JCB 456HT HIGH LIFT WHEEL LOADER

Technical Description

The JCB 456HT High Lift Wheel Loader is a robust, high-performance machine engineered for demanding material handling tasks. With a bucket capacity of 4.9 cu yds (3 m³) heaped and 3.8 cu yds (2 m³) struck, and a bucket width of 9.4 ft (3 m), it delivers exceptional loading efficiency. The loader achieves a dump clearance of 13.1 ft (4 m) at maximum raise, with a hinge pin height of 16.4 ft (5 m) for superior reach. Its overall length with bucket on ground is 31.1 ft (9 m), a wheelbase of 6.9 ft (2 m), and a width over tires of 8.9 ft (2 m), providing excellent maneuverability and stability. The machine features a turbocharged QSC 8.3 engine, producing 207 hp (154 kW) gross and 215 hp (160 kW) net, paired with a smooth shift powershift transmission offering four forward and three reverse gears. Maximum forward speed is 23.4 mph (37 kph), and reverse speed is 15.3 mph (24 kph). The hydraulic system utilizes a twin variable displacement piston pump, with a flow capacity of 43 gal/min (163 l/min) and a relief valve setting of 3625 psi, enabling rapid cycle times: 5.8 seconds to raise, 4.1 seconds to lower, and 1.2 seconds to dump. The loader is equipped with 23.5R25 XHA (L3) tires, a 24V electrical system, and a 70A alternator. Operating weight is 47,036 lbs (21,335 kg), with a static tipping weight of 21,363 lbs (9,690 kg). Fluid capacities include 84 gal (318 l) fuel, 57 gal (216 l) hydraulic, 10.5 gal (38 l) cooling, 5 gal (19 l) engine oil, 18 gal (68 l) front axle, 13 gal (49 l) rear axle, and 9 gal (34 l) transmission. The turning radius is 10.5 ft (3 m), and the rear axle oscillates 25° for improved traction on uneven terrain.
