Dieci Hercules 210.10 21T Mining Telehandler
The Dieci Hercules 210.10 Mining Telehandler is the most powerful Dieci telehandler available in Australia, purpose-built for the demanding conditions of mining and resource operations. With a maximum lifting capacity of 21 tonnes and a maximum lift height of 10.2 metres, the Hercules 210.10 is designed to safely handle oversized equipment, bulk materials, and heavy loads across open-cut and underground mines, processing plants, and remote resource sites.
Engineered for strength, stability and continuous performance, this telehandler is ideal for the harsh conditions of Australian mining, including WA, QLD, NSW, and regional mining operations. Its reinforced chassis and robust boom provide exceptional load control, while maintaining precise handling and stability on uneven, rocky or challenging terrain.
For optimal efficiency and site productivity, the Hercules 210.10 is equipped with hydrostatic transmission and a central differential, which automatically compensates for differences in wheel movement between the front and rear axles. This ensures smooth operation, maximised traction, and improved fuel efficiency, critical for high-use mining environments.
The telehandler also features a LOAD SENSING – FLOW SHARING proportional distributor with electronic control, delivering precise and responsive hydraulic performance for boom operation and attachments. The boom-raising regenerative system increases lifting speed while maintaining safe operation, and the exclusive Dieci “inching” pedal command allows operators to manoeuvre the telehandler at slow speeds while keeping the engine at full throttle, providing maximum control in tight or complex mining work areas.
Operator safety and comfort are prioritised with a ROPS and FOPS approved cab, designed to provide protection, visibility, and ergonomic comfort during long shifts. Optional upgraded air conditioning helps combat harsh heat and dusty conditions common in Australian mines, reducing operator fatigue and supporting productivity throughout extended operating hours.
With its combination of industry-leading 21-tonne lifting capacity, advanced hydrostatic systems, boom performance, and mining-specific control features, the Dieci Hercules 210.10 Mining Telehandler is a reliable and versatile solution for Australian mining companies seeking a high-capacity, heavy-duty machine capable of performing safely and efficiently under extreme site conditions.
We sell a full range of mining telehandlers and heavy duty 13 to 23t telehandlers in Australia.

Hercules 210.10 Mining Telehandler | Frequently Asked Questions
What engine powers the Hercules 210.10 mining telehandler?
The Dieci Hercules 210.10 mining telehandler is equipped with a powerful 173hp / 129 kW diesel engine that is manufactured by FPT. The turbo charged engine is Stage IIIA/Tier 3 emissions compliant, resulting in an exceptionally powerful, reliable and efficient heavy-duty telehandler that is well suited to the tough conditions found on remote Australian mine sites.
How much can the Hercules 210.10 mining telehandler lift?
The Dieci Hercules 210.10 mining telehandler delivers extraordinary heavy-lifting performance, with a maximum lifting capacity of up to 21 tonnes (21,000 kg), placing it among the most powerful telehandlers available for demanding Australian mining and industrial applications. This immense lifting capability allows for the safe handling and precise positioning of large structural components, heavy process equipment, and oversized loads that are well beyond the scope of conventional telehandlers.
Purpose-built for large-scale mining operations, the Hercules 210.10 is ideally suited to maintenance shutdowns, processing plant construction, infrastructure upgrades, and the installation of heavy machinery. Typical applications include positioning crushers, conveyors, mills, pumps, generators, transformers, and other major mechanical components used throughout mine sites and processing facilities. Combining exceptional lifting performance with the mobility and versatility of a telehandler, the Hercules 210.10 can perform many heavy handling tasks that would otherwise require larger lifting equipment, helping to improve productivity, reduce downtime, and minimise reliance on cranes across mining and industrial operations.
How big are the fuel and hydraulics tanks on the Hercules 210.10 mining telehandler?
The Dieci Hercules 210.10 mining telehandler features a large 207L diesel fuel tank and an equally large 246L hydraulic tank. The powerful hydraulic system has a pump capacity of 170L per minute and operates at pressures up to 35 MPa (5076 psi) making for an exceptionally powerful telehandler well suited to a variety of heavy-duty tasks regularly encountered on Australian mine sites.
What are some examples what the Hercules 210.10 mining can be used for on Australian mine sites?
On Australian mine sites and major industrial projects, the Dieci Hercules 210.10 telehandler is deployed wherever exceptionally heavy loads must be lifted and positioned with accuracy, without immediately relying on large mobile cranes. With its enormous 21-tonne lifting capacity, the Hercules 210.10 is ideally suited to handling some of the largest components encountered during mining, processing, and infrastructure projects.
Typical applications include the installation and maintenance of crushers, mills, conveyors, transformers, generators, tanks, and other oversized process plant equipment. It is equally capable of handling large steel structures, heavy pipework, modular plant assemblies, and precast components during mine expansions, shutdowns, and infrastructure upgrades.
Across large-scale Australian operations, machines in this class are commonly utilised for heavy logistics and shutdown support, transporting and precisely positioning major mechanical components throughout a site. By combining outstanding lifting performance with the mobility and versatility of a telehandler, the Hercules 210.10 enables many heavy handling tasks to be completed efficiently, reducing dependence on cranes, minimising downtime, and improving productivity across mining and industrial operations.
What steering modes does the Hercules 210.10 have and what are they used for?
The Dieci Hercules 210.10 mining telehandler is equipped with three steering modes, two-wheel steer, four-wheel steer, and crab steer; providing the versatility required to operate efficiently across demanding Australian mine sites.
Two-wheel steer offers stable handling and is ideal for travelling longer distances around site and transporting loads between work areas.
Four-wheel steer significantly reduces the machine’s turning radius, allowing operators to manoeuvre the 21-tonne-capacity telehandler more effectively in confined areas such as processing plants, workshops, and shutdown zones.
Crab steer enables the front and rear wheels to turn in the same direction, allowing the machine to move diagonally. This mode is particularly useful when positioning large components alongside structures, conveyors, and process equipment, providing precise load placement while maintaining excellent control and minimising the need for repeated repositioning.
