JCB 506C Specifications
The JCB 506C Loadall is a compact yet high-capacity
telescopic handler designed for construction, industrial handling, agricultural
support, and rental fleet operations where high lift capability, strong breakout
force, and robust driveline durability are required.
With a maximum rated payload of 6,000 lb (2,722
kg), a maximum lift height of 36 ft (11.0 m), and a maximum forward
reach of approximately 22 ft 9 in (7.0 m), the 506C delivers excellent
performance in confined job sites while maintaining full
four-wheel-drive traction and advanced multi-mode steering.
The machine combines JCB’s Dieselmax 4.4 L engine, a
torque-converter-based powershift drivetrain, heavy-duty epicyclic
axles, and a high-flow hydraulic system. Its box-section boom is
manufactured from high-tensile steel for durability and torsional
rigidity, while the enclosed ROPS/FOPS cab provides operator comfort,
safety, and excellent all-around visibility.
The 506C is well regarded for its mechanical
simplicity, ease of maintenance, and long service life in demanding
environments.
The JCB 506C is powered by the JCB Dieselmax
four-cylinder industrial diesel engine. This engine is naturally aspirated in
standard 506C configuration and turbocharged in optional variants.
