JCB 426 HT HIGH LIFT WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The JCB 426 HT High Lift wheel loader is a robust, productive machine ideal for high-loading applications such as hopper and lorry loading. It features a 5.9L six-cylinder Cummins diesel engine delivering 152 hp (113 kW) and 540 lb-ft (732 Nm) torque, compliant with US EPA Tier 3, CARB Tier 3, and EU Stage 3 emissions standards. The engine is turbocharged and air-to-air intercooled, providing high torque at low RPMs for efficient bucket filling. Its operating weight is approximately 30,794 lbs (13,968 kg), supporting a rated bucket capacity of 2.8 cubic yards (2 m³). Equipped with a ZF 4-speed powershift automatic transmission and all-ZF axles, the 426 HT ensures smooth gear changes, maximized productivity, and fuel efficiency. The high torque (HT) loader arm design enables parallel lift and multi-attachment versatility, with a maximum dump clearance of 10.5 feet (3 meters). The hydraulic system features smart load sensing with twin variable displacement piston pumps providing up to 164 L/min, optimizing power use according to demand. Operator comfort is enhanced by a spacious, isolator-mounted cab with positive pressurization to reduce dust ingress, an in-cab display for machine monitoring, and optional Smoothride suspension to minimize shock and spillage. Maintenance is simplified with convenient ground-level grease points and wide-opening engine access panels. The tire configuration typically includes Michelin 20.5R25 XHA tires for durability and traction on various terrains. This wheel loader excels in durability, efficiency, and ease of operation in demanding construction and industrial environments.
