The JCB Teleskid can reach 60% further forward than any other skid steer on the market.
It is the only skid steer in the world that can dig below its chassis to a depth of around one metre (3.3 ft). In addition, this innovative new machine can reach 8% higher than any other skid steer. JCB pioneered telescopic technology with the launch of the Loadall nearly 40 years ago and today it’s the biggest selling telescopic handler in the world. Nearly 25 years ago JCB also introduced another innovation; the industry’s first single-arm - or ‘Powerboom’ - skid steer, which improved the safety of these machines. JCB has now combined both technologies into one to produce the JCB Teleskid; a skid steer and track loader complete with a telescopic boom.
The JCB Teleskid has a forward reach of 2.4 metres (7.9 ft), making it 60% better than the nearest competitive machine. With a lift height of four metres (13.1 in), the JCB Teleskid can reach 8% higher than any other skid steer in the world. The JCB Teleskid can do the work of four machines - a telescopic handler, masted forklift, compact loader and a skid steer, all in one easily-serviced machine. The telescopic boom will allow operators to load trucks without a ramp, reach over kerbing and dig below ground, all with clear visibility of the attachment.
The Teleskid will be the only skid steer on the market which is able to combine vertical and radial lift capability. A unique bucket-positioning levelling system allows the bucket level to be set and maintained throughout the boom’s range of movement. The JCB Teleskid will feature a fully enclosed cab that is 33 per cent larger than industry average, and JCB’s myCHOICE software, allowing control responsiveness and joystick sensitivity to be tailored to suit operator preferences. A 55 kW (74hp) JCB Ecomax engine provides high torque at low RPM and ensures compliance with Tier 4 Final / Stage IIIB emissions standards. Tracked and wheeled Teleskid models will be sold in North America, while European markets will be offered the wheeled variant which is most popular in that region. Source
