540-200

JCB’s DIESELMAX motor produces high levels of power and torque even at low engine speeds, which means that a JCB Construction Loadall can provide fuel-efficient matching of transmission and hydraulics.

A JCB 540-140 telescopic handler is a great asset in so many respects, not least financially – huge global demand, plus legendary productivity and superb build quality equals maximum resale value.

The 540-140 comes with 4WD as standard, helping you maintain plenty of traction and performance even in soft, muddy areas.

JCB’s optional transmission dump on the foot brake diverts engine power for improved hydraulic cycle times and superb multi-functioning when loading or rehandling.

Its parallel lift capability means the 540-140 Loadall offers excellent load retention.

The JCB 540-140 Loadall has class-leading comfort, not least because of its spacious, safe, side-entry cab. Visibility is also superb and there are stable doors for ventilation.

This telescopic handler has a fully adjustable suspension seat and steering column, mobile phone holder and intelligently placed air vents, to ergonomic controls on the front console.

Controls on the JCB 540-140 telehandler are intelligently grouped for instinctive use, with hydraulic, transmission and stabiliser controls laid out for quick, safe and precise operation.

A JCB 540-140 Loadall is fitted with a tough inverted U-shaped boom pressing with fully welded closing plates. For extra strength we limit the number of joints and stress points across our integrated boom nose and one-piece closing plate.

The boom on a 540-140 is mounted low in the chassis, providing a rigid structure and maximum over-the-shoulder visibility. Hoses are routed through the boom for maximum protection, while boom overlaps of up to 1.0m ensure ultimate strength and durability.

JCB 540-140 telehandler engines are tried and tested; we’ve built 200,000 DIESELMAX units since 2004, and fitted them to a variety of machines across different applications and environments.

There’s a radiator chaff guard and a reversing fan to keep out debris on this JCB Loadall.

The new 540-140 telescopic handler’s stringent testing programme has included prolonged high stress loading of the chassis, boom and other key components, as well as repeated transmission use over thousands of cycles.

A one-piece fully welded chassis maximises the strength and minimises the weight of the JCB 540-140.

Every JCB Loadall is designed to maximise uptime and productivity. To do that, we make sure our components last a long time and, when routine replacements need to take place, we make sure everything important is easily accessible.

All daily checks and greasing on a 540-140 Loadall can be carried out at ground level; engine oil, hydraulic and fuel filters are centrally located for convenience. The air filter is also easily accessible, and easy to clean.

For fast, easy inspection of 3 sides of the engine, this telescopic handler has a large, wide service bay, accessed by a gas-assisted bonnet. The fold-out cooling package is easy to clean, as is the flat floor with drainage channels.
