TL642 Telehandler

DESCRIPTION

The TL642 is precision engineered to handle any task, offering stability, maneuverability, speed and power in any application.

Intuitive Control Layout

All day operator comfort and efficiency is ensured through our easier to use control layout.

Easier Access

Cab entry and exit is both easier and more convenient due to the well placed handholds.

Enhanced Visibility

The TL-Series cab has improved visibility due to the use of advanced virtual design techniques.

Joystick Control

The joystick allows three simultaneous boom functions enabling application customization for more than a dozen configurations.

Steering Modes

The TL642 offers three steering modes (two wheel, crab and 4-wheel steer) to allow an operator to more easily position the machine. Steering modes are selected by a single three-position rocker switch. Steering position sensors are fitted as standard to all steering modes to be changed while moving.

Features

  • Operator Protection

    The machine provides full operator security with OROPS or EROPS protection.

  • Flow Sharing

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

  • Lift Height

    The TL642 can pick and place bricks and materials to a maximum height of 42 ft. (12.8 m).

  • Reach

    Job site obstacles present challenges demanding a machine to place loads at greater distances - the TL642 delivers.

  • Maneuverability

    The TL642 offers improved maneuverability, allowing it to work productively in confined areas.

  • Transmission

    Th TL642 features a Cat Power-shift transmission.

  • Quick Coupler

    A manual IT coupler is standard on the TL-Series machines. For optimum versatility, all machines are equipped with the hydraulic quick coupler, allowing the operator to more easily change non-hydraulic work tools without leaving the cab.

  • Hydraulic Services

    Machines are equipped with Auxiliary Hydraulic services, allowing the use of hydraulically operated work tools. All TL-Series telehandlers are equipped with a single auxiliary hydraulic service and continuous hydraulic flow.

  • 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.
