JCB 155 SKID STEER LOADER

The small platform 703kg (1550lb) rated operating capacity JCB 155 radial lift skid steer incorporates our unique single boom and side entry design. Designed for comfort, safety, economy, productivity and durability in the USA (home of the skid steer), the 155’s potent 42kW (56hp) JCB Diesel by Kohler engine is tried, tested and proven.

The 155 has on average 60% better visibility and a 46% larger cab than rival manufacturers’ compact 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.

Operator Comfort

Keeping your operators fresh, focused and productive is paramount, which is why we’ve designed the 155 skid steer 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 155 skid steer is a comfortable favourite with operators.

Productivity

There’s no more productive compact skid steer than the JCB 155. 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 compact skid steer gets.

* – based on 50 weeks per year and 35 hours per week.

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.

Serviceability

We’ve designed The JCB 155 skid steer to be serviced easily, 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 loader.

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 this small platform compact skid steer 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.

Reason Two

60% better all-round visibility versus the average twin arm skid steer and track loader.

Reduces the chances of costly insurance claims.

Increases productivity by reducing operator hesitation and increasing confidence.

Efficiencies

JCB skid steer loader are more fuel efficient than competitive machines. With a combination of the Perkins engine, a hydraulically driven thermostatically controlled fan and the efficient hydraulic system the JCB skid steer loader provides 16% better fuel economy*.
