- Caterpillar Rough Terrain Container Handler (RTCH)
The
Caterpillar Rough Terrain Container Handler (RTCH) is used for handling
standard 20 ft and 40 ft ISO containers with a maximum weight of up to
22.6 t. This container handler is used by supply, ammunition and
transportation units. Production of the RTCH commenced in 1981 and
ceased in 1985. A total of 320 rough terrain container handlers were
delivered to the US Army.
Basically the Caterpillar RTCH it is a modified commercial Caterpillar 988B Wheel Loader without lifting arms and bucket, mated with a Caterpillar model AH60 (60,000 lb. Capacity) forklift mast. Later production models were based on the Caterpillar 988F Wheel Loader. The Caterpillar RTCH can stack and unstack containers two high. There was a variant of this container handler, fitted a low-mount fork assembly. It could lift half-height containers. The vehicle is operated by a single operator. This machine carries no armament as it is intended to operate in supply units and is designed to operate over rough terrain and in water up to 1.5 m deep. This allows the vehicle to operate at beaches.
