Technical Description
The JCB 426HT High Lift wheel loader is a robust and versatile machine engineered for demanding material handling tasks. Powered by a 6-cylinder, turbocharged wastegated Cummins QB6.7 engine with a displacement of 408.9 cu in, it delivers 152 hp (113 kW) net power at 2200 rpm and 540 lb-ft of torque at 1400 rpm, ensuring strong performance and fuel efficiency. The loader features a Smooth Shift power shift transmission with four forward and three reverse gears, enabling seamless gear changes and optimal productivity. Hydraulic operation is managed by twin variable displacement piston pumps, providing a flow capacity of 69.8 gal/min (261 l/min) and a relief valve setting of 3625 psi for responsive, multi-functional control. The loader achieves a maximum lift height of 13.7 ft (4 m) with a dump clearance of 10.7 ft (3 m) at full lift, and a hinge pin height of 14.3 ft (4 m). The bucket offers a heaped capacity of 2.5 cu yds (2 m³) and a struck capacity of 2.2 cu yds (2 m³), with a breakout force of 31,023.7 lbs (14,072 kg). The machine has an operating weight of 29,436 lbs (13,352 kg) and is equipped with 20.5R25 XHA(L3) tires. Key dimensions include a length of 23.8 ft (7 m) with bucket on ground, a wheelbase of 9.9 ft (3 m), and a width over tires of 8.6 ft (2 m). The hydraulic system features rapid cycle times: 4.4 seconds to raise, 2.7 seconds to lower, and 1 second to dump. The loader is fitted with a 24V electrical system, 70A alternator, and a turning radius of 20.7 ft (6 m). Fluid capacities include 61 gal (231 l) fuel, 55 gal (208 l) hydraulic fluid, 9 gal (34 l) cooling system, 3.7 gal (11 l) engine oil, 10.3 gal (38 l) front diff, 9.8 gal (34 l) rear diff, and 7 gal (27 l) transmission.
