Agritechnica '11.2013

12 November 2013

JCB, the world’s number one producer of telescopic handlers, today further strengthens its range at Agritechnica with the launch of three new Loadall models.

The new 525-60 Agri has a maximum payload of 2.5 tonnes and maximum lift height of six metres and brings full-size telehandler performance and features into the compact sector alongside JCB’s smallest Loadall, the new 516-40 Agri.

And the new six tonne payload to 8.1 metre lift height Loadall 560-80 Agri builds on the resounding success of JCB’s existing repeat loading cycle champion (the 550-80 Agri) with a further increase in lift capacity.

With sales two and a half times higher than initial forecasts, response to the introduction of a new heavy-weight but highly manoeuvrable telescopic handler to the world-beating JCB Loadall range has been exceptional.

So at Agritechnica, the five tonne lift 550-80 Agri will be joined by a second model with even greater capacity – the six tonne payload 560-80 Agri, which caters for large farms and commercial bulk storage enterprises wanting still higher productivity for stockpiling and out-loading to trucks.

Powered by a 108kW (145hp) version of the JCB Ecomax T4 diesel engine, the newcomer will come with the option of a new 5m³ bucket from JCB's comprehensive Agmaster range of attachments and front-end implements, and a seat-mounted servo joystick for fingertip control.

At 6000kg lift and with increased forward reach capacity, the new high-performance machine combines brawn with the versatility of a two-stage telescopic boom and heavy-duty implement carriage. The Z-bar linkage converts hydraulic power into high break-out force for fast bucket filling while providing excellent dump angle for rapid load discharge.
