JCB 540-170

Forklifts and warehouse trucks

The JCB 540-170 is a heavy duty telescopic handler capable of lifting loads up to 4000kg to a maximum height of around 17 metres. It is built for construction and industrial sites where high reach combined with strong lift capacity is needed. The model sits in the larger end of JCB's Loadall telehandler range, typically powered by a JCB diesel engine with hydrostatic or powershift transmission options.

We recognise this model across the auction sites and keep every one we see together.

On a used one

Check the condition of the boom extension and retraction mechanism, as wear in the slide pads can develop over time. Inspect hydraulic hoses and rams for leaks, and verify service history given the heavy duty use these machines often see.
