JCB 514-56 Specifications

Basic Information

The JCB 514-56 Loadall is a high-capacity, long-reach telescopic handler engineered for the most demanding construction, infrastructure, industrial, and material-handling applications. As the most powerful model within the rigid-frame 56 ft Loadall range, the 514-56 is designed to safely handle heavy loads at significant height and reach, effectively bridging the operational gap between conventional telehandlers and mobile cranes.

With a maximum rated lift capacity of 14,000 lb (6,350 kg), a maximum lift height of 56 ft (17.07 m), and a maximum forward reach of 42 ft (12.8 m), the 514-56 delivers exceptional lifting performance both on tires and with stabilizers deployed. The machine incorporates a high-output JCB Dieselmax engine, a heavy-duty powershift drivetrain, permanent four-wheel drive, epicyclic axles, front stabilizers, and Automatic Rear Axle Stabilization (RAS).

A reinforced high-tensile steel boom, high-capacity hydraulics, and comprehensive load charts ensure predictable, controlled, and safe operation throughout the full working envelope. Designed in compliance with ANSI/ITSDF and ASME B56.6 standards, the 514-56 prioritizes safety, durability, serviceability, and long-term reliability in severe duty cycles.
