Being small but powerful makes the JCB 215T compact loader productive and ready to utilise power-hungry attachments.
The small-platform, JCB 215T vertical lift compact track loader with a 955kg-rated operating capacity is ideal for lifting and loading at height. Its tracks provide extra stability on uneven ground, and thanks to a large range of compatible attachments, it’s a versatile and hard-working machine well suited to landscape construction work.
Power and performance
With plenty of power and versatile features, the JCB 215T sets new standards for efficiency and productivity in skid-steer loaders.
Unlike conventional skid-steer cooling systems, JCBs pulls cool, clean air from above and force hot air out through the sides and rear, away from the operator.
All JCB machines feature an industry-standard quick hitch for quick coupling to all JCB attachments and other brands.
The standard hydraulic circuit on JCB small-platform machines delivers 70 litres per minute. A high-flow option up to up to 115 litres per minute is available for maximum attachment versatility.
Optional parallel lift makes it easier to position loads with forks or attachments on all JCB models, and JCB’s Smoothride System – SRS – option allows the boom and load to move independently from the chassis. This improves load retention, operator comfort, and faster loading cycle times.
Comfort and control
With easy side-door entry, the largest cabs on the market, electric controls and adjustable joystick controls, JCB skid-steer loaders offer high levels of comfort for maximum productivity.
On small-platform machines, JCB cabs are 46 per cent larger than the competition.
JCB’s myCHOICE control software allows operators to tailor the sensitivity of joystick movement to match the way they work, and ISO or H-pattern controls are available to suit operator preferences. ISO (single joystick transmission operation) comes as standard, but the H-pattern option can be added.
The radio features an AUX port that is compatible with mobile phones and other devices.
Strength and durability
JCB has earned its reputation for strong design with skid steers built tough to handle the demands of a wide range of applications and conditions. Fully-welded chassis provide a rigid structure for maximum strength and reduced weight, and a solid undercarriage with cast steel, triple-flanged rollers provides consistent performance on demanding terrain.
The unique JCB single-arm Powerboom™ boasts tapered pivot pins and 20 per cent more steel than conventional twin-arm skidsteer designs giving greater rigidity with less wear and improved retention of material in the bucket.
The Powerboom™ also provides safe internal routing for hydraulic hoses, giving maximum protection from impact and other damage, while the quick hitch has hightensile steel and high-strength welds for longer life.
For extra support and greater breakout force, JCB skid steers have the largest quick hitch pivot pins in the industry.
Simple servicing
JCB skid-steer loaders are low-maintenance and easy to service, making them affordable, efficient and highly productive. All daily checks can be performed at ground level. Pre-filters, oil and air filters are easy to access via a large, recessed, rear service door, and tilting cabs can be operated by one person. They open in just a few minutes to provide access for more detailed maintenance.
An O-ring face seals hydraulic fittings, reducing leaks and maintenance downtime, and for a quick clean-out with a power washer, the engine bay is easily accessible.
The machines also feature flat floors with no footwells for speedy turnaround times.
Safe
With a wide-opening side door for safe entry and exit, operators no longer need to climb over large attachments or under an unsupported boom.
JCB’s Powerboom™ loader arm provides 60 per cent better visibility around the machine than conventional twin-arm machines, and with no requirement for the rear torque tube found on conventional machines, operators benefit from even greater rear visibility.
A wide-opening side door allows easy and safe entry and exit, eliminating the hazards associated with front-entry skid steers, and tasks such as loading a truck or changing attachments are simplified due to excellent visibility to the cutting edge of the bucket and quick hitch.
