The JCB CEA 457 Wheel Loader gives users style, visibility, power, speed, strength, efficiency, and quality.
Wheel loaders are unique products in that they are flexible. Customers can work with their providers to find the right combination for the projects in mind.
JCB CEA focuses on this customisation, as it believes in developing new technology with customer input at every stage of the design process. Its range of wheel loaders is created with end-users in mind.
The 457 Wheel Loader features an innovative design to provide easier ground-level service access, but it’s not the only unique aspect of the JCB CEA 457.
The 5-speed transmission with optional torque lock-up Intelligent Clutch Cut Off (ICCO), coupled with JCB’s unique CommandPlus cab, is among the best on the market. It provides the best possible control layout and driving position for all operators. The 457 also offers greater operator comfort, visibility, and ease of use for productivity.
Ease of maintenance
JCB’s focus on minimising downtime means the JCB 457 includes a one-piece bonnet, and easy ground-level access to critical components ensures trouble-free access to the engine, fuel, and DEF tanks (via rear lockable grille).
The 457 also features premium components to support a long service life. The full hydraulic dual-circuit braking is virtually maintenance-free so operators get the most out of their machines. The 457 has been designed with operator safety at the forefront including visibility inside and out, non-slip surfaces and air filtration.
Interior and exterior mirrors provide views to every corner of the machine. It also has well-designed access steps and grab handles that provide three points of contact for entering and exiting. The rear camera and LED lighting provide extra protection, meaning operators have peace of mind when operating a JCB 457.
Development optimisation
The 457 underwent lengthy testing at JCB’s United Kingdom facilities during the design and build process.
Understanding the rigorous work this machine would undertake meant the team had to ensure it was not only fit for purpose but durable enough to handle its tough working conditions day in, day out.
The JCB 457 is powered by a Stage V Cummins engine offering plenty of low-end torque. It provides an optional torque lock-up 5-speed transmission.
It has two new power modes to increase or reduce power at the flick of a switch and features a new auto engine shutdown that works to save on fuel when left idling.
As one of the best cabs on the market, the JCB CommandPlus cab offers optimal control thanks to its layout and driver positioning.
The cab features a large interior with a panoramic front windscreen and seat-mounted controls that move with the seat suspension. The JCB 457 expands on that operational control through quality end-damped steering for easier turning lock to lock.
