The new telehandlers offer standard rearview cameras that activate while backing up or can be on permanently through a new full color LCD monitor.Caterpillar
Caterpillar is bringing four new telehandlers – the TH0642, TH0842, TH1055 and TH1255 – to make their debut at this year’s World of Concrete trade show in Las Vegas.
The new lineup of TH series telehandlers will replace Caterpillar’s previous TL models, which first debuted in 2007 and were manufactured by JLG. The new models range from 6,000 pounds of capacity and 42 feet of lift height on the TH0642 to 12,000 pounds and 55 feet of lift height on the TH1255.
Operators will also benefit from a pilot-controlled joystick for multi-function performance and standard auxiliary hydraulics for hydraulic Cat attachments.

Since I have actually used one of these, driven and operated the hoist, I think I have a valid opinion. I am not a fan of all of these electronics on machinery. I understand it takes time to become skilled in using them, and the electronics helps make it easier for beginners to use. But I enjoy all the mechanical toggle switches, and being able to control the machine how I like to. I especially do not like when the electronics freeze the whole machine, which will probably happen with these new displays. In the end, a maintained example from the past will do better than the newer models. Just wait until they can freeze the equipment like John Deere.
