457 HT/ZX Wheel Loader

Overview

Featuring a powerful new MTU diesel engine that meets Tier 4 / Stage IV emissions without the need for a costly and in-efficient DPF.

New JCB CommandPlus cab provides the ultimate in operator comfort and productivity. Unrivalled visibility, command driving position and seat mounted controls keep you in total command.

SERVICE

It's easy to get to the engine on a new JCB 457 wheel loader with a large automatic opening single-piece bonnet. Accessing the diesel and DEF tanks is similarly straightforward via the lockable grille at the rear of the machine.

This wheel loader's braking system has a virtually maintenance-free lifespan courtesy of full dual circuit hydraulics with multiple oil-immersed discs.

SPEED

The MTU 6R1000 7.7-litre engine fitted to the new JCB 457 wheel loader produces 193kW (258hp) of power and 1150Nm of torque (6% more than our outgoing model). What's more, it produces all of this at low revs for incredibly responsive operation.

There's no need to worry about wasting time and money replacing a diesel particulate filter (DPF) on your wheel loader; its MTU engine requires only exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) and system selective catalytic reduction (DOC). This also improves fuel economy.

Powerful twin variable displacement piston pump hydraulics can circulate a massive 323 l/min for fast cycle times and excellent multifunctioning capability. With maximum breakout forces of 172kN, this wheel loader has the power to carry out extremely arduous loading jobs.

Specify your perfect loader arm: Z-bar linkage (ZX) for high breakout applications or high torque (HT) for parallel lifting and multi attachment work. High lift and super high lift options equip your 457 for applications involving high loading heights.

STRENGTH

All JCB wheel loaders including the new 457 wheel loader benefit from finite element analysis and rig testing of up to 1 million cycles to ensure superior strength and durability. Cold cell testing guarantees starting performance down to -20°C.

High tolerances and accurate location of pins and bushes are assured with JCB's precision machining techniques. State-of-the-art manufacturing processes like robot machining, precision paint technology and innovative assembly techniques help to achieve the very highest levels of build quality.

COMMANDPLUS

You'll immediately notice the redesigned ROPS structure on the new JCB 457 wheel loader; this has allowed the A pillars to be moved to the same width as the rear of the cab, providing a larger interior with a panoramic front windscreen.

Controlling the loader is now easier than ever “ all of the controls are seat-mounted, even going as far as to move with the seat suspension. All switches and auxiliary controls are now located on the right-hand A-pillar for easier access.

There are two full colour LCD screens to navigate your 457 wheel loader's operating menus, with one doubling as a monitor for the rear view camera. Using this simple, dedicated menu interface is easily done with an intuitive optional rotary controller.

Select the control system that's best for your wheel loader operators; we offer single lever joystick or multi-lever configurations, both fully electro-hydraulic. The noise level in the cab is now an incredibly low 68 dB(a).

An all-new air venting system boasts nine demisting vents and six operator vents to maintain visibility and operator comfort at all times. It also operates at a reduced noise level.

After extensive research into operator ergonomics, we've devised the Command Driving Position specifically for the 457 wheeled loading shovel, which boasts the very optimal control layout for a multitude of different driver shapes and sizes.
