Overview

CONFIGURED FOR SUCCESS

The TL1255 is precision engineered to handle any task, offering stability, maneuverability, speed and power in any application.

Benefits

EFFICIENTLY POWERFUL

Ground level servicing for easily accessible daily checks

ALL DAY COMFORT

Superior stability and powerful hydraulics

DEFIANTLY DURABLE

Exceptional all-round visibility

Features at a Glance

Operator Station

Intuitive Control Layout

All day operator comfort and efficiency is ensured through our simple, logical control layout.

Easier Access

Cab entry and exit is both easier and more convenient due to the well placed handholds.

Operator Protection

The machine provides full operator security with OROPS or EROPS protection.

Enhanced Visibility

The TL-Series cab has improved visibility due to the use of advanced virtual design techniques.
Ease of Operation

Joystick Control

The joystick allows three simultaneous boom functions and operates the auxiliary hydraulic function. It allows the option of a second auxiliary service for the use of work tools that require more than one hydraulic service.

Flow Sharing

Three simultaneous hydraulic functions are achieved using a full flow sharing hydraulic valve. A load sensing variable displacement pump allows full hydraulic power even at low revs.
Performance

Lift Height

The TL1255 can effectively pick and place materials to a maximum height of 54.9 ft. (16.7 m).

Reach

Job site obstacles present challenges demanding a machine to place loads at greater distances - the TL1255 delivers.

Maneuverability

The TL1255 offers improved maneuverability, allowing it to work productively in confined areas.

Steering Modes

The TL1255 offers three steering modes (two wheel, crab and circle steer) to allow an operator to more easily position the machine. Steering modes are selected by a single three-position rocker switch. Steering position sensors are fitted as standard to all steering modes to be changed while moving.
Power Train

Transmission

The TL1255 features a Cat PG145 power-shift transmission.
Versatility

Quick Coupler

A manual IT quick coupler is standard on the TL-Series machines. For optimum versatility, an optional hydraulic quick coupler is available, allowing the operator to more easily change non-hydraulic work tools without leaving the cab.

Work Tools

A wide range of work tools are available to meet most job site applications. Caterpillar Telehandler Work Tools extend the versatility of the machine. Built for performance and durability, these work tools deliver high productivity, long life and excellent value.
