TH340B Caterpillar Telehandler Specs & Dimensions (2004 - 2006)

High Torque Rise Engine

The Cat 3054E Electronic engine is fully compliant with the latest round of worldwide emissions regulations. While continuing to deliver maximum performance, it also features improved timing, reduced smoke, and exceptional service improvement. For improved sound characteristics, a venturi tailpipe has been packaged inside the engine enclosure. The electronic engine delivers: Improved low idle performance Product Link capabilities Improved fuel consumption Increased diagnostic and security capability.

Ease of Operation

Ease of operation was paramount in the design of the new TH340B. The single joystick, with its intuitive, modulated, hydraulic functions and the new Cat electronic machine information display are designed to maximize operator efficiency.

Powertrain

The TH340B is designed to perform in the toughest conditions. With its Caterpillar 3054E engine and purpose designed Caterpillar transmission and axles, you can depend on the TH340B to keep your job on schedule.

Joystick

The joystick is capable of three simultaneous boom functions making machine operation easy. All functions are fully modulated.

Joystick Control

The joystick allows three simultaneous boom functions and incorporates a unique slider switch. Two joystick control patterns are available to meet application requirements. The joystick also operates the auxiliary hydraulic function and allows the option of a second auxiliary service for the use of work tools that require more than one hydraulic service.

Hydraulic System

The Cat Electro Hydraulic system allows all three boom functions to be operated simultaneously and proportionally. This enables precise placing of loads in challenging applications. Auxiliary hydraulic functions are available on the joystick to allow operators to utilize more complex work tools. A continuous flow auxiliary hydraulic supply is also available for operating tools such as pickup brooms.

Integrated System

Cat’s exclusive integrated management system allows the engine, transmission and hydraulic systems to operate with maximum efficiency, control and productivity.

Flow Sharing

Three simultaneous hydraulic functions are achieved using a flow sharing hydraulic valve. A load sensing variable displacement pump allows full hydraulic power even at low revs.

Maneuverability

The TH340B offers excellent maneuverability, due to its tight turning circle and its three different steering modes. The TH340B has 48 degree axle turning circle and no rear tail swing, allowing it to work productively and safely in confined areas.

Steering Modes

The TH340B offers three steering modes (two wheel, crab and circle steer) to allow an operator to easily position the machine. Steering modes are selected by a single 3-position rocker switch.

Transmission

The B-Series has a purpose designed Cat transmission. The TH340B is available with a power shuttle transmission. For improved operator efficiency, a Cat designed four speed forward/three speed reverse powersyncro transmission is available.

Axles

The TH340B is fitted with Caterpillar planetary reduction axles, with four wheel braking. For improved machine performance in difficult conditions, a differential lock is available (front axle).

Hydraulic Services

Machines can be equipped with Auxiliary Hydraulic services, allowing the use of hydraulically operated work tools. Three options are available: One auxiliary hydraulic service at the boom head Two auxiliary hydraulic services at the boom head Continuous Hydraulic Flow These auxiliary hydraulic services are available as an option on the B Series through the Merchandising Arrangement (MA) structure.

Work Tools

A wide range of work tools are available to meet most job site applications. Caterpillar Telehandler Work Tools extend the versatility of the machine. Built for performance and durability, these work tools deliver high productivity, long life and excellent value. General Purpose Bucket (1.0 m³) Material Handling Bucket (1.5 m³) Multi Purpose Bucket (1.0 m³) Grapple Bucket (0.85 m³) Fixed Carriage Rotate Carriage Sideshift Carriage Wide Carriage Wide Rotate Carriage Pallet Forks Extended Shank Forks Block Forks Lift Hook Truss Boom Self-tipping Hopper Material Handling Arm Pickup Broom

Performance

In its size class, the TH340B combines productivity, maneuverability and responsiveness to deliver smooth and stable performance on the job site. The TH340B is a highly versatile machine, designed to deliver maximum performance with traditional Cat reliability, durability and productivity in the toughest working conditions.

Cost of Ownership

Extended service intervals and the reduction in service parts give Cat the lowest operating costs in the industry.

Lift Height

The TH340B can effectively and quickly place bricks, roofing materials and trusses to a maximum height of 9500 mm.

Reach

Job site obstacles present challenges demanding a machine to place loads at greater distances – the TH340B delivers.

Ease of Access

Cost of ownership starts with ease of service. All Cat Telehandler service points are readily accessible and major components are easy to reach at ground level due to overall machine design.

Maintenance

Repair options guarantee the cost of repairs up front. Diagnostic programs such as Scheduled Oil Sampling and Technical Analysis help you avoid unscheduled repairs.

Operator Station

Operators will feel relaxed and comfortable in the spacious, ergonomically designed cab. Considerable attention has been paid to control layout, making this cab an industry leader.
