Smallest Loadall telehandler to date delivers ‘unparalleled manoeuvrability’

JCB has revealed it is launching its smallest Loadall telehandler so far, with a cab height of just 1.8m and a width of 1.56m.

The 514-40 model has been designed to access confined job sites. Small enough to fit through a 2m high doorway, JCB stated the machine delivers ‘unparalleled manoeuvrability’ with all-wheel steering.

The telehandler is powered by an 18.4 kW diesel engine that meets the EU Stage V emissions standards without the need for Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) or any diesel exhaust fluid.

This three-cylinder 1.1-litre engine drives through a Bosch hydrostatic transmission to a two-speed Linde motor, delivering a maximum travel speed of 15km/h.

The maximum lift capacity is 1,400kg, while maximum lift height is 4m. Lift capacity at full reach is set at 525kg. JCB revealed the machine has a 17% higher power-to-weight ratio than the previous 516-40 Loadall. However, the 514-40 can be transported on a lightweight 3.5-tonne trailer behind a 4×4 or light commercial vehicle, making it ‘easier, quicker and less expensive’ to deliver to site.

The full width of the cab is 20% larger than the 516-40 and described by JCB as ‘a full 200mm wider’ than competitor models.

Standard features include a 50mm tow ball with 7-pin electrics, reversing alarm, road lights, patented JCB load control system, and LiveLink Lite telematics. Options include an LED work light package, amber and green beacons with an orange seat belt, which can all be protected by JCB’s immobiliser Key Pad.

The 514-40 has a new lightweight tool carrier and is capable of working with floating forks or a 0.41m3 bucket. Double-acting auxiliary hydraulics make it possible to operate with a range of JCB attachments. Customers can also choose between a range of industrial and turf-compatible tyres.
