2006-2013 JCB 426BHT WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The JCB 426BHT wheel loader is a robust machine tailored for heavy-duty construction tasks, combining power, efficiency, and durability. It features a turbocharged 6-cylinder engine (model 1006-60T) delivering 144 hp gross (132 hp net) at 2200 rpm, with peak torque at 1400 rpm. The loader has a substantial breakout force of 27,426.7 lbs, paired with a 2.4 cubic yard heaped bucket capacity and an 8.2-foot-wide bucket, enabling high productivity in material handling. The machine offers significant reach (3.3 ft at max lift and dump) and a dump clearance of 9.5 ft at max raise, facilitating efficient load discharge. The wheelbase measures 9.6 ft, with overall machine length at 21.5 ft. Its hydraulic system includes variable displacement piston pumps with load sensing, delivering 58.2 gallons per minute flow to optimize power use, with raise and lower times of 4.8 and 3.4 seconds respectively. The transmission is a 4-wheel drive semi-autoshift full powershift setup, providing 4 forward and 3 reverse gears, and max speeds of 23.6 mph forward and 16.8 mph reverse. Additional specifications include 17.5x25 12-ply tires, 1.3 ft ground clearance, and a cab height of 10.4 ft. Fluid capacities cover 56.1 gallons fuel, 55.5 gallons hydraulic system, plus relevant cooling, oil, and axle fluid volumes. Rear axle oscillation is rated at 25°. The 426BHT combines high operating voltage (24V), advanced hydraulics, and robust mechanical design for reliable performance in demanding environments.
