Ease of OperationEase of operation was paramount in the design of the new TH220B. The single joystick, withits intuitive, modulated, hydraulic functions, and the new Cat electronic machine informationdisplay are designed to maximize operator efficiency.
Lift Height. The TH220B can effectivelyand quickly place bricks, roofingmaterials and trusses to a maximumheight of 6.1 m (20 ft).
Reach. Job site obstacles presentchallenges demanding a machineto place loads at greater distances –the TH220B delivers.
Maneuverability. The TH220B offersexcellent maneuverability, due to itstight turning circle and its three differentsteering modes.
The TH220B has a 50 degree axlesteering angle and no rear tail swing,allowing it to work productively andsafely in confined areas.
Steering Modes. The TH220B offersthree steering modes (two wheel, craband circle steer) to allow an operatorto easily position the machine. Steeringmodes are selected by a single three-position rocker switch. Steering positionsensors are fitted as standard to all steeringmodes to be changed while moving.

PerformanceThe TH220B delivers high performance to meet your specific job site needs.
High Torque Rise Engine. The Cat 3054EElectronic engine is fully compliantwith the latest round of worldwideemissions regulations. While continuingto deliver maximum performance itfeatures improved timing, reduced smokeand exceptional service improvements.For improved sound characteristics,a venturi tailpipe has been packagedinside the engine enclosure.
The cooling system has been designed towork in the most challenging conditions.
Electronic engines deliver:
• Improved low idle performance
• Improved fuel consumption
• Improved cold start
• Increased diagnostic and securitycapability
Transmission. The TH220B has apurpose designed Caterpillar fourspeed forward, three speed reversepowersyncro transmission.
Axles. The TH220B is fitted withCaterpillar planetary reduction axles.
For improved machine performance indifficult conditions, a differential lockis available (front axle).
