JCB adds to compact loader family

JCB is adding two skid steers and a compact tracked loader to the new generation machines unveiled last year.

The JCB 135, 155 and 150T all use a radial lift version of the JCB Powerboom single-sided lift arm, providing maximum digging capability and reach.

Features of the JCB 135, 155 and 150T include improved fuel efficiency and a 46% larger cab.

With the introduction of these three models JCB now offers 12 new generation machines. Additional models will be launched throughout 2012, bringing the total range to 17 models, including radial and vertical lift machines.

JCB says that the new machines also need less maintenance that competitor machines, with fewer grease points than a twin arm design. The single lift arm design is also said to improve visibility for the operator, compared to twin arm machines. A tilting cab makes it easy to access components.

There are twin travel speeds on the 155 skid steer and the 150T loader to improve productivity. Creep speed, standard on all models, allows the operator to fine tune travel speed at full power for the operation of high flow attachments such as planers, trenchers and for other slow moving applications.

The side opening door means not having to climb over attachments or tools, improving safety for the operator.
