Advantages

• Cat Diesel Power: The Cat diesel engine offers the durability and reliability that construction fleets demand. Known for steady torque and long service intervals, Cat power helps keep operating costs predictable and uptime high.
• 10,000# Capacity: The 10,000-pound rated capacity allows you to handle heavy pallets, structural members, masonry packs, and other dense loads with confidence. This capacity range fits a wide variety of commercial and industrial tasks without overstretching the machine.
• 55' Lift Height: A 55-foot lift height provides the reach needed for multi-story builds, roof work, and elevated staging. It reduces re-handling and re-positioning, allowing crews to place materials exactly where they are needed.
• Outriggers: Integrated outriggers contribute to stability when operating at height or near load limits. They support better load chart performance and help operators maintain precise control in demanding lifts.
• Quick Coupler: With a quick coupler, you can change attachments efficiently, which improves utilization across shifts. Shift from forks to other compatible tools quickly to match changing tasks and reduce downtime.
• Heated & Air Conditioned Cab: A comfortable operator is a productive operator. Heating and air conditioning ensure year-round comfort, cleaner visibility in extreme temperatures, and better focus during long days.

Applications

The Caterpillar TL1055D telehandler is an ideal choice across multiple sectors where reach, capacity, and maneuverability are essential. Contractors, industrial facilities, and maintenance crews value the blend of 10,000# capacity and 55' lift height to tackle material handling, staging, and placement tasks efficiently.

• Commercial Construction: Move and place pallets of block, steel, and lumber at elevation; support framing, siding, and glazing crews; handle roof loads and staging.
• Industrial Sites: Load, unload, and position equipment or materials around plants, yards, and on-site storage areas with confidence.
• Infrastructure & Utilities: Support crews with elevated material placement for bridges, stations, or utility structures, relying on outriggers for added stability where needed.
• Property Development: Improve logistics on large sites by bringing materials directly to point-of-use, reducing manual handling and crane dependency for certain tasks.

With its strong capacity and long reach, this TL1055D reduces the number of machine moves required to service a jobsite. The quick coupler helps you pivot between tasks rapidly, while the cab’s Heat & AC make it a practical choice for climates that swing from hot summers to cold winters. In short, it’s a well-equipped machine that fits the day-to-day demands of modern jobsites.

Ownership Value

Choosing a used Caterpillar TL1055D telehandler offers clear value. You get Caterpillar build quality and the Cat diesel power advantage at a fraction of new-equipment cost. The 2018 model year positions this unit as a late-model machine with contemporary design and operator amenities, helping your team work efficiently and comfortably.

Key drivers of ownership value include parts availability, proven Cat support networks, and the TL1055D’s strong market reputation. The quick coupler expands utilization by enabling fast attachment changes, so you can keep the machine productive across multiple tasks and crews. Outriggers and the 55' lift height allow the operator to work confidently at reach, often reducing the need for multiple pieces of equipment to complete the same set of tasks.

For fleet managers, the 10,000# capacity hits a practical sweet spot—substantial enough for heavy construction materials yet versatile for day-to-day site logistics. Combined with the controlled operating environment of a heated & air conditioned cab, this machine supports consistent output across seasons, reducing weather-related productivity dips.
