Meet the 555-210R Hydraload:
JCB’s rst-ever rotating
telescopic handler, a far-reaching and
formidable multi-purpose newcomer
performing as a telehandler, crane or
mobile access platform with equal
strength and dexterity.
Drawing on over 40 years of
market-leading telehandler
innovation, JCB has spent three
years extending its muscular Loadall
template to produce the Hydraload.
Powered by a JCB EcoMAX 108kW
Stage IV diesel engine, it o ers a
towering 21m li height with
5,500kg maximum li capacity and
class-leading capacities of 2,500kg at
full height and 850kg at full reach.
Its European release marks JCB’s
rst venture in rotating telehandlers,
rmly established as a must-have
machine on continental sites. JCB
believes the Hydraload, which sets new
standards for automated precision, can
outperform competitive rotos in
French, German and Italian markets,
while responding to recent housebuilding
trends in JCB’s native UK.

slow to change, but it is now
