The new JCB TLT 35D 4x4 meets the stringent EPA Tier 4 Final emission regulations without the use of a DPF and is powered by JCB Diesel by Kohler engine providing 62hp  (46kW) of power at 2600rpm.

The model shown at Conexpo features traction tires, full ROPS and FOPS canopy with an additional full body protective Wastemaster kit for the waste and recycling industry as well as other arduous environments. Front and rear work lights are fitted as standard as well as a front screen guard for increased operator protection.

With a telescopic boom instead of a mast, the JCB Teletruk offers significant advantages over conventional forklifts. With its ability to reach forwards, loads can be lifted and placed quickly making it an indispensable material handler for all industries.

The JCB Teletruk is capable of extreme site flexibility through the use of other attachments such as conventional forks or rotators. It can maximize the use of these through the combined dexterity of forwards reach, elevation, and fork carriage rotation through a 111 degree arc.

Another key benefit of the JCB TLT 35D 4x4 is its time and space saving capability. Forward reach allows it to load and unload delivery trucks from one side only - saving up to 50% of site loading space. This also means curtain side trucks only need to be opened from one side and site safety can be improved by distancing forklift operations from pedestrians.

The JCB TLT 35D 4x4 comes with a fully-enclosed hydrostatic drive system as standard for added protection. It boasts a maximum lift capacity of 7,000lb with 3,750lb at 6ft forward reach. Maximum lift height is 14.4 ft and the machine is able to turn in a short radius. This 4x4 model has been designed with rough-surface yards and gradients in mind, the sort of surface conditions which would be unsuitable for ordinary lift trucks. For those heavier and tougher applications, additional bodywork protection has been added – full underbelly plate, front apron plate and metal side door. A wide core radiator is also fitted to aid in keeping the radiator clear of debris.

As an additional safety feature the Teletruk seat is also fitted with an operator presence switch. If an operator isn’t seated, then the machine will not start. If the operator leaves the seat while the machine is in motion, it will come to a controlled stop and not move until the operator is seated again.
