JCB’s updated loader range

JCB is updating four of its wheeled loaders, introducing DNA from the range-topping 457 that was launched last year. The 427 and 437, along with the smaller 411 and 417, will all use a version of JCB’s CommandPlus cab, with improved field of view. JCB’s Command Driving Position, with revised pedals, an adjustable steering column and seat-mounted hydraulic controls, further improves the driving environment.

JCB has revised its wheeled loader range
255 JCB is updating four of its wheeled loaders, introducing DNA from the range-topping 457 that was launched last year. The 427 and 437, along with the smaller 411 and 417, will all use a version of JCB’s CommandPlus cab, with improved field of view. JCB’s Command Driving Position, with revised pedals, an adjustable steering column and seat-mounted hydraulic controls, further improves the driving environment.

The smaller 411 and 417 loaders are powered by JCB’s EcoMax Tier 4 Final/Stage IV diesel engines, delivering 81kW and 108kW respectively. The heavier 427 and 437 make use of 196 Cummins Stage IV engine producing 133kW and 136kW. In line with the firm’s current policy, all of these engines meet the current emissions standard without the need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF), reducing operating costs for the customer.
