JCB Reveals Biggest Telehandler in its Product Lineup

Earlier this month, JCB unveiled its highest-capacity telescopic handler at its facility in Savannah, Ga. The 16,000-lb. capacity 516-42 telehandler handles loads up to 42’6”. With the stabilizers deployed, the 516-42 can deliver 6,000 lbs. to its full reach of 27’10” and 10,000 lbs/ to 19’10” reach. At its full lift height, the machine can handle 10,000 lbs.

The 516-42 shares many components with its sister machine, the 514-56, and offers improvements like a stronger three-stage boom with a heavy-duty inner section and larger diameter and 3.1-in. lift cylinders. Utilizing a hydraulic cylinder and chain design like the 514-56, this system delivers smooth extension and retraction of the boom. Also similar to the 514-56 is the direct-mounted tilt carriage, which has been uprated from its sister machine. The forks and 2.75-in. fork shaft from the 514-56 also have been used. 

The chassis incorporates standard heavy-duty JCB axles and 20-ply Titan tires with three-piece rims to cope with the additional loads imposed by the higher lift capacity.

Visibility is a key feature, as the hood lines are low due to the Tier 4 Final JCB Ecomax engine, which delivers 109 hp without the need for a DPF or DOC. The spacious cab has an optional single-lever joystick control and four-speed powershift transmission.
