Though built to lift to a maximum height of 25’11”, the 560-80 has been designed as a telehandler with wheel loader performance. Its two-stage boom carries a heavy-duty implement carriage, with a broader boom nose to cope with demanding industrial and waste handling applications. The boom is equipped with a Z-bar linkage, similar to a wheel loader, delivering robust digging ability and breakout forces as high as 14,950 lbs when used with a bucket.
With that in mind, JCB Attachments is offering a new 6.53 cubic yard bucket specifically for use in low density bulk handling duties. A full Wastemaster refuse industry specification is also available, with additional cab and underside protection, reversing cooling fan and added guards, for waste handling customers.
The 560-80 is powered by the JCB Ecomax Tier 4 Final engine, which meets the latest emissions regulations without requiring a costly diesel particulate filter (DPF) or Diesel Oxidation Catalyst (DOC). This minimizes operating costs and maintains a low engine cover and short wheelbase for maximum visibility and maneuverability. Its engine delivers a powerful 145 hp, making the 560-80 one of the most powerful telehandlers in JCB’s line-up.
As well as working at height, the telehandler offers a 3,750 lb load capacity at its full forward reach of 14’9”, particularly useful when loading across trucks. The machine can be ordered with an optional Auto Smooth Ride system, to prevent bounce in the boom and deliver improved load retention in load and carry tasks.
The 560-80 has optional seat-mounted servo controls for maximum comfort and ease of use. The machine has regenerative hydraulics that recoup energy when the boom is lowered or retracted. The machine is also equipped with a bucket control system, which automates the ability to rapidly vibrate the bucket to aid tipping of sticky materials. All cylinders are equipped with end damping, to prevent shock loads as the hydraulic rams are extended or retracted. In addition there is an auxiliary circuit venting control that allows the operator to release pressure in the auxiliary lines, making it easier to rapidly swap between buckets and other specialty attachments. LED work lights deliver near daylight conditions when working at night.
