Peter Haddock gets the Lowdown on JCB Products at Letsrecycle Live
It was the first time Peter had been up close to see the all-electric Teletruk, and for a small machine, it packs a serious punch. Known as the JCB 30-19E it has a maximum lift capacity of 3000kg with a maximum lift height of 4m.
More importantly for the waste sector, it is capable of lifting 1,900kg at a 2m lift high, making it ideal for loading materials. Unlike the other electric models, JCB has cleverly designed a lead acid battery into this machine, and at just over 1 tonne, it acts as a perfect counterweight for the machine. Interestingly it is also replaceable, being lifted out and replaced by a fully charged spare.
This allows customers to do a full shift on one battery and swap it out to even do a triple shift. With Zero emissions at the point of use, it can work both indoors and outdoors and with the impressive fork attachments available (see the video), it’s a real workhorse.
The Wastemaster is a machine specifically designed to work in the sector with specialist protection around the machine as well as for the operator. It features solid tyres and a new 130hp Stage V JCB DieselMax engine that works on HVO fuel, like all the other Stage V machines from JCB.
Other key highlights include: - CommandPlus cab with 12% increase in size. - 50% reduction in cab noise to 69dBA. - 14% increase in upward visibility through one-piece curved glazing - 7.9m Maximum lift height - 6000kg maximum lift capacity It also sports the CESAR Scheme tag and Emissions Compliance Verification stickers to protect it from theft whilst displaying its environmental credentials.
