As a hugely popular machinery manufacturer on the UK, you would expect there to be a wide choice of JCB wheel loaders (wheeled loaders) for sale at PlantPages – and you’d be right. JCB wheeled loaders are usually the most common brand of front end loader on the site. Launched back in 1969, JCB has had more than 50 years of experience of wheel loader manufacturing. Popular with farmers and waste management companies alike – there is a special ‘Wastemaster’ version and an ‘Agri Farm Master’ version – JCB loading shovels, as they are also known, are identifiable by their ‘400’ series model numbering. The current model lineup numbers 21 different examples, from the smallest 2.5 tonne 403 up to the 20 tonne 457 with stage V engines. Many of the mid-sized loaders benefit from JCB’s tie up back in 2013 with engine manufacturer Kohler to reach the emissions standards. Don’t just think of these machines as loading shovels. With a range of attachments, they are equally at home lifting logs or even palletised goods on forks.
