This is a machine of heavy industry, high capacity, and long days. JCB has proven with this model that if you need a machine to take some serious weight, without sacrificing anything in the maneuverability department; You can have it all, without compromise. This is the kind of design that has made JCB an industry-standard in both material handlers like the 512-56, other machinery for decades. Let’s run through specs on this workhorse and some of the tasks that you will find it to be well suited to.

Just Weight

This machine is a heavy lifter. With a 12,000 lb. capacity (scoped in) this is a great machine for heavy industry and the trades that deal with it. Steel trades such as ironworkers and pipefitters will make use of that capacity as will form workers on industrial and heavy commercial type sites. One thing that makes this machine extremely advantageous, is what the extra capacity doesn’t come with. Often, when a machine is built to lift more, it is also built to be larger. The JCB 512-56 actually retains the same footprint and dimensions as its little brother in the series but can outlift it by 2,000 lbs.! This comes with some huge advantages, without sacrificing any load stability. The ability to lift extra weight and remain agile makes it an ideal choice for the heavier builders, who need the capacity and have the footing to support all the weight involved. For example, this would be a great machine to have in the yard at any supplier or carrier of heavy materials such as a steel fabricator shop or pipe supplier. The ability to take on a heavier load in these logistical situations allows for trucks to be unloaded or loaded faster, making it an ideal investment in a heavy manufacturing environment. The EcoMax engine by JCB is also well designed to give maximum torque and power while minimizing emissions and fuel consumption. All JCB Telehandlers are made through their Efficient Design Program, which prioritizes minimizing fuel consumption. It’s good business and it’s also better for the environment while keeping fuel dollars in your pocket. It’s not all dandelions and rainbows, though: This machine came to conquer the job site and can take on the work that the big sites throw at it. These can be used to tow self-erect cranes that are commonly used on framing sites and can be comfortably used to ballast them during setup. That saves you on renting a truck and crane during setup and will act as a second crane and forklift during the rest of the job, essentially doubling productivity while reducing costs.
