Prinoth Launches Panther T9r Crawler Carrier
Prinoth, a company in crawler carriers, has launched the Panther T9r, the latest addition to its compact, rotational crawler carrier lineup.
This new model delivers enhanced payload capacity, operator comfort and safety features, reinforcing Prinoth’s commitment to efficiency and innovation.
“The Panther T9r represents a major leap in compact crawler carrier design,” Doug Little, director of sales, crawler carriers for Prinoth, said.
“We’ve listened to our customers and developed a machine that not only boosts productivity but also prioritizes operator comfort and safety.”
Key Features of the Panther T9r
- Increased payload capacity: The T9r supports a 17,637-pound payload, significantly improving material transport efficiency and reducing trips on jobsites.
- Larger dump box: With a heaped capacity of 6.5 cubic yards, the T9r allows for higher material loads, enhancing productivity.
- Advanced cab design: A redesigned operator-focused cab offers:
- Standard air-ride seat, a unique feature in the market.
- 7-inch touchscreen display with dial job-control and engine RPM control.
- Cruise control to reduce operator fatigue on long hauls.
- Improved legroom and ergonomic controls.
- Robust joystick design for rotation and bed dump control.
- Sun visor and enhanced climate control for all-weather operation.
- Enhanced safety features:
- Red handrails for better accessibility and safety.
- Overload alert system to prevent excessive loading.
- Dump box position sensor for increased operational awareness.
- Telematics-ready: Integrated with Prinoth Connect, enabling real-time fleet management, vehicle health monitoring and maintenance scheduling.
- Low environmental impact: Despite increased capacity, the T9r maintains a low ground pressure of 5.3 psi when fully loaded, minimizing disruption to sensitive terrains.
- Powerful and efficient engine: The Caterpillar C4.4 diesel engine (201 hp at 2,200 rpm) meets Environmental Protection Agency Tier 4 Final and EU Stage V emissions standards.
Built for Versatility Across Industries
Designed for applications in construction, oil and gas, utilities and environmental remediation, the Panther T9r combines performance with advanced features, making it an ideal solution for transporting materials in challenging terrains.
A standout feature of the T9r is its payload overload sensor, which works seamlessly with Prinoth’s telematics system. This is particularly valuable for rental fleets and fleet managers, as it helps monitor machine usage and prevent overloading.
The system provides real-time alerts on the vehicle’s touchscreen when the payload exceeds its 17,000-pound capacity, helping extend the lifespan of dump boxes, planetary drives, tracks and other key components while lowering total cost of ownership.
“With the T9r, we’re not just introducing a new crawler carrier — we’re redefining industry standards for performance, efficiency and sustainability,” Little said.
