With more than 45 years of expertise in the telescopic handler design and manufacture, JCB has designed its rotating telescopic handler to meet the needs of specialist lifting contractors and the rental market. With a robust boom construction and a familiar driveline, JCB has focused on maximizing reliability, versatility, productivity, ease of use and safety, as a means of delivering improved uptime and increased customer profitability. In many cases, the machine provides up to a 10 percent higher lifting envelope advantage over competitive machines.
To ensure that set-up time is minimized, the stabilizers have automatic one-touch deployment, stowage, and leveling. It has competitive lift end cycle times and high auxiliary flow rates for efficient winch work to boost productivity further. With a lower chassis-mounted engine layout, the machine offers excellent access and class-leading serviceability. A low, clean boom design provides excellent all-around visibility, augmented by comprehensive work light options and camera kits, including a boom head camera for precise placement at height. The cab maintains JCB’s familiar feel with a simple-to-operate, industry-standard control layout and a variety of comfortable seating options, ensuring all-day working comfort.
The JCB LiveLink telematics system comes standard with 5-year subscription and will incorporate features that enable operators to fully exploit the performance of this versatile machine.
The 512-83R can be used with a wide range of attachments. The machine also offers remote-control lift-end operation and the availability of aerial access platforms, in effect making the 512-83R three machines in one: a telehandler, a crane and a mobile elevating work platform. A range of specially developed JCB attachments using RFID technology can be identified by the machine, to automatically offer the correct load chart for the operator.
JCB’s rotating telescopic handlers offer a genuine cost-effective versatile replacement for smaller fixed and mobile cranes, with rapid set-up, ease of use and the ability to carry out a wide range of technical lifting operations.
