PRODUCTIVE PERFORMANCE.

JCB AND KOHLER HAVE PRODUCED THE ULTIMATE COMPACT WHEEL LOADER ENGINE.

There are several axle options available including open diffs for for hard ground and limited slip differentials for soft, muddy terrain.
The 100% switchable front axle diff lock option provides ultimate traction on mud and creates no shear forces, so won't damage the ground when it's not in use.
Hydrostatic drive makes the 406 very easy to operate even for the inexperienced.

QUALITY, RELIABILITY AND DURABILITY.

AT JCB, WE UNDERSTAND THAT A WHEEL LOADER IS A KEY PART OF ANY ON-SITE PROCESS.

We've used only the very finest engine, driveline and axle components on the 406 wheel loader, from suppliers like DANA and Bosch.
The 406 benefits from a strong chassis and the best possible weight distribution; this allows for optimal absorption of external forces.
Rear lights are recessed within the solid counterweight casting for impact protection.

The sloping rear bonnet provides an unimpeded view, with the exhaust silencer and air intake filter both packaged out of sight.

406 Toolmaster

A JCB 406 wheel loader is a highly versatile, productive machine in its standard trim. Our new toolmaster model might just be the one and only machine you need to complete a job.

With a rear-mounted hydraulic handheld tool circuit, you can operate a wealth of attachments, including breakers, pumps and disc cutters. There's no need for additional powerpacks or equipment either, which improves fuel consumption. Not only that but one person can drive the loader and operate the attachments themselves, reducing your manpower needs.
