The new machine was jointly unveiled by Krishna Awale, Treasurer of the Federation of Nepalese Brick Industries, and Hirakaji Shrestha Jew, Managing Director of Hira Bricks Industries.

The JCB ‘Side Engine Telehandler’ is available in two variants of 7 and 11 meters. The new machine features a side engine, narrow chassis, glass door, cab-bottom fuel tank, battery compartment, an elevator-attached single boom that improves hydraulic cycle time by 28 percent and increases productivity by 33 percent.

The engine is moved to the side which makes the sound work and the operator comfortable. Similarly, the hydraulic tank is pushed back which improves the balance of the machine. The new machine has a ‘Quick Hitch’ which makes it easier to change buckets and attachments, speeding up the machine’s performance. Due to these features, the new JCB ‘Side Engine Telehandler’ will meet customer expectations and prove to be a game-changer in the Nepali construction equipment market.

The design and performance of the new machine is based on JCB’s global standards that benefit both the machine owner and the operator.

Based on the latest technology, this machine can be considered as JCB’s ‘futuristic machine’.
