Rough Terrain Forklifts

Designed for high mobility and superb productivity in rough terrain areas, there are three RTFLs in the JCB range, the 930, 940 & 945.

It has several mast options ranging from 3.6 to 6.7 m so you can tailor your RTFL to the perfect lift height. What’s more, JCB’s Synchro Shuttle transmission gives fast, smooth directional changes and a sideshift feature means you can accurately place materials on scaffolding.

Our larger high-flow hydraulic pump translates your rough terrain forklift's power into efficient lifting for increased productivity; cycle times are up to 51% faster.

  • JCB's 55kW high-torque EcoMAX engine maximises both productivity and efficiency.
  • EcoMAX doesn't require exhaust after-treatment, so costly heat-resistant lube oils or AdBlue are unnecessary; in turn, you save on servicing costs.
  • Two steer modes 4WD & 2WD can be changed at a flick of a switch, reducing fuel consumption and tyre wear whenever 4WD isn't required – during roading, for example.

Visibility is excellent, courtesy of direct glazing, fold-back rear doors, high cab mounting position, and large front and rear windshields.

  • The large, spacious cab of a JCB RTFL boasts left and right grab handles with wide-opening doors; standard-fit tinted glass which reflects 30% of solar energy; and a new 3-speed heater fan for improved demisting/de-icing of the windshield.
  • Available with both suspension and air suspension seating options that can be adjusted to different operator requirements or tasks.
  • A zero tail swing design means our machines are ideal for working in confined areas.

To keep our rough terrain forklifts productive, we minimise downtime as much as possible; service intervals are therefore long.

  • Daily checks and greasing are carried out easily at ground level.
  • All filters (engine oil, fuel, transmission, hydraulic oil and air) are near each other for faster servicing too.
  • JCB LiveLink telematics technology offers benefits like real-time data that allows you to monitor and manage machines remotely.
  • You can also monitor any issues and get them resolved swiftly by your JCB dealer, thus boosting productivity throughout the working day.

The one-piece fully welded chassis on a JCB forklift maximises strength and minimises weight, while axles are the same heavy-duty units we fit to our backhoe loaders and telehandlers.

  • Our RTFL's are put through a stringent testing program which includes prolonged high stress loading of the chassis, as well as repeated transmission use over thousands of cycles.
  • Our RTFL hydraulic cylinders have friction-welded eye-ends for extra strength, plus all pivots use hardened pins.
