This 3500 kg, 13.5 m lift height Caterpillar TH360B handler – manufactured by JLG in Belgium under its alliance with Cat – is one of five B series models available from the manufacturer. The range have lift capacities from 3500 kg up to 5000 kg and reach heights from 6.1 m to 17.0 m. Cat says the machines are designed to have the lowest owning and operating costs in the industry, with extended service intervals and a reduction in the number of filters and service parts needed. Routine daily maintenance is reduced to checking fluid levels and walk–around inspection, said the company. Engine oil, filter changes and routine lubrication are only needed every 500 hours.
