Advantages

• Cat diesel power: The Cat diesel delivers strong, reliable torque for lifting heavy loads and traveling on grade. Buyers benefit from proven Caterpillar durability and widespread parts availability, supporting uptime and long-term ownership value.
• 4WD traction: Four-wheel drive enhances mobility on dirt, gravel, mud, and uneven surfaces. Crews can approach the load with confidence, navigate tight staging areas, and maintain productivity in changing site conditions.
• 10,000 lb capacity: A robust 10,000-pound rating gives you the headroom to safely lift pallets of masonry block, bundles of lumber, rebar, forms, and job boxes—reducing trips and speeding materials handling.
• 55 ft lift height: Reach up to 55 feet to feed upper floors, stage roofing materials, and support multi-story framing and steel erection. The added height reduces reliance on cranes for many tasks, saving time and mobilization costs.
• Auxiliary hydraulics: Aux hydraulics open the door to a wide range of hydraulic attachments, such as swing carriages, brooms, and other job-specific tools. With the right attachment, a single TL1055D can handle more tasks and reduce rental dependencies.
• Outriggers for stability: Outriggers add stability when the application calls for additional support, helping operators work with greater confidence near the limits of lift or reach where site conditions allow their use.
• Proven Caterpillar telehandler design: The TL1055D lineage is recognized for operator-friendly controls, strong visibility, and rugged construction, supporting productivity and safety across long shifts and varied crews.

Applications

The Caterpillar TL1055D is a versatile telehandler that fits a wide range of operations. Its combination of 10,000 lb capacity, 55 ft lift height, 4WD, and auxiliary hydraulics makes it a strong performer across the following tasks:

• Commercial construction: Lift and place pallets to elevated decks, support concrete forming, and move heavy materials across the site.
• Framing and roofing: Set trusses, stage shingles and sheathing at height, and keep crews supplied without excessive downtime.
• Masonry and hardscape: Handle block, brick, and stone efficiently with the capacity to move heavier pallets in fewer trips.
• Steel erection and fabrication: Support staging of beams and hardware to upper levels and manage job boxes and rigging.
• Industrial facilities: Maintain plant operations by moving equipment, parts, and maintenance materials indoors and outdoors.
• Utilities and infrastructure: Place materials in restricted access areas and maintain productivity on mixed-terrain right-of-ways.
• Rental fleets: A Caterpillar TL1055D with Cat diesel and 4WD attracts steady demand from contractors who need reliable reach and capacity for varied projects.

Ownership Value

Purchasing a used Caterpillar TL1055D through NLEQ is a strategic choice for buyers seeking performance and value. You get the high-capability feature set of a 10,000 lb / 55 ft telehandler at a price point that makes sense for your cash flow—without taking on the rapid depreciation of new equipment. The Cat diesel and commonly supported components help streamline service and parts sourcing, which is key for maintaining uptime. When paired with auxiliary hydraulics and the right attachments, a single telehandler can replace multiple pieces of equipment on the job, lowering mobilization and simplifying logistics.

Residual value is another important factor. Caterpillar telehandlers are well known in the used market, and that brand recognition can support resale when it’s time to rotate the fleet. Durable construction, a robust frame, and field-proven systems contribute to long-term service life, which makes the TL1055D a practical, revenue-generating asset for contractors and rental businesses alike.

Why This TL1055D

Several details set this unit apart for serious buyers. The 2017 model year strikes a balance between modern capability and strong used-market value. The 2,920-hour reading indicates practical service without approaching the end of typical lifecycle expectations for a Cat diesel telehandler. The feature set is dialed in for productivity: 10,000 lb capacity to tackle heavier payloads, 55 ft of lift height to reach upper levels on multi-story builds, 4WD for reliable traction, and outriggers to enhance stability when the application calls for it. Auxiliary hydraulics multiply the machine’s usefulness with attachment compatibility, helping you keep crews productive as tasks change across the week.

Finally, the price—$84,500—reflects a compelling value for a Caterpillar TL1055D that has been tested and inspected by NLEQ. If you’re consolidating equipment, expanding capacity, or replacing a telehandler in your fleet, this unit merits a close look.
