JCB’s first-ever diesel-powered telescopic boom lift has arrived in North America, the new T65D.
Unveiled at the ARA Show, the boom lift features a 74-horsepower JCB 444 EcoMAX engine, 360 degrees of continuous rotation and a 1,000-pound platform capacity – enough to hold three workers in the basket throughout its full operating range.
The T65D has a platform height of 65 feet, 4 inches and a platform reach of 56 feet 6 inches.
(To get a closer look at the all-new boom lift, check out our video above.)
The T65D comes with a standard 8-foot basket with three access points. It can handle 1,000 pounds in the basket through 80 percent of its range and 600 pounds through 100 percent of the range. A solid cast counterweight provides greater strength and stability to balance loads.
Enhanced safety features, including a secondary guarding system, protect operators against overhead crush hazards.
The 7-inch touchscreen ground display and 5-inch color basket display show operators the total load as a percentage of capacity, so there is no guessing as to whether you need to remove a hammer or worker to get back within range when overloaded, says Product Manager Connor Stanmore.
