JCB invented the telehandler and the Loadall leads the market. Boom wear pads, cylinder drift, and the load-chart system are the inspection.
The JCB Loadall is the benchmark telehandler, and the inspection centers on the boom: the wear pads that control slop, the cylinders that must hold a load, and the stability system that keeps it safe at reach.
Worn boom wear pads let the sections rattle and sag.
CHECK Extend the boom and check for side-to-side play; inspect the wear pads.
Worn cylinders drift and leak, dropping the load.
CHECK Hold a load extended and watch for drift; inspect cylinders for leaks.
Forks thin at the heel and hooks wear.
CHECK Use a fork caliper on the heel and inspect carriage and hooks.
The stability system must work for safe lifting at reach.
CHECK Verify the LMI functions and the load chart is present and legible.
Driveline and foam-filled tires wear with use.
CHECK Road test the transmission and inspect tires and axles.
