The telehandler 360 is the latest innovation from industry heavyweight JCB. Its unique design offers the benefits of three machines in one: the access capability of a MEWP (mobile elevating work platform), the reach and lifting capacity of a crane and the manoeuvrability of a telehandler.

The machine features a fork that can tilt up and down to position objects at different heights. Additionally, it has stabilisers that can be angled up or down, which makes the telehandler more stable when transporting loads. Moreover, a frame levelling system helps to ensure that the telehandler remains level on uneven ground.

It also has a large opening, high pivoting second joystick arm and anti slip steps on every side to make it easy to climb in and out of the machine. Its separate load monitoring and machine screens offer simple, clear information and its ‘hydraulics to go’ controls allow operators to quickly configure the vehicle for their task.
