JCB’s 436 wheel loader is a machine unlike any other, tackling waste sites with ease and providing comfort to operators during a long day’s work.
Incorporating customer input at every stage of the design process, JCB’s 436 wheel loader is built with the waste industry in mind – it’s productive, efficient and easy to maintain.
Paul Fairhurst, National JCB Heavy Line Sales Manager, CEA says the 436 is all about big power, big torque, high power-to-weight ratio, powerful breakout forces and excellent traction.
“This machine has features that can be tailored to specific applications with various optional attachments and configurations, making it versatile for different job sites,” says Paul.
“Its durability and reliability are especially applicable for the waste industry. The 436 is built to withstand the harsh conditions of waste handling such as exposure to debris, moisture, and heavy loads.”
Landfill sites can be challenging to navigate due to varying heights of waste. However, the 436 is equipped with a powerful engine, high-performance hydraulics and versatile attachments.
“JCB has a reputation for building reliable machinery with robust construction and proven performance,” says Paul.
“In demanding waste environments this means minimal downtime and maximum productivity.
“The 436’s 133 kilowatts Cummins engine delivers the necessary power to handle heavy loads and efficiently move materials around a waste site. Precise control and fast cycle times optimise material handling and reduce operational costs.”
Each 436 has a full turn tipping load of 9436 kilograms, maximum engine power of 129 kilowatts, an operating weight of 14,564 kilograms and a payload of 4599 kilograms.
Load-sensing hydraulics ensure precise and efficient control, while the Smoothride suspension system reduces shock and spillage. A high-lift loader arm allows for quick and even loading into bins or trucks.
Other benefits include an optional three-spool valve block which allows the 436 to use various attachments such as grabs and sweepers, expanding its capabilities beyond material handling.
While productivity is prioritised, reliability and comfort are not compromised. Operators are spoiled for choice when it comes to controls.
Paul says JCB’s priority of comfort and ease highlights the company’s dedication to the industries in which it operates.
“The 436 features a spacious three by three-metre cab, with a choice of loader controls – multi-lever or joystick – for operator preference and an ergonomic high-back seat to reduce operator fatigue,” he says. “A sloped rear bonnet and large windows provide all-round visibility, enhancing operator safety and efficiency.”
Paul says improved serviceability, versatility and reliability are just some of the benefits of the 436. It has been designed to provide easy access to key components for maintenance, including ground-level greasing points and wide-opening gullwing doors.
Long extended service – 500-hour service intervals – minimise downtime and maintenance costs.
Paul says the JCB design team invested time and resources into developing the 436 into a machine that stands out in its class.
“JCB emphasises durability, using a cast steel rear end and full chassis belly guarding to protect against damage and extend the machine’s lifespan.
“The 436 also incorporates various safety features, such as rollover protection structures (ROPS) and falling object protective structures (FOPS), to protect operators from potential hazards.”
