4M TELEHANDLER

JCB 520-40 Loadall: Compact Powerhouse with Unrivalled Agility

The JCB 520-40 Loadall is a compact and highly versatile telehandler that punches above its weight in terms of performance and productivity. With its innovative design, including permanent 4-wheel steering and hydrostatic transmission, it offers superb manoeuvrability, allowing it to excel in confined job sites where larger machines cannot operate.

Features

• 2.0 Tonne Max. Lift Capacity: Capable of lifting loads up to 2,000 kg (2 tonnes), making it suitable for handling a variety of materials including pallets of bricks, timber, aggregates, and more.
• 4 Metre Max. Lift Height: The telescopic boom provides a maximum lift height of 4 metres (13 ft 1 in), enabling it to load skips, stack materials, and work effectively at height on two-story buildings or scaffolding.
• Compact Dimensions: This is a defining feature of the 520-40. With an overall height of approximately 1.97 metres (6 ft 6 in) and a width over tyres of around 1.56 metres (5 ft 1 in), it can easily fit through low doorways, under scaffolding, and navigate narrow pathways, greatly expanding its accessibility on site.
• Efficient Perkins Diesel Engine: Typically powered by a reliable Perkins 4-cylinder diesel engine (e.g., Perkins 404D-22 or 403J-17), delivering power around 19 kW (25 hp) to 37.5 kW (50 hp). This engine provides ample power for lifting, driving, and operating attachments, known for its fuel efficiency.
• Hydrostatic Transmission with Permanent 4x4 & 4-Wheel Steer:
  • Hydrostatic Transmission: Offers ultra-smooth operation, infinite speed variations, and excellent fuel efficiency. It provides precise control for inching and delicate manoeuvres.
  • Permanent 4-Wheel Drive (4x4): Ensures excellent traction in soft, muddy, or uneven ground conditions, allowing the machine to work effectively on challenging terrain.
  • Permanent 4-Wheel Steer: Enables an exceptionally tight turning circle (outer turn radius over tyres around 3.05 metres / 10 ft), providing outstanding manoeuvrability in confined spaces.
• Ultimate Strength & Durability:
  • Features a one-piece fully welded chassis for maximum strength and minimum weight.
  • Hoses are routed through the boom to protect them from damage, and the U-shaped boom design with integrated boom nose reduces stress points and increases durability.
• Operator Comfort & Safety:
  • Spacious Side-Entry Cab: Despite its compact size, the 520-40 boasts a spacious, safe, side-entry cab with superb all-round visibility, enhancing the operator experience.
  • ROPS/FOPS Certified Cab: Provides essential Roll-Over Protective Structure (ROPS) and Falling Object Protective Structure (FOPS) for operator safety.
  • Automatic Eye-Level Load Moment Indicator (LMI): Continuously monitors the machine's forward stability and provides progressive audio-visual warnings to the operator, ensuring safe lifting operations.
  • Ergonomic Controls: Intelligently grouped hydraulic and transmission controls are laid out for instinctive, quick, and precise operation, reducing operator fatigue.
  • Fully Adjustable Suspension Seat: Enhances operator comfort during long shifts.
• Versatile Attachment Carrier: The 520-40 is highly adaptable, often coming with a "Compact Toolcarrier" or "Skid Steer Toolcarrier" carriage with manual or hydraulic pin locking. This allows it to quickly switch between a wide range of attachments, effectively making it a combination of a skid steer, wheeled loading shovel, and forklift.
