Advantages

• Diesel power for real-world productivity: Diesel provides the torque curve telehandlers need for steady travel and confident load handling. The fuel efficiency and durability of diesel help control operating costs while delivering dependable performance day after day.
• Heated cab for all-season comfort: The heated cab helps the operator stay comfortable and focused in colder climates and on winter jobs. Warm, clear windows mean better visibility and safer, more precise placement at height.
• 12,000# capacity for heavier materials: A 12,000-pound rated capacity gives crews room to lift and place dense pallets, structural members, bundled materials, and jobsite necessities without splitting loads or making multiple trips. Fewer lifts can translate to faster schedules and cleaner logistics.
• 56' lift height for multi-story reach: With 56 feet of lift, the JCB 512-56 can service mid-rise projects, place materials onto roofs and decks, and feed crews on scaffolding and mezzanines. That vertical reach expands what can be accomplished without renting additional equipment.
• JCB build quality and brand reputation: JCB is known worldwide for rugged construction equipment built for tough jobsites. The 512-56 integrates proven engineering and operator-focused design to support uptime and straightforward daily operation.
• Balanced capability-to-price ratio: As a used 2018 unit, this telehandler delivers modern performance at a value-focused price point. Buyers gain the lifting envelope and operator comforts they need while keeping capital expenses in check.

Applications

The JCB 512-56 telehandler is a versatile material handling solution across a wide range of industries and project types. Its 12,000# capacity and 56' lift height allow it to take on tasks that would otherwise require multiple machines or more complex logistics.

• Commercial building construction: Lift and place pallets of block, brick, and roofing materials; feed framing crews at height; position drywall and sheathing on upper floors.
• Industrial facilities and plants: Support maintenance teams with equipment placement, move heavy spares and consumables, and service mezzanines and elevated platforms.
• Steel erection and structural work: Handle heavy sections and deliver components where cranes aren’t practical or when staging areas are tight.
• Site logistics and material handling: Shuttle bulk materials from delivery points to work zones, reduce manual handling, and keep crews productive throughout the day.
• Infrastructure and utilities: Support road and bridge contractors with material staging, lifting forms and supplies, and servicing elevated work areas.
