Cat TL642
The TL642 is one of four machines in Caterpillar’s TL Series of telehandlers.
The 6,500-pound capacity TL642 features a high-pivot boom that can take 700 pounds to its maximum forward reach of 30 feet.
This is comparatively low, due in part to the Integrated Tool Carrier quick coupler.
This system was designed to interface with a wide range of Caterpillar work tools, many of which can be used on telehandlers, backhoe loaders, and small wheel loaders.
The Cat-produced 99-hp 3054 engine is located in a side-mounted engine compartment and powers a ZF transmission. Under the hood you will also find all Cat hoses and filters. “This machine does have Cat DNA in it,” says Greg Bennett of Caterpillar.
The cooling package is located in the back of the machine, which is sectional, meaning engine cooling and oil and hydraulic cooling are separate.
Everything is accessible from the ground, including adding and monitoring fluids, changing filters, and checking the engine for whatever is needed before starting operation.
The unit features a standard 50-inch carriage with 40-inch forks. Availability of a work platform varies widely from dealers, but it is approved for use.
