JCB, World’s first revolutionary new product

For the first time in the construction industry, JCB previews the world’s first skid steer and compact track loader with a telescopic boom, the new JCB Teleskid.

JCB Teleskid is a revolutionary product that can reach 60% further than any other existing skid steer and - in an industry first – the only one in the world able to dig below its chassis to an unparalleled depth of around one meter. It can also reach 8% higher than any other skid steer. The new machine has a unique and unrivalled forward reach of 2.4 meters, with a lift height of four meters, the JCB Teleskid can do the work of four machines – a telescopic handler, masted forklift, compact loader and a skid steer. Moreover, with its telescopic boom the teleskid allows operators to load trucks without a ramp, and reach over kerbing and dig below ground, all with clear visibility of the attachment.

In fact, the new Teleskid will be the one in the world able to combine vertical and radial lift capacity. It features a fully enclosed cab that is 33% larger than industry average, a 74hp/55Kw, JCB Ecomax engine will provide high torque at a low RPM and ensure compliance with Tier 4 Final/Stage IIIB emission standards.

Tracked and wheeled Teleskid models will be sold in North America, while European markets will be offered the wheeled variant which is most popular in that region.
