover protection (FOPS/ROPS).


Seat

The standard suspension seat is adjustable to provide a comfortable ride and an air suspension seat is available as an option. The operator can adjust the angle and the height of the steering column for maximum comfort.


Control Layout

The cab layout has been ergonomically designed to make the operator’s job as easy as possible. The controls are logical, highly responsive and easy to reach. The instrument panel is comprehensive and clear. The gauge cluster includes a tachometer, hour meter, fuel gauge and engine coolant temperature indicator to monitor the machine’s systems.
