Caterpillar returns to LAMMA in 2017 to launch a new range of models, including the Cat D Series range of Ag Handlers, a new family of telehandlers.
LAMMA sees the company launch four new models of Ag Handlers, ranging in size from 3 to 4 tonnes, and with reach options between 6 and 10 meters.
The models include:
- TH306D Ag Handler: a new compact 3t telehandler that’s great for getting into smaller spaces and limited-clearance sheds, but still boasts a 6m reach
- TH3510D Ag Handler: at 3.5t, this provides larger contractors with a mighty 10m reach, in a three-section machine.
- TH408D Ag Handler: a replacement for the Cat TH407C. It’s the most popular size class, 4t, 8m reach.
- TH357D Ag Handler: a replacement for the TH337C. This is another popular model option thanks to its 3.5t, 7m reach combination.
Also on show will be a new mini-excavator, the Cat 304.5 XTC. Interpreted as ‘extra tool carrier’, the machine sports a skid-steer interface onto which extra attachments from Caterpillar’s extensive range of work tools can be added.
Another machine on show will be the 926M small wheel loader, which also carries the ‘Ag Handler’ tag and features a step-less, four-range, electronically controlled, intelligent hydrostatic drive system.
Reinforcing the breadth of the agricultural range, two further machines on show will emphasize established Cat product features such as manoeuvrability and flexibility: the 216B3 skid-steer loader, and the 259D2 compact track loader.
Caterpillar is on stand B16 at LAMMA ’17, held at the East of England showground, Peterborough, on 18-19 January 2017.
