JCB recently launched the 66-40E Electric Teletruk in the U.S. The 66-40E features telescopic forward reach of over 7 feet, enabling it to reach across a standard flatbed for side loading and 6,600-pound maximum lift capacity with no noise and zero emissions. The forklift can be operated both indoors and outdoors and is equipped with JCB’s Load Motion Control, which alerts the operator through a warning light system and stops lift hydraulics when maximum lift capacity has been reached to prevent forward tip. The 66-40E has a 2-minute battery charge and can work a full 8-hour shift on a single charge.

“A Long-Awaited Addition”

“The introduction of an electric Teletruk is a long-awaited addition to our JCB Teletruk family,” says JCB Teletruks Product Manager Rebecca Yates. “The 66-40E Teletruk expands the range from diesel and LPG powered Teletruks to a machine that runs on electric power and can work safely inside environmentally restrictive areas, low-emissions zones, and food storage operations. This machine is also extremely efficient, powered by an 80-volt lead acid battery, using a stand-alone charger that can provide 8 hours of standard run time.”
