Three Ways the JCB Teleskid Helps You Get More Done

The right equipment can make all the difference on a job site. Whether you’re lifting, digging, or moving materials, having a machine that adapts to different tasks improves efficiency and reduces downtime. Traditional compact loaders get the job done, but their fixed lift height, limited reach, and front-entry design create unnecessary challenges.

The JCB Teleskid changes that. As the only compact track loader with a telescopic boom, it offers greater reach, deeper digging capability, and easier cab access—allowing operators to take on more work with less effort. Here’s how it stands out.

1. Reach Higher Without Ramps

Most compact loaders have a fixed lift height, forcing operators to build dirt ramps or bring in additional equipment to load high-sided trucks or stack materials. The JCB Teleskid eliminates the need for extra site prep with a telescopic boom that extends up to 13 feet 3 inches. This allows operators to load full-size dump trucks, stockpile materials, and move pallets without repositioning—saving time and reducing wear on the machine.

2. Dig Below Grade Without Extra Equipment

Traditional compact loaders are limited to surface-level work, meaning operators need a backhoe or excavator for tasks like trenching, grading, or clearing ditches. The JCB Teleskid is the only compact track loader that can dig up to 3 feet 5 inches below grade, giving it the flexibility to handle drainage work, backfilling, and material placement in low-lying areas. With this capability, operators can take on more tasks without switching machines.

3. Improve Safety with Side-Door Entry

Climbing over a bucket or attachment to enter a front-entry skid steer isn’t just inconvenient—it’s a safety risk. The JCB Teleskid features a side-entry door, allowing operators to enter and exit the cab without stepping over hazardous obstacles. This design improves accessibility, reduces slip-and-fall risks, and ensures a clear exit in an emergency, unlike traditional machines that can trap operators if the front is blocked.

Why It Matters

Equipment that lifts higher, digs deeper, and provides safer access helps operators work more efficiently and complete more tasks with fewer limitations. The JCB Teleskid is designed to do just that—allowing crews to move materials faster, take on a wider range of jobs, and operate with greater confidence.
