REPLICATING the Best Global Practices

JCB recently introduced three revolutionary product solutions in material handling segment – the telehandlers, the skid steer loaders and the super loader, with the aim of replicating global best practices in India.

There has been a significant thrust in the material handling industry in the recent past. There is an increased interest for safe and reliable products at work sites. Moreover, vertical stacking and palletisation, as concepts, have gained popularity in India which also drives demand for material handling products.

Growth Potential
The material handling industry has immense growth potential across various applications. Increasing popularity of vertical stacking, thrust on palletization, along with the growing need for safe, reliable and productive equipment are the driving factors for demand. Faster and safer solutions will have to be adopted in terms of equipment if we are to replicate the global best practices in India. Moreover, in India, now the trend is towards multi-utility. When a customer plans to buy equipment for an application, he is also looking for a couple of other applications by using different attachments. It is time to replicate the global best practices of in India.

JCB recently introduced three revolutionary product solutions in this segment – the telehandlers, the skid steer loaders and the super loader, with the aim of replicating global best practices in India. “At JCB, we have the option of three world class product lines that are telehandlers, skid steer loaders and super loaders. It is revolutionizing the way material is handled, moved or lifted at work sites. Our material handling equipment comes with a wide range of attachments, giving these machines an unmatched versatility. JCB’s continued commitment to safety and technology makes this range an unbeatable choice. At JCB, our endeavour is to provide our customers with machines, which provide higher return on investment and the best-in-class fuel efficiency, says Jasmeet Singh, Head Corporate Communications, JCB India.

Telehandlers
“JCB pioneered the concept of telescopic handlers in India. Known as JCB Loadall, this machine has gained popularity in industries such as agricultural logistics, construction, and process industries. JCB India currently offers three variants of Loadall – the Made-in-India 530-70 and 530-110, and additionally we have a 17m machine which is the 540-170 for high lift and reach applications which is imported from UK,” says Singh. All JCB telehandlers are fitted with a single boom auxiliary feature as standard which can power a wide range of attachments. Various control patterns are also available, depending on different applications.

These telescopic handlers also come with a variety of attachments which makes the machine even more versatile. The widely used attachments are general purpose shovel, heavy duty forks, bucket with grab, crane hook – fork mounted, grain bucket, power grab, man platform and drum handlers. All these are made with the purpose of making the machine do a variety of tasks on site, thereby improving the utility of the machines.

Operator Comfort: The Loadall’s robust structure ensures maximum strength in high stress areas. It is better suited for heavy-duty bucket application. An air-conditioned cabin, clean air kit option for ventilation in dusty environments, and rolling over and falling over protection systems enhance operator comfort and safety.

Safety: With safety as its focus, JCB has introduced safety features such as ROPS / FOPS cabin, load moment indicator with alarm, hose burst check valves, stabilizers, and 4 wheeled drive for better traction in the telehandlers.

Versatility: The Loadall comes with a variety of attachments such as the general purpose shovel, heavy duty forks, bucket with grab, crane hook, crain bucket, power grab, man platform and drum handlers, all of which enable the machine to do a variety of jobs on site, thereby enhancing its overall utility. If the material has to be placed beyond a certain height, JCB’s telehandler range is a perfect fit. This power packed machine can lift loads of upto 03 tonne to a level of 7m and 11m, using the 530-70 (7m height) and the 530-110 (11m height), while the bigger 540-170 machine can lift upto 4 tonne to a level of 17 m. Apart from warehouses, JCB’s Loadall can also be used wherever there is lifting requirements at heights, be it in airports, in real estate or even in areas where other machines cannot go. It also comes with a variety of attachments which makes the machine even more versatile.

Super Loaders
The latest in the material handling segment is the 2DXL super loader. The machine is a perfect blend of value, versatility and performance. The machine is based on 2DX platform and comes with various attachments like multiple buckets, bagasse dozer, pallet fork, and bale grabber. Be it agro based logistics, construction sites or process industries, the two variants of super loaders with 3.1m and 4.0m dump height continue to make a positive difference in the way material is handled.

Customers require equipment that is productive, safe, and versatile. These requirements enable users to utilize their equipment to its full potential at work sites. In terms of material handling, there is a generic requirement of lifting, placing and handling material at various heights and also that of manoeuvrability and productivity. JCB super loader is highly fuel efficient and is equipped with powerful water cooled diesel engine. It comes with water separator for longer fuel pump life.

JCB Super Loaders have made their mark in areas which require a loader with a high dump height such as pallet handling, coal handling, and dozer Levelling etc. For incredible productivity, it is equipped with durable loader arm which is designed for higher lift capacity and lower cycle times.
