JCB previews new compact Loadall 526-60 and 530-60 telehandlers

JCB is previewing two new compact Loadall agricultural telescopic handlers at Agritechnica, both featuring an all-new cab with a quieter, more spacious working environment and improved visibility from the driver’s seat.

The Loadall 526-60 will replace the current 525-60, providing an extra 100kg of lift capacity for increased productivity, especially when loading or stacking big bales, mucking out cattle yards or loading a manure spreader.

Both the 526-60 and new Loadall 530-60 will be available to full T1A tractor homologation, featuring an improved power brake system and twin-line trailer braking, improving the capabilities and safety of the machines during road travel and when towing.

The new cab design has an interior layout with increased storage, a door that opens wider and foot-operated steering column adjustment making it safer and easier to get in and out, while improved glass seals and anti-vibration cab mounts reduce interior noise to levels more aligned with the Loadall Series III range.

A larger curved windscreen and increased screen wiper coverage improve forwards visibility, especially to the attachment carriage and wheels, which helps operators work with confidence, especially in and around the confines of farm buildings, resulting in greater productivity.

These latest hydrostatic-drive compact Loadalls will be available with different levels of features and specifications, plus advanced options including an upgraded 10in display in place of the standard 7in version, and a rear and offside camera kit, when introduced in 2026.
