1. JCB 531-70 vs MLT X735

2. Machines Compared

• JCB 531-70
- 7m Lift Height
- 3100kg Lift Capacity
- 74kW/100hp JCB Engine standard
• MLT X735
- 7m Lift Height
- 3500kg Lift Capacity
- 74kW/100hp Perkins Engine

4. Lift Chart / LMI

• Higher capacity at reach
• Separate, A pillar mounted LMI
3.6m
• Inferior capacity at reach
• LMI is small and hard to read
2.6m

5. Boom – Crowd / Dump cylinder

• Internal - protected
• Underneath – exposed
• Exposed HBCV’s

6. Boom – Crowd / Dump cylinder

• Internal - protected
• Underneath – exposed
• Exposed HBCV’s

7. Boom – QFIT carriage

• Strong, wide construction that adds
rigidity to attachments
• Over centre locking mechanism –
easily converted to hydraulic
• Narrow construction
• Hooks wear quickly
• Manual locking bar – complete
headstock replacement to convert to
hydraulic

8. Boom – Cylinders

• Centrally mounted lift cylinder
• Centrally mounted compensation
cylinder
• NO TORSION EFFECT
• Offset lift cylinder causes torsion
when lifting
• Offset compensation cylinder adds to
this effect

9. Productivity

• Average time 18 min 35
• Total fuel 1.4L
• Average time 22 min
• Total fuel 2.8L

10. Boom – Lubrication

• Dry wax lubricant – every 500 hours
• Less chance of debris getting drawn
into the inner boom sections
• Wet grease lubrication every 50
hours
• Material can stick / combine to
create an abrasive paste and
accelerate wear
• Debris build up forced into rear of the
boom

11. Boom - Construction

• U shaped pressing and closing plate
• More robust
• Two piece welded boom construction

12. Boom - Construction

• Welds do not form a clear divide
between sections
• Multiple welds increase chance of
fracture

13. Drivetrain - Axles

• Centrally mounted axles
• Robust structure
• JCB – integrated driveline
• Offset axles
• Smaller construction
• Spicer – 3rd party

14. Drivetrain – Steering joints

• JCB Manufactured axle steering
• Manitou Dana Spicer axle steering
system pivoted at the hub with pivot
system pivoted at the hub with ball
pin
joint
• Easy to remove
• Low maintenance and long life
• Not simple to change with specialist
tooling required
• Low life high maintenance

15. Drivetrain - Engine

• JCB – fully integrated driveline
• Mounted to the chassis – the pod is
just a surround so this adds some
protection if impacted
• Perkins
• Mounted to the pod – if an impact is
experienced it could push the engine
out of line with transmission

16. Drivetrain - Engine

• Fold out, easy to clean radiator
• Provides optimal airflow
• Transversely mounted cooling pack
• Air flow is not optimal – air expelled
onto the cab / under the machine

17. Drivetrain - Engine

• Easy battery access
• No debris build up
• Debris build up on top of battery

18. Drivetrain - Engine

• Fan utilised for dust extraction from
the air filter
• Pre filter dust bowl
• Extra maintenance
• Reduces visibility

19. Drivetrain - Engine

• True hydraulically driven reverse fan
• Operated on-demand
• Fan reverses by variable vanes
operated by a small compressor
• There are rotary connections and
more moving parts that can wear
• No manual on-demand operation
available

20. Structures - Fenders

• Fenders cover full width of the wheel
• Narrow fenders

21. Structure – Rear lights

• Adjustable rear lights as standard
• Fixed rear lights
• Reduced damage potential
• Exposed to damage permanently
• Increased protection to lighting unit
• No protection to lighting unit
through ‘U’ shaped cover
increasing cost of ownership

22. Structure – rear hitch mirror

• Single, compact and robust support
• Brackets fixed to thin sheet metal

23. Service – Fill points

• Ground level fill
• Head height fill is more difficult

24. Service

• Grouped daily checks
• Transmission dipstick under the
boom, required to remove cover

25. Service

• Transmission filter ?? hours
• Easy grouped service access
• Transmission filter ?? hours
• Panel removal for access
• Replacement seal on cap 1000 hours

26. Service

• Hinged rear access cover
• Simple operation to access
• Dedicated ‘T’ bar locking system to
increase machine protection
• Fixed rear access plate restricting
access
• 4 bolts require removing to access
• Universal fixtures increase the
possibility of external access to the
machine

27. Service

• Hydraulic tank in the rear
• Fill point at ground level
• Hydraulic tank under cab radiates
heat onto the operator
• Fill point at height with restricted
access

28. Service

• Livelink fuel level warning as
standard
• 3rd party level gauge
• No livelink fuel guard

29. Service

• Handbrake lever mechanism covered
• Exposed handbrake mechanism

30. Cab

• Ergonomic single lever control
• JSM not ergonomic position for
operator

31. Cab

• Powershift transmission as standard
• EH steering mode selection standard
• Mechanical gear selection
• Manual steering mode selection –
lever very close to the side window

32. Cab

• Ergonomic instrument layout
• Digital gauges compatible with
Livelink
• High instrument panel
• Analogue gauges

33. Cab

• External brake reservoir
• Extern wash bottle fluid
• In cab brake reservoir
• In cab wash bottle fluid

34. Cab - Visibility

• Unrivalled visibility
• Exhaust and air pre filter reduce
visibility

35. Other

• Signs of wear due to contact between
hoses and bonnet

36. Other

• Central tow hitch
• Offset towing hitch offset to centre of
machine by 7cm
+7cm

37. Other

• Work lights spread across full cab –
better coverage
• Roof mounted work lights are on one
side

38. JCB – Superior by design

• JCB’s proven 10 year design life
• In house manufacture of major components for quality assurance ‘the
only truly vertical integrated telescopic handler’ and a ‘one stop shop
for parts and service’
• Structural integrity and durability built in
• Higher Residual Values
• Minimal daily checks
• Simple control layout for safe and productive operation
• Increased visibility for high productivity and increased safety
