JCB 524-50

Production and Performance Permanent four-wheel drive and four-wheel steer, together with the compact machine size, means an exceptionally tight turning circle with an outside turning radius of just nine-feet 10 inches, provides great maneuverability and handling in small yards. Powered by an 83 horsepower JCB Dieselmax engine with four equal sized tires, enhance tractive effort to give excellent loader performance in adverse conditions. In addition, flotation over soft ground conditions and ground clearance are first class. Variable, two-speed hydrostatic transmission provides an 18.6 miles-per-hour travel speed that allows the operator to road between job sites, increasing productivity. A full power tracking sytem ensures maximum safety and machine stability. Direct acting brakes on each wheel are activated through JCB Max-Trac torque proportioning axles with outboard planetary drive for maximum control. A two-section boom provides a 16 foot five-inch lift capacity of 5,000 pounds to full height. Operator Comfort The comfortable cab is very easy to work in, thanks to the ergonomically positioned instrumentation and controls helping to minimize fatigue. A low, six-foot 11 inch overall height allows access into confining areas. A centrally-mounted cab provides the operator with panoramic forward visibility, while the low boom design means that there is nothing obsuring the view to the rear of the machine. , Telehandlers, Telehandlers
