426

There are many reasons to choose the JCB 426 wheel loader. It is productive, efficient, easy to maintain, and extremely durable.

Its 5.9-liter, 6-cylinder Cummins engine complies with Stage 2 and produces 112 kW and 633 Nm. The 426 wheel loader comes with a choice of Z-bar or HT loader arms.

Power and productivity

The 112 kW Cummins engine of the JCB 426HT wheel loader is coupled to a fully automatic 4-speed powershift transmission and axles for seamless gear changes and smooth operation.

• The HT loader geometry makes the 426 perfect for parallel lift and use with multiple attachments.
• The unloaded spool valves lower the 426HT loader arms using gravitational force, not hydraulic force.
• Meanwhile, wheel speed braking means the brakes rotate at wheel speed to reduce heat and drag, as well as improve fuel economy.

Comfort and ease of use

Visibility is excellent all around in this wheel loader, with a three-piece laminated front screen, heated exterior mirrors, and a sloped rear hood design.

• Operators can choose the loader controls they prefer: multi-lever, joystick, proportional auxiliaries. Return-to-dig, boom height limiting, and float functions are always at hand.
• Like other wheel loaders in our range, the 426 uses an innovative load-sensing hydraulic system for precise and efficient control.
• Our Smoothride suspension system reduces shock loads and spillage on these front loaders.

Serviceability

The 426 wheel loaders have class-leading service and maintenance access, and long 500-hour service intervals.

• Greasing is convenient from ground level, and the wide-opening gullwing doors provide easy access to this wheel loader's engine compartment and cooling package areas.
• The 426HT wheel loader has a variable-speed hydraulic cooling fan that automatically reacts to ambient temperature and adjusts fan speed for maximum economy.
• JCB's electronic management system controls tractive effort through the wheel loader transmission to reduce service brake wear and fuel consumption.

Build quality

Because our wheel loaders are used in every corner of the world, we test the 426HT to ensure optimum operation in climates ranging from -20 ° C to 50 ° C.

• ROPS/FOPS protection is integrated into the 426 front loader to protect operators from hazards on site.
• For maximum reliability, we build our wheel loaders using only the best components, including a Cummins engine, a ZF transmission, a Bosch Rexroth main hydraulic pump, and a Parker main control valve.
• We use computer-aided finite element analysis to make these wheel loaders last longer, as well as simulated platform tests to ensure the durability and reliability of the main structures.
