255 JCB has extended its telescopic handler range, with the addition of a heavy-duty machine that has been designed for tough operating conditions. The 560-80 has a two-stage boom capable of lifting 6,000kg (12,000lb in the US market) with a maximum working height of 8.1m (26’2”), with a 1,750kg (3,750lb for the US) load capacity at full forward reach.

The 560-80 is a telehandler that delivers wheeled loader performance, making it Ideal for waste handling and other heavy digging and loading applications, says the manufacturer. A full Wastemaster specification, with additional cab and driveline protection, is available as an option. JCB Attachments has also developed a 5m3 bucket for the machine, specifically for use in low density waste handling operations.

To meet this requirement and to cope with prolonged bucket use, the 560-80 has a heavy-duty implement carriage with a broader boom nose than a standard telescopic machine. The boom is also equipped with a wheeled loader-type Z-bar linkage, to deliver increased breakout forces up to 6,800kgf.

The loader is powered by a 108kW JCB Ecomax diesel engine, which meets US EPA Tier 4 Interim/EU Stage IIIB emissions standards without the use of a diesel particulate filter (DPF).  Customers can also order the loader with JCB’s Auto Smooth Ride suspension system for load and carry work. This system reduces bounce in the boom, improving bucket load retention.

    The diesel-operated Liftlux 245-25 by JLG is well-known, like the rest of the Liftlux range, for its extremely rigid and stable triple-arm scissor, giving the operator a comfortable work environment, even when the lift is elevated at full height. Because of the model’s 500kg platform capacity and large roll-out deck that extends the platform to 5.40metres, it’s said by JLG to offer an ideal solution for use around jobsites when heavy units have to be installed at great height overhead.

  • Merlo’s little wonder
    January 6, 2017
    Opposite in the size scale to Merlo’s other Intermat 2012 machines, the ‘Grand Roto’ 60.24 MCSS and the 40.30MCSS, is the tiny P25.6 SuperCompact telehandler. Only 1,800mm wide, the P25.6 is said to fit into the smallest of site applications. Although being small aids manoeuvrability, Merlo says this has not led to a compromise on cab comfort. The machine’s cab is said to have exactly the same 995m size as all the other Merlo machines. Merlo claims that, unlike many other compact handlers, the P25.6 has exc
