JCB introduces compact telehandler that meets emission regulations
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

255 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 pivot point for maximum stability and increased visibility to the rear and across the boom. Power comes from a new Tier 4 Final, 2.5litre, JCB Diesel by 2278 Kohler, delivering 55kW. As with other JCB engines, there is no diesel particulate filter or SCR system but the engine still meets the Tier 4 Final emissions regulations. A simple to operate two-stage hydrostatic transmission offers travel speeds of up to 25km/h while the short wheelbase makes the 525-60 manoeuvrable. Customers can choose between JCB’s Q-fit carriage or a skid steer compatible attachment interface for ultimate versatility and fleet acceptance. All boom functions are controlled by a single servo lever joystick, with proportional control of the two-stage boom extension and the machine is available with a choice of canopy or fully glazed cab.The machine can be supplied with JCB’s LiveLink telematic monitoring system for maximum fleet visibility and maintenance control, while options include road lights and screen guards.%$Linker: 2Asset<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?><dictionary />2128020oLinkExternalwww.JCB.comJCB webfalse/EasySiteWeb/GatewayLink.aspx?alId=12802falsefalse%>
JCB has launched its first five-stage-boom Loadall telescopic handler. The 540-200 has a 20m working height and a maximum lift capacity of 4tonnes. Using the same driveline as the 540-170, the machine is powered by JCB’s 75kW Dieselmax engine. The Loadall has a four-speed powershift transmission and uses a single servo joystick to control all boom functions.
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.

A Tier 4 Final-compliant tracked loader has been unveiled by JCB at bauma 2013. The 225T machine is powered by JCB’s Ecomax engine that uses up to 9% less fuel than the previous Dieselmax version, which was, itself, said to be up to 16% more efficient than some competitor machines. In addition to the new engine, the large platform models in JCB’s 17-strong skid steer/compact loader range also get electro-hydraulic controls as used on small platform machines. This allows companies to specify H-pattern contro
