JCB 510-56 Specifications

Basic Information

The JCB 510-56 Loadall is a high-reach, high-capacity telescopic handler designed for heavy-duty construction, infrastructure projects, steel erection, industrial material handling, and demanding rental fleet applications. Positioned above the 509-42, the 510-56 introduces stabilizer-assisted lifting, significantly increased vertical reach, and higher maximum capacities at height, making it suitable for tasks normally reserved for small cranes or larger rough-terrain machines.

With a maximum rated payload of 10,000 lb (4,537 kg), a maximum lift height of 56 ft (17.07 m), and a maximum forward reach of 42 ft (12.8 m), the 510-56 delivers exceptional lift-and-place capability.

The machine is built around JCB’s proven Loadall architecture and incorporates the Dieselmax 4.4-liter turbocharged engine, a heavy-duty four-speed powershift transmission, permanent four-wheel drive, epicyclic axles, rear axle stabilization, and front stabilizers for high-reach work.

A reinforced high-tensile steel boom, high-capacity hydraulic system, and advanced load charts ensure safe and predictable handling both on tires and with stabilizers deployed. Designed to comply with ANSI/ITSDF and ASME B56.6 standards, the 510-56 emphasizes safety, durability, serviceability, and long-term reliability in severe operating environments.
