JCB 527-58 WASTEMASTER Telescopic Handlers

ABOUT JCB WASTEMASTERS

Naturally, a tough design is common to all JCB Loadalls but Wastemaster models take it to a new level. Extra guarding for the cab and lighting are standard, as is underbelly protection. There’s also an uprated 126 l/min variable flow piston hydraulic pump to cope with the rigours of waste and recycling duties.

MANOEUVRABILITY AND PERFORMANCE

The JCB 527-58 Wastemaster Loadall uses a stepless hydrostatic transmission and four-wheel steer for superb manoeuvrability.

It’s also got JCB’s EcoMAX engine for improved power and productivity. The 81 kW unit produces its power and torque at low revs, meaning that the engine has to work less hard than rival machines. That saves fuel and, of course, money.

Of course, good ground clearance and four wheel drive means this compact telehandler can make excellent progress in any conditions or terrain. Add a hydrostatic transmission for easy operation, infinite speed variations and great fuel efficiency, and you have truly versatile performance and productivity.

SERVICEABILITY AND DURABILITY

Every JCB Loadall is designed to maximise uptime and productivity. To do that, we make sure our components last a long time and, when routine replacements need to take place, we make sure everything important is easily accessible.

So all checks are quick, simple and safe to carry out from ground level on this telehandler. The one-piece bonnet is on a gas strut for ease and safety; the radiator chaff guard and reversing fan keeps out debris; the fold-out cooling package is easy to clean, as is the flat floor with drainage channels; and most service intervals, including boom lubrication, are a lengthy 500 hours.

Every JCB Loadall has a one-piece fully welded chassis for maximum strength and minimum weight. Hoses are routed through the boom and lights fold away to protect against site damage. The U-shaped boom with integrated boom nose and one-piece closing plate has reduced joints and stress points.

Key components like Loadall transmissions are tested over thousands of cycles and all of our manufacturing processes are backed by ISO 9001:2008.

WORKING ENVIRONMENT

The JCB 527-58 Wastemaster Loadall has class-leading comfort, not least because of its spacious, safe, side-entry cab. Visibility is superb and there are stable doors for ventilation, all of which is just the start; we invest in the telehandler operator’s comfort because it equates to real, measurable improvements in day-long productivity.

This means building everything around the operator, from a fully adjustable suspension seat and steering column, mobile phone holder and intelligently placed air vents, to ergonomic controls on the front console.

Controls on the JCB 527-58 Wastemaster telehandler are intelligently grouped for instinctive use, with hydraulic and transmission controls laid out for quick, safe and precise operation. The load moment indicator, providing progressive read out of forward stability, is at eye level for easy checks and maximum safety.

In fact, the only people who might lose out with the 527-58 Wastemaster Loadall are potential thieves and vandals; all Loadall windows are etched with serial numbers, and a battery isolator immobilises the machine.
