When it comes to telehandlers for larger jobs, the JCB 535 is one of my personal favourites. With its compact but powerful boom section and full-sized three-stage Loadall, the machine has a vast reach and lifting capacity. Combined with its superior visibility compared to other telehandlers, the JCB 535 is a staple of any construction site.
Specifications of the JCB 535 Telehandler
Let’s start with the specifics. The JCB 535 is sized at 12.5 metres with a width of 2,350 mm. It has an approximate weight of 9,140 kg, just under ten tonnes. Moving on to the really exciting metrics, the machine’s lifting power. The JCB 535 has a maximum lift height of 12 metres and a lift capacity of 3,500 kg, making it perfect for moving heavy material around a construction site. Finally, this telehandler has a forward reach of 8 metres; it is as agile as it is powerful.
The JCB 535 takes diesel fuel and is renowned for being one of the cleanest in JCB’s range. It is equipped with a Dieselmax Stage V engine, which, according to JCB themselves, is “ultra clean and efficient”. When you fill-up a machine like the 535, you know that you are getting the most out of your investment.
When to Use the JCB 535 Telehandler
Due to its size, the JCB 535 is ideal for larger construction projects, like housing sites. With its state-of-the-art hydraulics, the machine is famed for its efficient performance. Large, commercial construction sites are usually held to strict time schedules, so the JCB 535’s efficiency makes it a fan-favourite.
This telehandler also comes with several accessories, so you can tailor your machine to the job at hand. These can range from a tipping skip for quick and easy waste removal to a truss jib, perfect for lifting roof trusses into position. Ultimately, the JCB 535’s unbeatable lifting power and capacity, combined with its many accessories, makes it the perfect addition to a wide range of large construction sites.
