Efficiency and Versatility from the JCB Teletruck

1. Efficiency and Versatility from the JCB Teletruck Purchasing a used Teletruck offers numerous advantages for the buyer JCB developed the Teletruk in 1997, revolutionising the forklift truck industry. The Teletruk features a telescopic boom instead of the vertical mast found on conventional forklifts. Over the years, the JCB Teletruck has solidified its reputation as the master of all forklift trucks, offering improved site safety, increased productivity, increased yard space and huge financial savings. Buying a used JCB Teletruck Buyers may be wary of purchasing a used JCB Teletruck, much like most are wary of buying a used car. However, the robust design and durability of the Teletruck means it is a perfect candidate for resale. If the dealer is JCB approved, one can expect to benefit from many more years of faithful service from this workhorse in addition to great financial savings from the word go. What a Teletruck can do The JCB Teletruck does everything a conventional masted forklift can do, only more. Thanks to the telescopic boom, the Teletruck can load and unload a lorry trailer from one side only, resulting in a 50% saving on yard loading space. The book can reach over gaps, such as platform gaps and the quayside, enabling trains and ships to be loaded and unloaded from one side. The small footprint and turning circle allow access in narrow aisles while a 4WD option offers access over poor ground conditions. The telescopic boom offers 5150mm reach and 3500kg lift capacity, with a maximum reach capacity of 2400kg at 2m forwards reach. Negative left allows the Teletruck to reach below ground level or below the deck of a ship. Improving operational efficiency In addition to the saving on yard loading space, the JCB Teletruck can often do the work of five machines on site, including a conventional masted forklift, skid steer, telescopic handler, compact wheeled loader and rough terrain fork lift. This reduces the required machine fleet and gets more work done onsite every shift. Options such as the JCB Changezee may also be available to purchase in used condition. The Changezee is a hydraulic quick-disconnect carriage that allows the operator to change attachments within 30 seconds without having to leave the cab – an innovation that saw JCB win the Fork Lift Truck Association Award for Ergonomics. More industry-specific optional attachments are available.

2. Safety first If safety is a concern, the leading option is a JCB Teletruck. Used models will offer the same standard safety features that have made the Teletruck arguably the world’s safest forklift and should be checked before purchasing used. With the side-mounted boom, there is no mast blocking the view ahead and there is total visibility of fork tips and attachments when fully retracted and lowered. Hose burst check valves prevent any loss of pressure in the hydraulic cylinders and a safety- interlocked operation system on the Changezee reduced any risk of mishandling and the standard battery isolator key prevents unauthorised use. The operator enclosure conforms to international ROPS/FOPS regulations and features a front screen guard, optional speed control and lap belts. Making the right choice The Teletruck’s robust construction, backed up by rigorous testing, will give any buyer excellent stability, rigidity, reliability and all-round unrivalled performance. While maintenance on a JCB Teletruck is minimal in comparison to conventional forklifts, a full service history should be requested when purchasing used. In conclusion, with a few checks and balances in place, a used JCB Teletruck can be a rewarding purchase that will offer many more years of service in the yard, in the warehouse, on the quayside or on site, wherever that may be.
