14M TELEHANDLER

JCB 540-140 HI-VIZ Telehandler: Unrivalled Visibility, Power & Reach

The JCB 540-140 HI-VIZ Loadall is a leading telescopic handler in its class, engineered for superior lifting, placing, and loading tasks on large construction projects, infrastructure development, and substantial agricultural operations. Its innovative "HI-VIZ" design, combined with robust performance and advanced safety features, makes it an indispensable asset for maximizing site safety and operational efficiency.

Features

• 4.0 Tonne Max. Lift Capacity: Capable of safely lifting significant loads up to 4,000 kg (4 tonnes), allowing it to handle heavy-duty materials such as full pallets of blocks, large steel sections, pre-cast concrete, and bulk bags of aggregates.
• 13.78 - 14.0 Metre Max. Lift Height: The multi-stage telescopic boom offers an impressive maximum lift height of approximately 13.78 to 14 meters (45 ft - 46 ft). This extended reach is crucial for working on multi-story buildings, placing materials on high rooftops, supporting large-scale scaffolding, and reaching over obstacles.
• Exceptional Forward Reach: Provides a substantial maximum forward reach of over 9.6 meters (31 ft 6 in), enabling operators to place materials accurately at a distance from the machine, often aided by extendable stabilizers for enhanced stability and safety at full extension.
• JCB HI-VIZ Design (Unrivalled Visibility): This is a defining characteristic:
  • Low Boom Pivot & Low Boom Profile: The boom is mounted significantly lower in the chassis and features a reduced-size section. This groundbreaking design drastically improves the operator's rearward visibility over the right-hand side, a traditional blind spot for telehandlers.
  • Direct Glazing & Large Roof Screen: The cab features extensive direct glazing and a large roof screen, providing superb all-round visibility of the load, surroundings, and working area.
  • Tinted Cab Glass & Strategically Placed Roof Bars: Further enhance visibility and reduce glare.
  • Optional Reversing Camera & Pulse Radar: Can be equipped with advanced systems for even greater awareness of objects and personnel around the machine.
• Powerful & Efficient JCB DieselMAX Engine: Powered by JCB's highly respected DieselMAX engine, with power options typically around 55 kW (75 hp) or 81 kW (109 hp). These engines are designed to meet stringent EU Stage V emissions regulations without the need for complex DPF regeneration or AdBlue (DEF) injection on lower horsepower models, simplifying maintenance and reducing operational costs.
• Productive Drivetrain:
  • Powershift Transmission: Offers smooth, efficient gear changes on the move, contributing to faster cycle times and travel speeds up to 29 km/h (18 mph) or even 40 km/h (25 mph) on some configurations.
  • Permanent 4-Wheel Drive: Ensures excellent traction and grip on challenging and varied terrain, maximizing performance even in adverse site conditions.
  • 3 Steering Modes: Provides exceptional manoeuvrability with:
    • 2-Wheel Steer: For normal road travel.
    • 4-Wheel Steer: For tight turns and navigating confined spaces.
    • Crab Steer: For parallel movement, invaluable for precise load placement alongside walls or obstacles.
• Advanced Safety Features: JCB integrates multiple layers of safety:
  • Automatic Eye-Level Load Moment Indicator (LMI): Continuously monitors the machine's forward stability, providing clear audio-visual warnings and proportional control to prevent overloading.
  • Hose Burst Check Valves (HBCVs): Fitted to hydraulic rams as standard, preventing boom collapse in case of hose failure.
  • ROPS/FOPS Certified Cab: Ensures maximum operator protection in the event of roll-over or falling objects.
  • Sway Frame: Allows the operator to level the machine on uneven ground, enhancing stability and safety during high lifts.
  • Operator Presence Switch: Disables drive when the operator leaves the seat, preventing accidental movement.
• Robust Strength & Durability:
  • One-Piece Fully Welded Chassis: Provides an exceptionally rigid and robust foundation.
  • Tough U-Shaped Boom Pressing: With fully welded closing plates and internal hose routing, maximizing durability and protecting components from site damage.
  • Heavy-duty axle feet are designed to absorb immense stresses from continuous operation.
• Superior Operator Comfort:
  • Spacious & Ergonomic Cab: One of the largest and most comfortable cabs in its class, offering excellent space, direct glazing, and intuitive controls.
  • Adjustable Steering Column & Suspension Seat: Allows operators to find their ideal driving position, reducing fatigue.
  • New Instruments & Hi-Res TFT Screen: Provide clear, automotive-style information and diagnostics.
  • Single-Lever Controls: Often available, reducing operator fatigue by minimizing movements.
• JCB LiveLink Telematics: Standard on many models, providing real-time data on machine location, operating hours, fuel consumption, service alerts, and performance reports, enabling efficient fleet management and reduced downtime.
• Versatile Attachment Capability: Utilizes the JCB Q-Fit carriage, allowing for quick and secure attachment changes. Compatible with a vast range of accessories including various forks, buckets, jibs, waste handlers, and work platforms, expanding its utility across diverse tasks.

Applications
