Hercules 230.10 23t Telehandler
The Hercules 230.10 23t Telehandler stands as the most powerful telehandler in Dieci’s heavy-duty telehandler range, with a remarkable 23-tonne load capacity and a towering reach of 10 meters. Built for extreme heavy-duty tasks and tough Australian conditions, this machine is engineered for safety, strength, stability, and reliability, making it the ultimate “Giant” in its class.
Equipped with a hydrostatic transmission and central differential, the Hercules 230.10 efficiently compensates for wheel speed differences between the axles, reducing strain and maximizing fuel efficiency.
The Hercules 230.10 23t Telehandler also features advanced technology, including a load sensing and flow sharing proportional distributor with electronic control and a boom-raising regenerative system that accelerates lifting. Additionally, the exclusive “inching” pedal enables slow, precise movement even at full engine power, ensuring optimal control in demanding environments.
The Hercules 23 ton telehandler includes a 3 year / 3000 hour warranty with parts and service available Australia wide. We have parts and service agents in Sydney, Brisbane, Melbourne and Perth as well as regional dealer network.
We offer a range of heavy-duty telehandlers with lift capacities between 13 and 23 tonnes, and also smaller machines with lift capacities in the 2 to 7 tonne range.

Hercules 230.10 Telehandler | Frequently Asked Questions
What engine powers the Hercules 230.10 telehandler?
The Dieci Hercules 230.10 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 large construction, civil, and infrastructure projects.
How much can the Hercules 230.10 telehandler lift?
The Dieci Hercules 230.10 telehandler delivers exceptional heavy-lifting capability, with a maximum lift capacity of up to 23 tonnes (23,000 kg), making it one of the highest-capacity telehandlers available for demanding Australian construction and industrial projects. This immense lifting performance allows operators to safely handle and accurately position large structural components, precast concrete sections, heavy machinery, and oversized materials that are typically beyond the reach of conventional telehandlers.
Built for large-scale construction, civil infrastructure, and industrial developments, the Hercules 230.10 excels in applications such as structural steel erection, bridge construction, precast concrete installation, and heavy equipment placement. Typical tasks include handling major steel beams and columns, generators, transformers, tanks, heavy pipework, and modular building assemblies. By combining outstanding lifting performance with the mobility and flexibility of a telehandler, the Hercules 230.10 provides an efficient alternative for many heavy handling tasks, helping contractors improve productivity, reduce project timelines, and minimise reliance on large cranes and additional lifting equipment.
How big are the fuel and hydraulics tanks on the Hercules 230.10 telehandler?
The Dieci Hercules 230.10 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 large-scale construction, civil, and and infrastructure projects.
What are some examples what the Hercules 230.10 can be used for on Australian job sites?
With its enormous 23-tonne lifting capacity, the Dieci Hercules 230.10 is designed to tackle some of the most demanding lifting applications found on major Australian construction and infrastructure projects. It is ideally suited to handling and positioning large structural steel beams, columns, and precast concrete elements, as well as installing bridge sections, culverts, and other heavy components used in civil construction.
On large industrial and commercial developments, the Hercules 230.10 can accurately place generators, transformers, tanks, heavy pipework, process equipment, and modular building sections, often eliminating the need for larger mobile cranes for many lifting tasks. Its exceptional lifting capability also makes it a valuable asset for ports, logistics hubs, warehouses, energy projects, and manufacturing facilities where oversized loads must be moved and positioned efficiently across expansive sites.
Typical applications include bridge and road infrastructure projects, stadium and high-rise construction, rail and tunnel developments, precast concrete operations, and large-scale industrial facilities. By combining immense lifting power with the manoeuvrability and versatility of a telehandler, the Hercules 230.10 helps improve site productivity, streamline material handling, and keep major projects on schedule.
What steering modes does the Hercules 230.10 have and what are they used for?
The Dieci Hercules 230.10 telehandler is equipped with three steering modes; two-wheel steer, four-wheel steer, and crab steer which provide the versatility required to operate efficiently across demanding Australian construction and infrastructure projects.
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 21-tonne-capacity telehandler more effectively in confined spaces such as structural steel erection zones, precast yards, and busy construction sites.
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 beams, precast concrete elements, pipework, and modular building components alongside structures or within restricted work areas. The result is more precise load placement, improved control, and fewer machine repositioning movements, helping to increase productivity on site.
What is the warranty on the Dieci Hercules 230.10 telehandler
The Dieci Hercules 230.10 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.
