JCB TELESKID WINS 2018 CONTRACTORS’ TOP NEW PRODUCT AWARD
The JCB Teleskid skid steer loader and compact track loader has been named by Equipment Today magazine in its Top 50 New Contractor’s Products of 2018. The award recognizes the Teleskid as the one of the most intriguing new earthmoving and construction equipment products of the year, determined by construction equipment users.
The JCB Teleskid is the world’s only skid steer and compact track loader with a telescopic boom, allowing it to lift over 13 feet – eight percent higher than any skid steer on the market – and reach forward eight feet – 60 percent further its nearest competitor. It is also the only skid steer that can dig below grade, to a depth of three feet. The Teleskid is available as a wheeled skid steer loader or compact track loader, with rated operating capacities of 3,208 pounds and 3,695 pounds, respectively. More information is available at: www.jcb.com/teleskid.
“The JCB Teleskid is designed and built in the U.S. and has generated enormous response from construction industry professionals across North America,” said Richard Fox-Marrs, president and CEO of JCB North America.
It’s terrific that the readers of Equipment Today have been so interested in the Teleskid’s ability to lift higher, reach further and dig deeper, and we’re excited to hear how the machine is helping contractors be more productive and operate more profitably.
Based on JCB’s proven large-platform skid steer design, the Teleskid is also the only skid steer to combine the advantages of radial lift—for efficient excavating and grading—and vertical lift—for optimal lift capacity and height—in a single machine.
