JCB

The 456 HT from JCB is offered alongside the existing 456ZX, which features a Z-Bar geometry loader arm. Both 456 models have 4.3 cubic yards bucket capacity. The HT 4-cylinder loader arm design with attachment quick-hitch provides high attachment torque for controlling loads with forks, grapples or handling arms in all positions throughout the lifting arc of the arms. With no center tipping links, the HT's design visibility is greatly enhanced and this improves operator confidence and general on-site safety when handling and placing heavy loads.

Yanmar

Yanmar's V4-5 wheel loader offers lift capacities of 4,134 (full lift) and 6,945 (low lift) pounds. Single-lever operation features auto-leveler, which places the bucket level on the ground. The bucket moves quickly back to the loading position and helps make every operator more efficient. Two-mode control allows the operator to select fully automatic shifting or a fixed-speed mode for low travel speed operation in restricted areas.
