COST OF OWNERSHIP

    JCB’s innovative Clean Burn technology helps EcoMax to meet Tier 4 Final regulations using a sealed-for-life SCR system instead of exhaust after-treatments like a DPF. Benefits include the fact that you don’t have to worry about costly, time-consuming DPF regeneration and replacement.  

    An LED screen on the JCB 540-140 HiViz Loadall’s dash provides useful information for efficient running, like fuel remaining, fuel used since last fill, current average fuel consumption, DEF level and any current warnings.  

    The 55kW/74hp engine variant fit to this telehandler will remain free of after-treatment and DEF until 2019. This is achieved by the unique ability to perfectly match all JCB built components for unbeatable performance and efficiency.  

    By producing high levels of power and torque even at engine speeds as low as 1,300rpm, EcoMax can provide fuel-efficient matching of transmission and hydraulics.  

    JCB telescopic handlers enjoy proven demand supported by legendary productivity and build quality, ensuring high residuals the world over. EcoMax can be adapted to run on lower-grade fuels, making Construction telescopic handlers easily resalable across different territories, boosting residual values.

RUN TIME

    Fluid filters (engine oil, hydraulic oil and fuel) are centrally located for fast, easy servicing. The air filter is easily accessible too, and its double-element design simplifies cleaning; yet another reason why JCB Construction telescopic handlers have best-in-class SAE serviceability ratings.  

    All daily checks and greasing on the JCB 540-140 HiViz can be performed at ground level. It’s also easy to fill the diesel and DEF tanks from ground level, with both tanks equipped with pre-filters in the filler necks to guard against dirt and contaminants.  

    You can access the battery easily on this telescopic handler (and without specialty tools) via a lockable cover that’s opened with the ignition key.  

    A dry lubricant system means the JCB 540-140 HiViz’s wear pads are extremely durable, with service intervals of 500 hours.  

    This telehandler doesn’t use DPF technology, so there’s no loss of productivity during the regeneration process, nor the extra expense of replacing a DPF.  

    To prove how good our EcoMax engines are, we’ve tested them for 110,000 hours in 70 different machines across the toughest applications and environments.

COMFORT AND EASE OF USE

    The backlit switches on a JCB 540-140 HiViz telescopic handler are crystal clear, even in the dark. And new instruments and a hi-res TFT screen form an intuitive automotive-style layout.  

    To create the perfect driving position, opt for the easily adjustable tilting telescopic steering column.  

    A 7-speed fan heater creates the most comfortable, productive operator environment on board this telescopic handler. Visibility is excellent, courtesy of direct glazing, a large roof screen and standard-fit tinted cab glass.  

    Roof bars are strategically placed for maximum visibility when placing at height. Choose cab, front and rear lights for ultimate visibility.  

    There are new, single lever controls fit to our latest telescoic handler range, including the 540-140 HiViz. This innovation reduces operator fatigue by 8%, raising concentration levels and site safety. Choose the optional servo joystick for the ultimate in fast and precise control.

SAFE AND SECURE

    A low boom profile and low boom pivot make for excellent rearward visibility on the JCB 540-140 HiViz telescopic handler, likewise the full set of side and rear-view mirrors. Because EcoMax doesn’t use a DPF, the hood line is lower, improving both visibility and manoeuvrability.  

    In many territories, our telescopic handler security system is Thatcham-approved. The package comprises a JCB LiveLink telematic GPS vehicle tracker, an immobilzer and a Cesar Datatag.  

    The cab is Roll Over Protection System (ROPS) and Falling Objects Protection System (FOPS) certified, so operators are safe at all times. Sway frames enable an operator to make their telehandler absolutely level before startomg lifting.  

    To protect bystanders, a reverse alarm is standard-fit on the JCB 540-140 HiViz, and an operator presence switch disables drive when your operator isn’t seated, preventing accidental operation.  

    Our factory-fit immobilizers can result in reduced insurance premiums. You can choose whether your immobilizer is operated by a key or a 4-digit code keypad that automatically arms itself after a set period of time following engine shutdown.  

    Hose burst check valves (HBCVs) are fit as standard to the rams, preventing a collapse in the event of hose failure.  

    LiveLink tracking provides valuable, real-time machine location data. Geofencing alerts help to ensure your machine is only used in specified areas.

STRENGTH AND DURABILITY

    Heavy-duty axle feet help the JCB 540-140 HiViz Construction telescopic handler to absorb the immense stresses generated during continuous heavy material rehandling applications, while a one-piece, fully welded chassis maximizes strength and minimizes weight.  

    There’s a tough U-shaped boom pressing with fully welded closing plates.

    For extra strength, there are large boom overlaps of up to 1.0m; we’ve also reduced joints and stress points across our integrated boom nose and one-piece closing plate.  

    To provide long-term corrosion protection, we dip JCB Construction telescopic handler cabs in electrophoretic ally prior to painting. Keyhole castings hold the tilt and extension rams in place to further improve overall structural integrity.  

    Hydraulic hoses are intelligently routed through the boom for maximum protection; the hood is side-mounted, which protects it from site damage; and rear lights fold up to keep them clear and well protected from damage when working on site.  

    The boom on a JCB 540-140 HiViz Construction Loadall telehandler is mounted low in the chassis, providing an extremely rigid structure and maximum over-the-shoulder visibility.  

    The new Construction telescopic handler range’s stringent testing program has included prolonged high stress loading of the chassis, boom and other key components, as well as repeated transmission use of thousands of cycles.  

    Optional front and sunroof guards offer additional protection from falling debris.

ULTIMATE PERFORMANCE, ULTIMATE PRODUCTIVITY

    Class-leading JCB hydraulics produce the fastest cycle times, ensuring the most efficient lifting, extending and pushing.  

    The JCB 540-140 HiViz Construction telescopic handler boasts excellent manoeuvrability and fast travel times across site, courtesy of a compact wheelbase and large steering lock angles.   

    With 4WD as standard, you get plenty of traction and performance even in soft, muddy areas. 2WD can be selected to minimize tire wear and fuel use.  

    The JCB EcoMax Tier 4 Final engine delivers 75hp (55kW) of power and 400Nm of torque. This is produced at just 1,300 rpm, offering you optimum response, as well as improved cycle times and tractive effort.

    JCB’s optional Smoothride System (SRS) improves load retention and increases operator comfort (and therefore productivity) when travelling at speed on the road or on uneven fields. You can now also engage SRS manually with the boom in any position.  

    Multi-function single lever servo control provides fast and accurate load placement. Controlling your 540-140 HiViz telescopic handlers direction is easy too, with just the flick of a switch.  

    The 81kW (109hp) and 93kW (125hp) EcoMax engine options are fit with a variable speed cooling fan that automatically reacts to ambient temperature, adjusting fan speed for maximum economy and minimum noise. An optional reversing fan can clear dust and debris from your telescopic handler’s cooling system to maintain performance.
