JCB is widening its WORKMAX range of utlity vehciles with the addition of a new 4x4 model. The new model is the WORKMAX 800D and offers 600kg maximum payload and this introduction extends the range, which also includes the 1000D model 4x4, and the 6x4 variant. Power for the new model comes from a 784cc Yanmar diesel engine coupled to a two-speed CVT with a Kevlar belt. The 800D model is a mid-range model with 4x4 drive and a selectable differential lock that is electronically controlled. The 800D cab has a flat checkplate floor allowing access from either side, and bench or bucket seats. The steel-construction tipping cargo deck will carry 400kg. Underneath is a steel plate guard to protect the major transmission components while the air intake is mounted as high as possible, to permit fording across streams and rivers. The engine and transmission are positioned further forward than on most UTVs to achieve an optimum 50:50 weight distribution when fully laden. Accessories include a sealed cab with doors, soft door or hard door options, beacon kit, cab radio kit, bull bar, load bed liner, front tow hitch, interior mirror, work light kit, road light kit and hydraulic lift.
