JCB emissions compliant engines to launch in wheeled loaders

JCB will launch 427 and 437 wheeled loaders at Bauma, powered by Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim Cummins engines. First seen in prototype form at last year’s Intermat show, the two loaders are powered by the Cummins QSB6.7 engine, which offers a 9.4% increase in torque over the previous model. This drives through a lock-up converter and customers can choose a standard four-speed or optional five-speed transmission, which delivers a 16% drop in fuel consumption. In-cab noise levels have been reduced to just 68dB(A

JCB’s 427 and 437 loaders use Cummins power
255 JCB will launch 427 and 437 wheeled loaders at Bauma, powered by Stage IIIB/Tier 4 Interim 196 Cummins engines.

First seen in prototype form at last year’s Intermat show, the two loaders are powered by the Cummins QSB6.7 engine, which offers a 9.4% increase in torque over the previous model. This drives through a lock-up converter and customers can choose a standard four-speed or optional five-speed transmission, which delivers a 16% drop in fuel consumption. In-cab noise levels have been reduced to just 68dB(A) and the machines feature new styling on the cab, rear chassis, bodywork and counterweight.

An intelligent clutch cut-off system is standard with both transmissions, making the machines ideal for truck loading and tight site manoeuvring. The system automatically adjusts the clutch cut-off point depending on transmission output torque and brake pressure, reducing wear in the transmission and the axles. The two machines are available in parallel-lift HT specification, with a powerful Z-bar linkage or with High Lift and Super High Lift ZX arms.

Stand: A5.321/420

    Case’s 12.2tonne 621F wheeled loader will make its first appearance at a European show during bauma. Powered by a second generation common-rail Tier 4 interim engine and benefiting from the use of fuel saving SCR technology, the 621F is said to have proven ZF auto powershift transmission and heavy duty axles. The model is also equipped with a 100% locking front differential for maximum traction and reduced tyre wear. Similar to other larger Case F Series wheeled loaders, the 621F has a cooling pack directly

  • JCB introduces compact telehandler that meets emission regulations
    January 6, 2017
    JCB is expanding its telehandler line-up with the addition of the compact 525-60 at Conexpo. According to the firm, the 525-60 offers full-size telehandler performance in a compact chassis. Maximum lift height is 6m and its load capacity is 2.5 tonnes, while the 525-60 is just 1.8m wide and 1.91m tall. This allows it to be operated in sites with limited space. The 525-60 Hi-Viz replaces the rear-engined 524-50, 527-55 and the 520-50 models, and features a side-mounted engine design. This permits a low boom
