To achieve the very highest levels of quality on our telehandlers, we use state-of-the-art manufacturing processes like robot machining and precision paint technology, as well as innovative assembly techniques.

The new JCB Loadall range’s stringent testing programme has included prolonged high stress loading of the chassis, boom and other key components, as well as repeated transmission use over thousands of cycles.

A one-piece fully welded chassis maximises strength and minimises weight. There are also large boom overlaps of up to 0.5m; the hydraulic cylinders have friction-welded eye-ends for extra strength; and all pivots use hardened pins.

You can be assured of long-term corrosion protection on a 516-40 Loadall because all JCB cabs are dipped in electrophoretic alloy before the painting process begins.

All of the hydraulic hoses on the JCB 516-40 telescopic handler are intelligently routed through the boom, affording them maximum protection against damage.

Fuel-efficient matching of the transmission and hydraulics is ensured because the 516-40 telehandler’s JCB Diesel by Kohler engine produces high levels of torque at engine speeds as low as 1600rpm.

JCB Loadalls have a well-earned reputation for delivering reliable performance with minimum downtime.

Steering rams on the 516-40 Loadall are located high on the axle out of harm’s way. You can also choose optional front screen guard for added protection from falling debris.

When you buy a JCB Loadall, you buy a machine that's sought after around the world for its legendary productivity and build quality. This level of demand keeps residuals correspondingly high.

Resale values are helped by our continued use of innovative design and build. For example, the JCB 516-40 has a patented offset single-spine chassis; the cab sits low in the chassis, keeping machine height down without compromising on comfort.
