The T14R is versatile enough for applications in off-highway construction, mining, utility infrastructure, oil and gas, environmental reclamation and more.
In remote, less accessible construction sites, having the right equipment can make all the difference in meeting project deadlines, maximizing profits and just getting the job done.
Since its introduction, Prinoth's Panther T14R crawler carrier has remained a top choice for contractors looking to boost productivity and tackle work at even the most challenging job sites.
One of the standout features of the T14R is its efficiency, according to the manufacturer.
"The Panther T14R offers about 32 percent more productivity than other vehicles in the same category," said Product Manager Eric Fatyol. "This impressive performance is achieved through a combination of high payload capacity, speed and maneuverability on rough terrain."
With the ability to complete up to a third more work cycles, the T14R can significantly accelerate project timelines, allowing contractors to take on more projects and increase their revenue streams, the manufacturer said.

The T14R's 29,100 lb. payload capacity is the highest in its category, and its undercarriage is self-cleaning and won't accumulate mud and debris.
The Art of Treading Lightly
In addition to its technical capabilities, the T14R also offers environmental advantages. With a maximum speed of 8.1 mph, this crawler carrier can reach remote job sites that would otherwise require expensive and environmentally disruptive road construction or costly helicopter service. By eliminating the need for access infrastructure development, crawler carriers like the T14R help contractors minimize their environmental impact and preserve sensitive ecosystems.
The T14R's low ground pressure of approximately 3 psi ensures minimal impact on the terrain, leaving a smaller footprint than the roughly 10 psi of a human walker. This low-impact design allows the machine to navigate delicate landscapes without causing significant damage, making it an ideal choice for projects in environmentally sensitive areas.
Built for Performance
The Panther T14R features a Cat C7.1 engine, which adheres to the stringent EPA Tier IV Final and EUROMOT Stage V emissions standards. It's also powerful enough to haul the T14R's maximum payload of 29,100 lbs. at 33 percent, up a 15-degree slope.
The T14R also incorporates a unique single-touch drive-direction reset. The system allows operators to effortlessly reset cab and chassis alignment during operation, simplifying maneuvers and boosting overall efficiency. The vehicle's hydrostatic drive motor has been fine-tuned to optimize high travel speeds and improve responsiveness under high-torque demand.

With the Prinoth Panther T14R, contractors can boost productivity, increase safety and operate on virtually any terrain, meaning faster completion times, increased profitability and a competitive advantage.
An Undercarriage Overachievement
The T14R's undercarriage is engineered like no other. Rugged large steel wheels and high-travel suspension allow the vehicle to maneuver over the most uneven soil, ruts, mud and ditches with ease. Its tracks are suitable for all soil types, and its self-cleaning undercarriage won't accumulate mud and debris, allowing the equipment to operate smoothly and efficiently in all weather conditions.
The automatic track tensioning system simplifies maintenance, reducing downtime and allowing the T14R to spend more time on the job. This feature not only improves the machine's overall efficiency but also helps to extend its lifespan, providing contractors with a better return on their investment.
Gain a Broader Perspective
Safety is paramount on any construction site, and the T14R's enhanced visibility features contribute to a safer working environment. The machine's lowered and slanted engine cowling design provides operators with an unobstructed view of their surroundings, increasing confidence and reducing the risk of accidents.
"The overall architecture of the vehicle offers unmatched visibility gains, making it safer for everyone on the job site," notes Fatyol.
In addition to its visibility advantages, the T14R also is available with a rear-view camera as an optional feature, further enhancing situational awareness and minimizing blind spots. This added layer of safety not only protects the operator but also ensures the well-being of other workers on the construction site.

With its high payload capacity, maximum speed of 8.1 mph and maneuverability on rough terrain, the T14R can complete more work cycles, allowing contractors to get more work done – faster.
All-Purpose, All-Terrain, All the Time
The T14R's versatility is further enhanced by its compatibility with a wide range of specialized attachments, making it adaptable to various industries and applications. Whether focused on off-highway construction, mining, utility infrastructure, oil and gas or environmental reclamation applications, the T14R's power and flexibility make it an indispensable asset on any project.
Prinoth's commitment to innovation is evident in the T14R's advanced features, many of which are patented or patent-pending.
"We will keep pushing the boundaries to continually develop the ultimate solutions for our customers in terms of safety, reliability, sustainability, and performance," said Fatyol. "This dedication to continuous improvement ensures that the T14R remains at the forefront of the industry, offering construction companies the most advanced technology and capabilities available."
Operate in Your Comfort Zone
Operator comfort is another key consideration, as it directly impacts productivity. The T14R's ROPS/FOPS-certified cab is designed with ergonomics in mind, featuring a tilt and telescope steering wheel and foot throttle pedal system that mimics the familiarity of driving a truck. New operators can be trained to operate the Panther in a matter of minutes.
The T14R's spacious, insulated cab is quieter than other crawler carriers and equipped with air conditioning as a standard feature, helping to keep operators focused and alert throughout long shifts, even in extreme weather conditions. A built-in inclinometer provides users with a display and adjustable alarms.

The T14R's exert only about 3 psi of ground pressure, compared to the roughly 10 psi of a human walker, making it perfect to navigate environmentally sensitive landscapes without causing damage.
Setting the Pace for the Future
For construction professionals seeking a machine that can boost productivity, prioritize safety or conquer challenging terrain, the Prinoth Panther T14R is a top contender, according to the manufacturer. The T14R continues to enhance the way contractors approach their projects, ultimately leading to faster completion times, increased profitability, and a competitive edge in the market.
Whether new or used, a Prinoth Panther T14R can help construction companies better position themselves for success in an increasingly demanding industry.
"With its performance, safety features, and versatility, the T14R platform gives the industry something to build with and to build upon," said Fatyol. "That's why we call it the fastest and most productive crawler carrier on the planet."
