JCB Skid Steer Loaders

Every JCB skid steer loader is built around the same award-winning PowerBoom single-arm design and side-entry cab, delivering more strength, more visibility and safer access than any conventional twin-arm machine. Strong hydraulics, low running costs and easy serviceability work together to keep operators productive in the tightest job sites.

Some of the core benefits of the JCB skid steer range include:

• Iconic PowerBoom Design: JCB's single-arm PowerBoom uses 20% more steel than conventional twin-arm designs, with tapered pivot pins and internally routed hydraulic hoses for greater strength, longer life and improved load retention.
• Revolutionary Side-Entry Safety Door: Traditional front-entry loaders force operators to climb over muddy, dangerous attachments to get in the cab. JCB's patented PowerBoom features a full-sized side door, allowing safe, effortless entry and exit at all times.
• Industry-Leading Visibility: 270° all-round visibility delivers 60% better visibility than conventional twin-arm skid steers, with low boom profile, large flat glazing and standard rear-view mirror or camera depending on model.
• No AdBlue or DEF Complexity: Our highly Efficient JCB Diesel by Kohler and EcoMAX engines deliver peak torque at low revs, without the added cost, hassle, or maintenance complexity of AdBlue exhaust fluid, keeping your daily fuel bills exceptionally low.
• Versatile Hydraulic Packages: Standard flow from 70 to 90 l/min and high-flow options up to 125 l/min, plus an industry-standard quick hitch that takes any major attachment brand, lets one machine cover buckets, forks, sweepers, breakers, grabs and more.
• Largest Cabs on the Market: JCB cabs are up to 46% larger than competitors on small-platform models and 33% larger on large-platform machines, with adjustable joystick controls, optional heated air-suspension seat and excellent ventilation.
• Easy Servicing: All daily checks at ground level, one-person tilting cab access in minutes, recessed rear service door and 500-hour engine oil intervals keep maintenance simple and uptime high.
