The compact yet powerful machine is built to tackle a wide range of tasks, from agriculture to construction. 

At the heart of the JCB 514-40 is the Perkins 403J-I I engine, delivering 18.4 kW (24.7 hp) at 1400 rpm. 

This three-cylinder diesel engine ensures strong torque and fuel efficiency, making it ideal for long working days. 

The hydrostatic transmission provides smooth acceleration and effortless direction changes, with a top speed of 15 km/h—perfect for manoeuvring around job sites without sacrificing control.

With an operating weight of 2,915 kg, this telehandler is both stable and agile. 

Its maximum lift capacity of 1,400 kg (at any height) and 1,300 kg at full extension means it can handle heavy loads. 

Whether you’re lifting pallets, feed bales, or construction materials, the 514-40 delivers consistent performance.

One of the features of the JCB 514-40 is its impressive maximum lift height of 4,035 mm, allowing operators to stack and retrieve materials at considerable heights. 

The maximum forward reach of 2,510 mm ensures flexibility in placement, while the machine maintains a 525 kg capacity at full reach. 

Even when extended to 1,510 mm with a 1-tonne load, stability remains uncompromised.

The telehandler’s all-wheel steering (AWS) system provides good manoeuvrability, with a tight turning circle of 2,800 mm. 

This makes it ideal for working in confined spaces, such as barns, warehouses, or urban construction sites.

Built to withstand tough conditions, the JCB 514-40 features a robust chassis with 190 mm of ground clearance, allowing it to traverse uneven terrain without issue. 

The hydraulic disc brakes ensure reliable stopping power, while the 4×4 drivetrain delivers excellent traction in muddy or slippery conditions.

The JCB 514-40 is compatible with a range of attachments, including buckets, forks, and grapples, making it a multi-tool for any worksite. 

The standard 1,800 mm bucket width is ideal for bulk material handling, while the quick-hitch system allows for fast attachment changes, maximising productivity.
