Performance
The TH330B delivers high performance to meet your specific job site needs.

Lift Height. The TH330B can effectively and

quickly place bricks, roofing materials and trusses
to a maximum height of 7200 mm.
Reach. Job site obstacles present challenges
demanding a machine to place loads at greater
distances – the TH330B delivers.
Maneuverability. The TH330B offers excellent
maneuverability, due to its tight turning circle and
its three different steering modes.
The TH330B has 50 degree axle turning circle and
no rear tail swing, allowing it to work productively
and safely in confined areas.
Steering Modes. The TH330B offers three steering
modes (two wheel, crab and circle steer) to allow
an operator to easily position the machine.
Steering modes are selected by a single 3-position
rocker switch.
