Advantages

• Cat Diesel Power: The Cat diesel engine provides the dependable torque and throttle response telehandler operators expect when lifting and carrying heavy materials. Cat power is widely respected for longevity, parts availability, and service support, helping you minimize downtime and keep operating costs predictable.
• Heated & Air Conditioned Cab: A comfortable operator is a productive operator. The heated and air conditioned cab helps maintain visibility, alertness, and control in both hot and cold weather. This translates into more consistent performance across long shifts and variable seasons.
• Outriggers for Stability: When you are placing heavy loads or reaching toward the top of the boom’s range, stability matters. Outriggers add a layer of confidence for operators by helping stabilize the machine during critical picks and placements, particularly on uneven ground common to active jobsites.
• 10000# Capacity: A 10,000 lb capacity opens the door to a wide range of tasks—moving full pallets of brick or block, handling heavy bundles of lumber, supporting formwork, or staging steel and mechanical components. The capacity aligns well with general contracting needs and the demands of masonry, framing, and industrial projects.
• 55' Lift Height: With up to 55 feet of lift height, the TL1055D can place materials where they are needed—upper floors, rooftops, mezzanines, and elevated work platforms—reducing manual rehandling and crane dependencies for many routine tasks.
• Quick Coupler Efficiency: The quick coupler makes changing attachments faster and more consistent, keeping crews productive. Swap from forks to other compatible tools to adapt quickly as the day’s tasks evolve, reducing idle time and improving utilization across shifts.
• Caterpillar Build Quality: Caterpillar’s engineering, component quality, and support network are proven across fleets large and small. The TL1055D benefits from this heritage with durable structures, intuitive controls, and service-friendly design that contributes to long service life.
• 2018 Model Year with 2,985 Hours: A later-model machine with sub-3,000 hours provides a practical balance of price and remaining service life. It positions you to capture productivity gains without the upfront cost of a new machine.

Applications

The Caterpillar TL1055D Telehandler is designed for high-value work across construction and industrial environments where reach and capacity are essential. Typical users include general contractors, specialty trades, and plant maintenance teams that require a reliable material handler capable of adapting to multiple tasks in one shift.

• Commercial Construction: Move and place palletized materials, wall panels, and roofing supplies up to 55 feet, supporting faster staging and installation.
• Masonry and Concrete: Handle full pallets of block, brick, and cement products, and lift shoring or formwork efficiently with 10,000 lb capacity.
• Framing and Roofing: Stage trusses, lumber packs, and roofing sheets where crews need them, reducing manual handling and jobsite congestion.
• Industrial Facilities: Support plant shutdowns and maintenance with safe material placement at height and precise load control.
• Infrastructure Jobsites: Manage guardrail sections, precast components, and material delivery across uneven terrain with stability support from outriggers.
• Equipment Rental Fleets: The TL1055D’s recognized brand and configuration make it a strong rental asset with broad appeal, dependable utilization, and strong residuals.

With the quick coupler, operators can capitalize on a range of compatible attachments to tailor the telehandler for forks-based material handling or other job-specific needs. That adaptability helps maximize daily utilization and improves return on investment.
