The battery is removed through the rear access door. All batteries come with fork pockets and a single lift point as standard. This means that customers can easily change the battery with either a forklift or crane within two minutes.

Battery charging is as easy as lifting the battery cover and plugging in the GNB high-frequency charger.

With an industry leading lead-acid GNB/Exide Marathon Classic heavy duty - 80v, 625ah – battery, JCB Electric Teletruks, including the 30-19E and the 35-22E, work for a full 8-hour shift on a single charge. From 20%-100%, charge time is 8 hours with a 3 phase 415v power supply.

JCB offers two electric Teletruks (forklifts). The smaller forklift, the 30-19E Teletruk, weighs 5600kg and has a maximum lifting capacity of 3000 kg. The larger forklift, the 35-22E Teletruk, weighs 5950kg and has a maximum lifting capacity of 3500 kg.

All Teletruks are fitted with industry standard class III ITA carriages allowing the Teletruk to be equipped with a huge variety of attachments such as buckets, clamps, rotators and even sweepers to name but a few. 

The 30-19E and 35-22E electric forklifts have been built utilising only industry leading components and the battery is no exception. The machines are fitted with a lead-acid GNB/Exide Marathon Classic heavy duty -80v, 625ah. This will provide outstanding performance, backed up by an industry leading support network.

For additional peace of mind, the JCB Teletruk industrial forklifts come with a two year JCB warranty on the machine, 3 year/6000 hours on Zapi drive and controls, plus a 1200 charge cycle warranty on the battery.

The JCB Raptor tiltrotator can be mounted onto the end of your excavator, tilt up to 45 degrees and rotate 360 degrees to increase the flexibility and precision of your excavator. With JCB’s integrated technology, the JCB tilt rotator operation can be controlled by the joysticks within the cab. All the controls are available from one screen which is fully integrated into the machine.

When considering a wheeled excavator vs. tracked, there are several advantages of tracked models for certain applications.

• Stability: if you're working on a softer terrain like gravel or soil, or on uneven or sloping ground, the tracks increase the surface area on the ground.
• Traction: with higher ground contact and the option to add wider track plates, tracked machines have lower ground bearing pressure - so are better suited to softer ground conditions or steeper slopes.
• Versatility: there's a range of attachments available to suit various scenarios - and JCB's wheeled excavators operate with four different working modes to best suit specific jobs.
• Toughness: tracks can't be punctured by uneven stone, rocks or other raw materials, and have high amounts of ground contract to travel over rough surface. Plus, the undercarriage construction means they're less likely to be damaged or bottom out - making tracked models perfect for more extreme sites.

The 360 excavator is a specialist piece of plant machinery, so you'll need a CPCS Red Trained Operator Card. This type of CSCS card acts as a dedicated 360 excavator driver license and will cover you for both wheeled and tracked excavators - but separate courses are required for machines above and below 10 tonnes. You can find out more about the necessary CPCS qualifications here.
