JCB

JCB introduces two low boom Loadall telescopic handlers, which offer visibility and productivity improvements. All-around visibility on the Loadall 535-125 HiViz and 535-140 HiViz models has improved by 10 percent, particularly to the rear of the machines. In addition, the new machines have a more compact rear chassis, which results in a 90mm reduction in overhang.
