Compact Handler for Small Work Areas

Sept. 28, 2010

JCB 520-40 compact telescopic handler lifts 4,000 pounds to a height of more than 13 feet in rough terrain. Full-time four-wheel drive, two-speed hydrostatic drive, and four-wheel steering allows for ease of operation and versatility. The telehandler can work in confined areas similar to what skid-steer loaders work in, but offers extended reach. Outside turn radius is 120 inches. A Perkins 50-hp liquid-cooled diesel powers the unit, and it can travel up to 12.4 mph. Estimated list price: $52,000.
