JCB releases its most compact Teleskid to date

JCB has added the 2TS-7T Teleskid compact track loader to its range of track-loaders, incorporating the benefits of the existing 3TS-8T and 3TS-8W Teleskid models in a more compact and easily transportable platform. Built for optimal maneuverability and easy transportation between job sites without need for a commercial driver's license, the compact track loaders come equipped with telescopic booms to lift higher, reach farther and dig deeper than competing machines.

The 2TS-7T is powered by a 74 hp (55 kW) JCB by Kohler engine which, like the larger 3TS-8T and 3TS-8W models, meets Tier 4 Final emissions standards with no need for diesel exhaust fluid and no diesel particulate filter or other exhaust aftertreatment. The 2TS-7T has a rated operating capacity of 2,096 lb (951 kg) with the boom retracted and 1,140 lb (517 kg) with the boom fully extended, and offers 20 percent more breakout force than similarly sized machines. It has a maximum lift height of 11 feet 10 inches (3.6 m), forward reach of 7 feet (2.1 m) and the ability to dig 2 feet (1 m) below grade.
