JCB 505-20TC Telehandler
The JCB 505-20TC is a compact tool carrier telehandler built for construction and material-handling work where space is limited. At just over 6 ft high and 6 ft wide, it can work comfortably in tighter areas while still offering a 5,500 lb maximum lift capacity, 20 ft lift height and about 12 ft of forward reach. It retains 3,900 lb of capacity at full height and 1,750 lb at full reach, giving operators useful placement capability without moving up to a much larger machine.
A 74 hp JCB Diesel by Kohler Tier 4 Final engine provides power for loading, lifting and attachment work. Front-wheel, all-wheel and crab steering help the 505-20TC maneuver around buildings, storage yards and congested jobsites, while proportional auxiliary controls support attachment operation. Its compact chassis and low-mounted boom also help maintain visibility when positioning loads or working close to structures.
