JCB’s new 215T compact track loaderJCB has designed its new compact track loaders, the 210T and 215T, to be small enough for work in confined spaces, but packed it with enough power for lifting a pallet of sod or brick.
The machines weigh less than 10,000 pounds each and have 74-horsepower JCB Diesel by Kohler engines that require no diesel particulate filter or diesel exhaust fluid.
The radial-lift 210T has a rated operating capacity of 1,900 pounds at 35 percent of tipping load and 2,650 pounds at 50 percent. The vertical-lift 215T has a rated operating capacity of 2,100 pounds at 35 percent tipping load and 3,000 pounds at 50 percent. An optional bolt-on chassis counterweight allows additional capacity.
Both machines can operate high-flow of attachments of up to 30 gallons per minute, the company says. They have JCB’s single boom design, which gives operators 60 percent more visibility than conventional twin-arm skid steer designs, the company says.
JCB also says it simplified the cab, added a wide-opening side door and made it 46 percent larger than CTLs of similar size.
