The 715 is a two-axle machine that will provide the perfect hauling partner for many of the company’s wheeled and crawler excavating and loading machines. Offered with a range of tyre options, to suit any terrain and working conditions, the 715 tips the scales at 9,320kg. With a Hardox 450 reinforced steel bottom as standard, the dump body has a heaped capacity of 7.1m3, delivering a payload of 12,750kg.

The truck is powered by a proven JCB 448 Stage V diesel engine, delivering 129kW (173hp). This drives through a JCB 8-speed auto powershift transmission with active torque lock. This eliminates torque converter losses, enabling direct drive for maximum traction on the steepest of slopes. JCB has opted for heavy duty ZF axles with differential lock to transmit the 690Nm of engine torque to the ground through the stickiest of mud. The compact ADT boasts a maximum travel speed of up to 40kph, enabling fast efficient loading cycles when productivity is key. 

The machine boasts the latest generation of Command Plus cab with a ROPS/FOPS approval as standard. The central drive position, that delivers optimum visibility in all directions. LED lighting, wide angle mirrors and a rear-view camera as standard ensure that the operator is always fully aware of other equipment and personnel on site.The in-cab 7” touchscreen display uses the latest JCB UX display featured in JCB X Series excavators, providing operators with real-time data and operating information and making it seamless for operators to switch between any JCB product. The UX display enables operators to store and instantly activate machine configurations, automated functions and personalised operator profiles.

JCB’s LiveLink telematics system is also standard, providing real-time data to fleet managers and customers remotely. 

The machine has electronic start-up checks measuring all critical levels and reporting digitally to the operator to maximise uptime.

Service access is from ground level, with lift-off mudguards providing access to filters and service points. The patented cooling pack is mounted high on the back of the front section of the chassis, to keep it out of dust and dirt lower down. A variable reversible cooling fan can be used to automatically blow dust from the cooling pack, while automatically regulating fan speed, ensuring optimum operation and efficiency.
