Overview
The Caterpillar TH406C Telehandler is a versatile, mid-sized machine designed for heavy lifting and rugged job site performance. Manufactured in 2012, this model combines Caterpillar’s trusted engineering with a compact design that fits tight spaces.
Unlike a Caterpillar mini excavator for sale, which focuses on digging and trenching, this telehandler is your go-to for lifting, placing, and transporting materials efficiently on-site.
What is the Caterpillar TH406C Telehandler?
The Caterpillar TH406C is a rough terrain telehandler. It works like a forklift but with more reach and strength. It merges the crane's reach with the lifting capacity of a forklift. This makes it ideal for raising and positioning large objects in difficult-to-reach locations.
