Features
Productivity
The versatility of a skid steer or compact track loader combined with the telescopic JCB Powerboom and SAE/ISO standard quick hitch, for and unbeatable combination of productivity and efficiency.
The proven JCB EcoMAX engine delivers increased performance at low engine speeds for improved cycle times. Having no requirement for diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or a costly, productivity-sapping diesel particulate filter (DPF), this machine will have more longevity and increased productivity.
Our Teleskids offer greater tractive force and pushing power than a small telehandler or forklift, along with breakout force that rivals many bigger machines.
Comfort & Control
Whether you choose the standard-fit, climate-controlled cab or the available canopy option, the operator environment in the cab of a JCB Teleskid is 33% larger than the industry average.
With the standard fit, fully adjustable, heated, air suspension seat, JCB’s Teleskids are in a class of its own for operator comfort.
Electric over hydraulic controls; optional switchable ISO-/H-pattern controls; a 7-way, multi-function joystick; and JCB’s MyChoice software to choose the level of joystick responsiveness, all work together to deliver unrivaled control.
The updated cab was designed with ease of use and operator comfort in mind. The new touchscreen display is mounted in the top right-hand side of the cab and will allow the operator to change settings much faster. You can set MyChoice controls, reversing fan intervals, toggle the new job time and more all from the touch display for a customized control area.
Versatility
JCB’s Teleskid combines the advantage of vertical lift – for greater lift capacity and lift height – and radial lift – for improved excavating and grading – in a single machine.
The JCB Teleskid is the only skid steer or compact track loader with a lift height of 13 feet 3 inches, a forward reach of 8 feet, and, for the first time in a skid steer or compact track loader, the ability to dig 3 feet below ground.
Teleskid’s bucket-positioning leveling system is active when the boom is raised or lowered – making is easier to keep gravel, mulch, dirt and other materials in the bucket.
Strength
With a proven high-strength steel boom mounted on a single-piece, fully-welded chassis paired with reliable components, the JCB Teleskid has been constructed to maximize strength and earning potential.
JCB’s experience in manufacturing telescopic booms exceeds 250,000 machines in service across all telescopic boom machines.
The telescopic Powerboom on the Teleskid features a pressed, U-shape design for fewer joints and stress points.
A centralized lift along with extension rams distribute load stresses evenly
Safety
Not only is the JCB door up to twice the size of the competition, making it more comfortable to use, but it makes JCB the safest skid steer on the market.
The JCB Teleskid features the same unique, wide-opening, side entry door for which JCB’s skid steer and compact track loaders are known.
Operators are no longer required to climb over attachments or under an unsupported boom to enter or exit through the front – unlike with competitor’s machines.
For added safety options, a dealer-fit flashing beacon and front screen guard are available.
