OPERATOR COMFORT
Keeping your operators fresh, focused and productive is paramount, which is why we've designed the 135 HD skid steer loader with a 46% larger cab than the nearest competitive machine. Our standard seat has mechanical suspension and there's also a 12V charger, simplified easily readable control panels and a mechanical cable operated hand throttle.
The hydraulic servo controls are handling smooth and intuitive; all in all, the JCB 135 HD skid steer loader is a comfortable favourite with operators.
SAFETY
The JCB 135 HD skid steer loader is designed with safety to the fore. Our unique PowerBoom single loader arm design means operators can enter the machine from the side, avoiding slip hazards, crush hazards and contact with the loader arm and its attachments. It's also got 60% better visibility than the average skid loader, partly due to a low profile single rear loader tower and the absence of a conventional large rear torque tube.
The Canopy front opening doubles as an emergency exit and a standard rear view mirror. Then there's the fuel tank, integrated into the skid steer's chassis for added protection; and the hoses, safely run through the PowerBoom to reduce the possibility of damage. Safety in numbers The USA's NIOSH (National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health) has rewritten their safety guidance after recognising the many benefits of JCB's PowerBoom side entry design. 270 degree all-round visibility. JCB PowerBoom has up to 20% more steel in one boom than the twin arms of conventional designs. Our skid steer's emergency exit is over twice the size of that found in a conventional design.
SERVICEABILITY
We've designed The JCB 135 HD skid steer loader to be serviced easily, ensuring minimum downtime. Firstly, we mount our engines longitudinally for easy access to the drive belt and associated components. There are also 30% fewer grease points than the average vertical lift twin arm skid loader.
