Telehandlers

A telehandler - otherwise known as a telescopic handler - is a lifting machine equipped with a telescopic boom and a lifting attachment, allowing it to function as a forklift and a crane. This dual ability - combined with the fact many telehandlers can accommodate a variety of attachments - make it one of the most versatile machines on a site. 

The all-new 514-40 is JCB's smallest telehandler - and the most compact yet comfortable on the market.

Designed to get into places no other model can, it's small enough to fit through a 1.8m doorway but retains a best-in-class telehandler lifting capacity. And even with a max length of 2.9m and a width of 1.55m, there's no compromise on the cab. The full-width space is an extra 200mm wider than competitors for uncompromised entry and exit, alongside clear visibility of all four wheels. Fully trailer towable, it's also ideal for transporting to events, yards or anywhere else you need this versatile model.
