Perkins 854E-E34TA Engine – Compatible Applications, Specs, and Replacement Guide

Introduction

The Perkins 854E-E34TA engine is one of the most widely used compact industrial power units across the construction, aerial lift, and material-handling sectors. Known for its Tier 4 Final emissions compliance, exceptional fuel efficiency, and robust torque curve, it powers a range of equipment including telehandlers, boom lifts, loaders, and mini excavators.

Whether you’re operating a Genie boom lift, Haulotte telehandler, Wacker Neuson excavator, or Terex ASV loader, this engine is a proven performer for demanding industrial and rental applications.

🔧 Perkins 854E-E34TA Engine Overview

Configuration: 4-cylinder, 3.4 L turbocharged diesel
Rated Power: 74–120 HP (55–90 kW) depending on configuration
Emissions: Tier 4 Final / EU Stage IIIB compliant (DOC + SCR, no DPF)
Fuel System: Common-rail direct injection
Cooling System: Water-cooled with integrated EGR
Applications: Compact equipment requiring high torque at low RPM

The engine’s compact frame and strong low-end torque make it ideal for mobile hydraulic systems — a reason manufacturers like Genie, Haulotte, and Wacker Neuson use it extensively.

Each of these models uses the 854E-E34TA’s torque and reliability for smooth hydraulic performance in harsh job-site conditions.

🧠 Why Choose New Surplus Over Rebuilt Engines

At RebuiltCaterpillarEngines.com, we stock new surplus Perkins 854E-E34TA engines — never used, never rebuilt.
Compared to rebuilt units offered online, our new surplus engines have:

Less than 1 % failure rate (vs 50 % rebuilt)
Full OEM components — injectors, turbocharger, and ECM include
Global compatibility with multiple OEM configurations (JLG, Genie, Haulotte, Wacker Neuson, etc.)

If you currently run a fleet that includes any of the machines above, switching to a new surplus engine drastically reduces downtime and service cost.

🔩 Installation & Fitment Tips

Retain existing flywheel and bell housing — reuse OEM parts if dimensions differ between machine frames.
Check ECM compatibility — older Tier 3 units may require ECM remap or reuse.
Swap intake/exhaust manifolds where machine-specific orientation is needed.
Ensure SCR / DEF system integration for Tier 4 Final compliance.

Our technical team can advise exact configuration matches to ensure a smooth replacement.
