Intuitive Control layout
All day operator comfort and efficiency is ensured through our simple, logical control layout.
Electronic Machine Information Display
Communicates essential technical data to facilitate easier machine operation.
Joystick
The joystick is capable of three simultaneous boom functions making machine operation easy. All functions are fully modulated.
Easy Access
Cab entry and exit is both easy and safe due to the well placed handholds and step.
Operator Protection
The machine provides full operator security with ROPS/FOPS protection.
Seat
A variety of seats are available, tailored to meet the requirements of the operator and applications.
Excellent visibility
The B Series cab has superb visibility due to the use of advanced virtual design techniques.
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 that require continuous flow for long periods of time.
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.
Lift Height
The TH580B can effectively and quickly place bricks, roofing materials and trusses to a maximum height of 17m.
Reach
With 12.7m the TH580B overcomes the challenges presented by jobsite obstacles and enables the operator to place material exactly where it is needed.
Maneuverability
The TH580B offers excellent maneuverability, due to its tight turning circle and its three different steering modes.The TH580B has 48 degree axle turning circle and no rear tail swing, allowing it to work productively and safely in confined areas.
Steering Modes
The TH580B 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.
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, they also feature improved timing, reduced smoke and exceptional service improvements. For improved sound characteristics, a venturi tailpipe has been packaged inside the engine enclosure. Electronic engines deliver:The 3054E engine is offered in two configurations for the TH580B: a 74.5 kW (99 hp) option or a 92 kW (120 hp) option.
Transmission
The TH580B has a purposed designed, Caterpillar, four speed forward, three speed reverse powersyncro transmission with powershift controls.
Axles
The TH580B 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).
Quick Coupler
An IT interface is standard on the B Series. It is available in both a manual and a hydraulic version.For optimum versatility, machines can be equipped with the hydraulic quick coupler, allowing the operator to quickly and easily change non-hydraulic work tools without leaving the cab.
Hydraulic Services
Machines are equipped with Auxiliary Hydraulic services at the boom head, allowing the use of hydraulically operated work tools.
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 m3/1.3 yd3))Material Handling Bucket (1.5 m3/1.95 yd3)Multi Purpose Bucket (1.0 m3/1.3yd3)Grapple Bucket (0.85 m3/1.1yd3)Fixed CarriageRotate CarriageSideshift CarriageWide CarriageWide Rotate CarriagePallet ForksBlock ForksLift HookTruss BoomSelf-tipping HopperMaterial Handling Arm
Tow Hitches
A range of Tow Hitches are available to meet local market regulations. All Cat Telehandler models come with an ISO10532 rated retrieval point as standard, fully conforming to EN280
Machine Configurations
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.
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.
Reduced Componentry
The combined hydraulic/transmission oil filter requires changing at 1000 hours.With the reduction in the number of filters and extended service intervals, owning and operating costs are the lowest in the industry.
Machine Security System
Secure your investment with Caterpillar's Machine Security System (MSS), a programmable key system that provides maximum machine security for Cat Telehandler owners.· MSS disables machine by interacting with the machine's Electronic Control Modules (ECM)· Keys fit all existing Cat machines (including machines without MSS)· Each machine can store up to 50 key identifications· Each key can be configured to operate a certain range of machines or enable operation for a certain period of time
Access
All Cat Telehandler service points, including the combined transmission/hydraulic oil filter, are readily accessible and major components are easy to reach at ground level due to the overall machine design.A cab mounted service point allows access to the fuel fill, hydraulic oil fill, washer bottle, fuse box and cab air filter for routine checks.
