Hercules 230.10 23t Mining Telehandler
The Dieci Hercules 230.10 23t Mining Telehandler is the most powerful telehandler in Dieci’s mining range, purpose-built for Australia’s toughest mining environments. With an exceptional 23-tonne maximum load capacity and an impressive 10-metre lift height, this heavy-duty mining telehandler is engineered to handle extreme loads with confidence, stability and precision — earning its reputation as the true giant of its class.
Designed for continuous operation in demanding underground and surface mining applications, the Hercules 230.10 delivers outstanding durability and reliability. It is backed by a 3-year / 3,000-hour manufacturer’s warranty, providing Australian mine operators with long-term peace of mind and reduced downtime.
Power is delivered through a robust hydrostatic transmission with central differential, automatically compensating for wheel speed differences between axles. This system reduces mechanical stress, improves traction on uneven mine sites, and enhances overall fuel efficiency — a critical advantage in high-duty mining operations.
Advanced hydraulic technology further sets the Hercules 230.10 apart. A load-sensing, flow-sharing proportional distributor with electronic control ensures smooth, responsive operation, while the boom-raising regenerative system significantly increases lifting speed and productivity. The exclusive inching pedal allows ultra-slow, precise machine movement even at full engine RPM, giving operators exceptional control during complex lifting and positioning tasks.
We supply mining telehandlers and machines across Australia, with sales and support available in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth and regional locations. Whether for underground mining, materials handling, infrastructure projects or heavy industrial applications, the Dieci Hercules 230.10 is a proven solution for Australia’s mining sector.

Hercules 230.10 Mining Telehandler | Frequently Asked Questions
What engine powers the Hercules 230.10 mining telehandler?
The Dieci Hercules 230.10 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 and tunnelling projects.
How much can the Hercules 230.10 mining telehandler lift?
The Dieci Hercules 230.10 mining telehandler delivers exceptional heavy-lifting performance, with a maximum capacity of up to 23 tonnes (23,000 kg), placing it among the highest-capacity telehandlers available for demanding Australian mining and industrial applications. Its immense lifting capability enables the safe handling and precise positioning of oversized plant components, heavy machinery, and structural materials that are beyond the capabilities of conventional telehandlers.
Purpose-built for large-scale mining operations, the Hercules 230.10 is ideally suited to maintenance shutdowns, processing plant construction, and infrastructure upgrades. Typical applications include positioning crushers, mills, conveyors, generators, transformers, tanks, and heavy pipework. Combining outstanding lifting performance with the mobility and versatility of a telehandler, the Hercules 230.10 helps improve productivity, minimise downtime, and reduce reliance on cranes during heavy maintenance and construction activities.
How big are the fuel and hydraulics tanks on the Hercules 230.10 mining telehandler?
The Dieci Hercules 230.10 mining 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 remote Australian mine sites.
What are some examples what the Hercules 230.10 can be used for on Australian mine sites?
With its enormous 23-tonne lifting capacity, the Dieci Hercules 230.10 is engineered to handle some of the most demanding lifting applications encountered on Australian mine sites and industrial facilities. It is ideally suited to positioning and transporting major plant components, structural steel, and oversized equipment during mine expansions, shutdowns, and infrastructure upgrades.
The Hercules 230.10 can accurately place crushers, mills, conveyors, generators, transformers, tanks, heavy pipework, and modular process plant assemblies, often reducing the need for larger mobile cranes for many lifting tasks. Its exceptional lifting capability also makes it invaluable for heavy logistics and maintenance activities across processing plants, workshops, and bulk materials handling facilities.
Typical applications include maintenance shutdowns, processing plant construction, equipment installation, and infrastructure upgrades. By combining immense lifting power with the mobility and versatility of a telehandler, the Hercules 230.10 helps improve productivity, streamline heavy material handling, and minimise downtime across mining and industrial operations.
What steering modes does the Hercules 230.10 mining telehandler have?
The Dieci Hercules 230.10 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 and industrial facilities.
Two-wheel steer delivers stable handling and is ideal for travelling longer distances around site and transporting heavy loads between work areas. Four-wheel steer significantly reduces the turning radius, allowing operators to manoeuvre the 23-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 valuable when positioning large components alongside crushers, conveyors, tanks, pipework, and process equipment within restricted work areas. The result is more precise load placement, improved control, and fewer machine repositioning movements, helping to increase productivity and minimise downtime across mining operations.
What is the warranty on the Dieci Hercules 230.10 mining telehandler
The Dieci Hercules 230.10 mining telehandler comes with Dieci Australia’s comprehensive 3 year / 3000 hour warranty. Dieci Australia has a comprehensive parts and service network that covers the whole country including regional Australia; so no matter where in the country you are located, you covered by Dieci Australia’s comprehensive parts and service network.
