JCB has added to its Loadall telehandler range, with new 546-70 and 555-70 machines, both offering a 7m lift height and capacities of 4,600kg and 5,500kg respectively.
All variants come with 160-litre/min load-sensing Smart Hydraulics and 40kph DualTech VT drive, offering a combination of hydrostatic and powershift elements with automatic, seamless transitions between the two according to ground speed, says JCB.
The smaller model is available in AGRI Super, AGRI Xtra and AGRI Pro specifications, with engine outputs increasing from 130hp to 150hp to 173hp, depending on the variant chosen. The 555-70 is available in either AGRI Xtra or AGRI Pro specifications.
Air trailer braking is a factory-installed option, along with JCB’s all-new IntelliAssist, a suite of automated boom and attachment controls, and other hydraulic functions designed to ease the operator’s workload, and the new IntelliWeigh integrated load weighing system.
Also, JCB plans to offer AGRI Xtra and AGRI Pro versions of the Loadall 546-70 and 555-70 with Sway Control as an option, a machine levelling system that uses a double-acting hydraulic cylinder attached to the chassis and front axle.
