Advantages

• Diesel power for dependable torque and productivity: Diesel engines deliver the low-end torque telehandlers need for confident lifting and steady travel with a load. That translates to reliable performance when you are moving pallets of block, lumber, or bundled materials across uneven ground or up ramps. For owners, diesel efficiency supports long run times between refueling and strong overall productivity.
• Heated cab to extend work seasons and enhance comfort: A heated cab is a practical advantage on cold mornings, during winter projects, or in drafty structures. Warmth helps keep the operator alert and more comfortable on long shifts, supporting safer, more consistent operation and better productivity when temperatures drop.
• 5,500 lb capacity for everyday material handling: A 5,500-pound rating covers a wide range of common loads, from pallets of brick, stone, and pavers to framing packages, roofing bundles, and jobsite supplies. That capacity range is especially useful for general contractors, masons, framers, and site crews who need one machine that can reliably lift and position typical daily materials.
• 20 ft lift height to reach decks, truck beds, and staging areas: A 20-foot maximum lift height is ideal for lifting to the second story of many builds, loading and unloading trucks, and staging materials onto elevated platforms or mezzanines. It offers the reach you need for most daily tasks without the size and footprint of larger machines.
• Compact telehandler footprint for tight sites: The compact configuration helps you maneuver through congested yards, narrow lots, and inside structures with limited access. That smaller footprint also simplifies positioning the machine close to the work, saving time on each pick and place compared to shuttling materials with larger equipment that cannot get as close.
• Proven JCB 505-20TC platform: The 505-20TC is a well-regarded compact telehandler model in JCB’s lineup, appreciated for balanced performance, straightforward operation, and practical serviceability—qualities that support uptime and predictable ownership.

Applications

• General construction and contracting: Move and place pallets of block, brick, masonry supplies, framing lumber, sheet goods, roofing materials, and jobsite consumables with the reach and capacity that daily tasks demand.
• Residential and light commercial building: Navigate tight sites, driveways, and in-progress structures where space is at a premium while still staging materials to elevated decks or mezzanines.
• Masonry and hardscape work: Handle dense, palletized materials like stone, pavers, and mortar supplies with the stability and capacity required for efficient cycle times.
• Framing and roofing crews: Lift bundles to working height to reduce manual handling and speed installation on small to mid-sized projects.
• Warehousing and yards: Load and unload trucks, organize outdoor inventories, and shuttle pallets where a conventional forklift may struggle with terrain or grade changes.
• Industrial facilities and plants: Support maintenance and material moves in areas with limited clearance, using the compact telehandler footprint to work productively without disrupting operations.
• Property management and maintenance: Stage supplies, handle bulk materials, and support repairs across campus-style properties, resorts, and institutional facilities.
• Rental fleets: Add a high-demand compact telehandler to your lineup; the capacity and reach suit a broad range of renters, increasing utilization and ROI.

Ownership Value
