With a wide-opening side door for safe entry and exit, operators no longer need to climb over large, slippery and awkward attachments, or under an unsupported boom. The iconic JCB Powerboom™ loader arm enables 60 percent better visibility around the machine than conventional twin-arm machines. And with no rear torque tube, as required for conventional machines, operators also benefit from significantly improved rear visibility.

JCB cabs on small-platform machines are 46 percent larger than the competition. On large-platform machines, JCB cabs are 33 percent larger than the competition. JCB’s myCHOICE control software allows operators to tailor the sensitivity of joystick movement to match the way they work. ISO (single joystick transmission operation) is a standard feature; H-pattern controls are an available option, to suit operator preferences.

All JCB Skid Steer Loaders are equipped with efficient engines that require no DEF, no DPF, and no engine aftertreatment. Unlike the cooling systems on conventional Skid Steers, JCB machines pull cool, clean air from above and force hot air out through the sides and rear, away from the operator. JCB’s Smoothride System (SRS) option allows the boom and load to move independently from the chassis, for improved load retention, operator comfort, and faster loading cycles.

All daily checks are performed at ground level, and pre-filters, oil filters and air filters are easy to access via a large rear service door. O-ring face seal hydraulic fittings reduce leaks and maintenance downtime. JCB Skid Steers feature tilting cabs, which can be operated by one person and opened in just a few minutes, to provide access for deeper maintenance. For quick cleaning with a power washer, JCB Skid Steers provide easy access to the engine bay and flat floors with no dirt-trapping footwells.

JCB has earned its reputation for strength, and JCB Skid Steers are built tough to handle the demands of any application and any condition. Fully-welded chassis provides a rigid structure for maximum strength and reduced weight. A solid undercarriage with cast steel, triple-flanged rollers provides consistent performance on demanding terrain. The quick hitch is constructed from high-tensile steel and features high-strength welds for longer life. For extra support and greater breakout force, JCB Skid Steer Loaders have the largest quick hitch pivot pins in the industry.
