406

JCB’s articulated steering boasts an easy-to-use built-in sideshift – ideal for pallet handling.

The JCB 406 is a highly versatile loading shovel, capable of many tasks, with plenty of options to create a perfect solution to your needs, as well as a huge range of easily interchangeable attachments.

By splitting power between the transmission and the hydraulics, our inching pedal allows precise, efficient, stepless load handling.

We’ve used only the very finest engine, driveline and axle components on the 406 wheel loader, from suppliers like DANA and Bosch.

This loading shovel benefits from a strong chassis and the best possible weight distribution; this allows for optimal absorption of external forces.

We understand how tough materials handling can be, so we use a heavy-duty centre joint which oscillates through ±40°. Precision machining provides high tolerances and accurate location of pins and bushes on these loading shovels.

Rear lights are recessed within the solid counterweight casting for impact protection and hydraulic hoses are neatly routed, properly clamped, and positioned away from potential pinching spots.

We use state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, finite element analysis and extensive rig testing to achieve the very highest levels of quality. Cold cell testing guarantees starting performance at temperatures as low as -20°C.

The JCB 406 wheel loader can be equipped with a new immobiliser option, which can help prevent thefts from your fleet.

Access steps are complemented by well positioned handles so that operators have three points of contact whenever they’re entering or exiting the JCB 406’s cab.

With no exhaust after treatment, our JCB Diesel by Kohler engines are extremely compact for uncompromised visibility. The sloping rear bonnet provides an unimpeded view, with the exhaust silencer and air intake filter both packaged out of sight.

We’ve fitted an in-cab electronic 2-stage quickhitch isolation system to prevent uncontrolled release of attachments on the 406 loading shovel.

From harsh waste environments to the farm and field, the potential industries and applications for JCB 406 wheel loaders are endless.

To give you an idea, JCB 406 compact loaders’ lift height allows them to load into road trucks, but it’s still compact enough to fit into tight barns and under small bridges. There’s further versatility on offer with a large range of attachments and, thanks to our hydraulic quickhitch, the operator doesn’t even have to leave the cab for attachment changes

The cab volume of a JCB 406 compact wheel loader is excellent, and its low mounting reduces overall machine height.

Overall machine controllability is first class too. Our pivot steer design makes JCB 406 wheel loaders simple to manoeuvre, while allowing easy and accurate placing of the load. Dual-speed hydrostatic transmission provides accurate matching of speed to application and the ability to inch using the brake pedal.

Responsive, accurate hydraulic controls give fast cycle times and are simple and intuitive even for inexperienced operators.

The JCB 406 has a traditional cylinder-type air filter that’s perfectly sized for its engine, ensuring robust and cost-effective performance.

A large single piece bonnet provides quick and convenient access to all daily check points, as well as the engine bay and cooling pack of your wheel loader.

Your local JCB dealer will be able to supply all parts for your 406 loading shovel, including JCB Diesel by Kohler engine components. This model also shares parts with other JCB machinery, making everything even more readily available.
