JCB to Launch New Telehandler, Backhoe and Electric Mini-Excavator at ARA
JCB will exhibit a range of rental-ready machines at the American Rental Association show in Anaheim. The event will be the debut for the JCB 512-56 Loadall telescopic handler equipped with a 74-hp JCB EcoMax engine, making it the world’s first 12,000-pound telehandler that requires no diesel particulate filter, no diesel exhaust fluid and no other engine aftertreatment, the company said. For more information about the 512-56, visit https://www.jcb.com/en-us/products/telescopc handlers/512-56.
JCB will also preview two new machines that will launch in North America in the coming months. The ICXT backhoe loader will be a compact, tracked machine with material handling and excavating capabilities and a footprint and maneuverability more commonly associated with a compact track loader. The 19C-1 IE electric mini-excavator will be the first of a new generation of JCB E-TEC electric products and will feature a three-battery pack that will last a full working day with “no compromise on performance and no emissions.”
“At the ARA show, rental professionals will learn more about the range of JCB machines that are currently enabling profitable rental operations, and they’ll have the chance to preview machines that will drive rental demand and profitable growth in the future,” said Steve Fox, president of direct sales and product for JCB North America. “When the ICXT backhoe loader and 19C-1 electric mini-excavator are launched in coming months, they’ll continue the success rental operators have had with JCB innovations such as the 512-56 telehandler and the Teleskid skid-steer and compact track loader.”
The JCB Teleskid is the world’s only skid-steer and compact track loader with a telescopic boom, which allows operators to life more than 13 feet high, reach forward eight feet and dig three feet below grade. For more information about the Teleskid, go to: www.jcb.com/en-us/products/teleskid.
The company will also show its 505-20TC Loadall telescopic handler, 3CX backhoe loader, 3TS-8T Teleskid compact track loader, 215T compact track loader and S1930E electric scissorlift.
JCB will be found at Booth 6325.
