“We are building out the full line of
telehandlers,”Hislop says. “We have refined
everything for thismachine.”
Hislop says everything on themachine is sized
for the636 (versus using the buildings blocks
for a similar unit, such as the company’s 844) in
order to bring theweight down andgive rental
companies a better return on investment.
JCB
8947
JCBwill show a handful of its telehandlers at
the event. One suchuntil will be the compact
telehandler that the company showed as a
prototype at ConExpo. The compact 525-60
Hi-Viz telehandler features amaximum lift height
of 20 feet and a load capacity of 5,500pounds.
The525-60 is 5 feet, 10 incheswide and6 feet,
3 inches tall, allowing access tomulti-story
parking and operation in tight quarters. The
525-60Hi-Viz replaces the524-50, 527-55
and the520-50 rear-enginemodels, with a
modern side-enginemount design. This permits
a lowboompivot point formaximum stability
and increased visibility to the rear and across
the boom.
Poweredby a newTier 4 Final, 2.5-liter, JCB
Diesel by Kohler 4-cylinder engine, the525-
60delivers 74hp (55kW). Aswith other JCB
engines, there is no requirement for a diesel
particulate filter or anSCR system tomeet
the Tier 4 Final emissions regulations. This
means that the JCBmachine has a service-free
emissions control system, reducing operating
costs and complexity for customers.
A two-speedhydrostatic transmission offers
travel speeds of up to16mph. Equippedwith
an21gpmhydraulic pump, themachine
delivers auxiliary hydraulic power for a sideshift
attachment carriage. Customers can choose
between JCB’sQ-fit carriage or a universal
skid steer compatible attachment interface for
ultimate versatility and fleet acceptance.
All boom functions are controlledby a single
servo lever joystick, withproportional control of
the two-stage boom extension allowing smooth
operation and fine control for the operator. The
machine is availablewith a choice of canopy
or fully glazed cab, with the option of air
conditioning.
