520-50 - Telescopic Handlers This versatile 4 wheel steer machine has a rigid chassis for great stability and can tow up to 5 tonnes with the appropriate tow hitch. So for industrial applications needing the forward reach and load handling capability of a telescopic handler but with limited access or a tight space to work in, the 520-50 has everything you need.   The comfortable cab is very easy to work in thanks to the ergonomically positioned instrumentation and controls that help to minimise fatigue. A narrow machine width of just 1.8 metres and an overall height of 2.1 metres make this machine perfectly suited to high productivity in confined areas or industruial sites with limited access. A low cab option allows access to a greater range of buildings. What’s more, the different tyre options provide more flexibility in determining the machine height. A centrally-mounted cab provides the operator with panoramic visibility. The low boom design means that there is nothing obscuring the view to the rear of the machine. Permanent 4 wheel steer, together with the compact machine size, means an exceptionally tight turning circle with a radius of just 3 metres over the tyres for great manoeuvrability and handling in small yards. Perfect wheel tracking minimises site damage and prolongs tyre life. 4 equal sized wheels enhance tractive effort to give excellent loader performance. In addition, flotation over soft ground conditions and ground clearance are first class. Permanent 4 wheel drive improves traction while also up-grading loader ability and rough terrain mobility. Pannier fuel and hydraulic tanks are very accessible for easy refuelling in any location. The mechanical quickhitch is standard while a hydraulic option is available. A wide general purpose shovel can also be specified. Specially designed for the 520-50, it gives increased roll back for improved material retention. A full power braking system ensures maximum safety and machine stability. Direct acting brakes on each wheel are activated through JCB axles for maximum control. The multi-disc brakes are immersed in oil for a long, maintenance free, working life. Parking brake is easily activated by a single push button. It is oil immersed for long-life protection against wear while also giving added security when parking on gradients.
