Benefits & Features

Control Layout All day operator comfort and efficiency is ensured through our easy to read control layout. Easier Access Cab entry and exit is both easier and more convenient due to the well placed handholds and step. Operator Protection The machine provides full operator security with OROPS/EROPS protection. Electronic Machine Information Display Communicates essential technical data to facilitate easier machine operation. Joystick The single joystick control with rocker switch is easier to operate and has multi-function capability. Operator Station The operator station in the new TH255 provides maximum space, good visibility and easier access to all controls. Overall, the new cab provides a comfortable environment for the operator. » Learn More Ease of Operation Ease of operation was paramount in the design of the new TH255. Lift Height The TH255 can lift and place materials to a maximum height of 5.6 m (18 ft 4 in). Reach Job site obstacles present challenges demanding a machine to place loads at greater distances - the TH255 delivers. Maneuverability The TH255 offers excellent maneuverability, due to its tight turning circle and three steering modes. Steering Modes The TH255 offers three steering modes (2-wheel, crab and 4-wheel steer) and full-time 4-wheel drive for non-slip, steady navigation to allow an operator to more easily position the machine. Performance The TH255 delivers maximum mobility and maneuverability to meet your specific job site needs. » Learn More Caterpillar Engine The TH255 features a reliable turbo charged engine, which is certified to meet the Stage IIIA (Tier 3) emission regulations. Transmission The TH255 features a hydrostatic transmission with a 56cc variable displacement piston pump and a variable displacement piston motor. Axles Durable planetary axles with fulltime 4-wheel drive are features on the TH255 providing a 40 degree steering angle for outstanding maneuverability. Power Train The TH255 Telehandler powertrain delivers ultimate performance in the toughest of working conditions. » Learn More Coupler System For added versatility, choose either the standard universal-style skid steer loader (SSL) coupling system that's compatible with many Cat skid steer loader work tools or the optional telehandler-style coupler system. When choosing the telehandler-style coupler system, a hydraulic Quick Coupler is available to allow the operator to quickly change non-hydraulic work tools without leaving the cab. Versatility Redefine the traditional role of a Telehandler with the Cat TH255. » Learn More Ease of Access Cost of ownership starts with ease of service. All Cat Telehandler service points are accessible and major components are within reach at ground level due to the machine's overall design. Daily Maintenance Routine daily maintenance is now reduced to checking fluid levels and a walkaround inspection. Service Intervals Engine oil, filter changes and routine lubrication are now only required every 500 hours. Cost of Ownership The TH255 Telehandler has been specifically designed to lower your owning and operating costs. » Learn More
