JCB 426HT WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The JCB 426HT Wheel Loader is a high-performance machine designed for demanding lifting and loading tasks. It features a powerful turbocharged 6-cylinder QB6.7 engine delivering 165 hp (123 kW) and 540 lb-ft torque, optimized at 2200 rpm and 1400 rpm respectively, ensuring robust power and efficient fuel use. The loader is equipped with a 2.5 cubic yard (2 m³) heaped bucket capacity and a breakout force of 31,023.7 lbs (14,072 kg), making it highly effective for heavy-material handling. Its hydraulic system includes twin variable displacement piston pumps with a flow capacity of 69.8 gal/min (261 l/min) and a relief valve setting at 3625 psi, providing fast cycle times with a 4.4-second raise, 1-second dump, and 2.7-second lower time for enhanced productivity. Dimensionally, the 426HT has a wheelbase of 9.9 ft (3 m), an operating weight of approximately 28,841 lbs (13,082 kg), and measures 22.5 ft (7 m) in length with an 8.2 ft (2 m) width over tires. It offers a maximum lift height of 12.2 ft (4 m) and hinge pin height of 12.9 ft (4 m), with a turning radius of 19 ft (6 m), facilitating excellent maneuverability. The machine’s transmission is a smooth shift powershift type with 4 forward and 3 reverse gears, achieving speeds up to 23.5 mph (37 kph). Additional features include a 70-amp alternator, comprehensive fluid capacities for cooling, engine oil, and hydraulics, and robust Michelin 20.5R25 XHA (L3) tires. The 426HT's cab height is 11 ft (3 m), offering operator comfort and visibility, while its rear axle oscillation of 21° ensures stability on uneven terrain. This wheel loader is engineered for durability and efficiency across diverse construction and material handling applications.
