JCB 135 SKID STEER LOADER

The small platform 612kg (1350lb) rated operating capacity JCB 135 radial lift skid steer is the smallest model in our revolutionary range. Our unique single boom and side entry design makes this skid steer loader comfortable, safe, economical, productive and tough. Designed and built in the USA (home of the skid steer), the 135’s 36kW (48hp) JCB Diesel by Kohler engine delivers impressive performance and low operating costs.

The 135 has on average 60% better visibility and a 46% larger cab than rival manufacturers’ mini skid steer designs, and there are a whole host of other benefits too. Like ergonomic controls, an extremely tough powerful boom and a low cost of ownership.

Keeping your operators fresh, focused and productive is paramount, which is why we’ve designed the 135 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, easily readable control panels and an electronic hand throttle.

Electric controls make handling smooth and intuitive; all in all, we like to think the JCB 135 skid steer loader is a comfortable favourite with operators.

There’s no more productive skid steer than the JCB 135. The figures speak for themselves: it has a 16% lower cost of ownership than the top competitor, a better SAE service rating, an annual fuel savings of over 2450 litres* and a heavy-duty crowd ram that’s nearly 3 times the size of the nearest major competition.

There’s a standard mechanical quickhitch and auxiliary couplers on the PowerBoom too. In short, it’s as productive as a skid steer loader gets.

Fast entry and exit speeds

• Side entry makes a JCB skid steer 17% quicker in applications requiring multiple entries and exits, such as some agricultural tasks.

We’ve designed this skid steer to be easily serviced, 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 steer.

We’ve installed front and rear chassis clean out plates, with a fluid drain point in the rear one, as well as durable O-ring face seals on all hydraulic fittings. There’s excellent service access through the rear service door and gas strut-assisted tilting cooling pack.

So it’s no wonder the JCB 135 small platform skid steer loader is on average 21% more serviceable than competitors’ machines, based on SAE Service Audit Scores.  And there’s more too.

Even more serviceability

• Easy-to-service hydraulically-driven variable speed fan.
• Cab can be easily tilted by one person for hose access.
• Daily check points are grouped and easily accessible.
• Chassis has an integrated fuel tank and drain point.

JCB skid steer loader are more fuel efficient than competitive machines.
