JCB, a manufacturer of construction and agricultural machinery, launches the 109 horsepower 4TS Teleskid and 400T compact track loader (CTL). As the largest models in JCB’s compact track loader lineup, these machines are a step up from the popular 3TS, delivering more horsepower and higher torque for operators tackling tougher jobs. Engineered for power, precision, versatility and safety, the 4TS and 400T aim to redefine what compact track loaders can achieve, according to the company.
“These machines reflect our commitment to equipping operators with the tools they need to work smarter, not harder,” said Lee Tice, product manager, JCB. “The 4TS and 400T were developed with extensive customer feedback, incorporating updates that deliver more power, greater reach and improved productivity. Whether you’re managing construction projects, tackling forestry challenges or handling versatile applications, these machines are built to exceed expectations.”
4TS Teleskid features
The 4TS aims to raise the bar even higher than the previous 3TS — nearly two full feet higher. Featuring a 15-foot lift height and nearly 4,000 pounds rated operating capacity, the 4TS eliminates the need for a separate telehandler in many situations, providing a single machine that handles everything from grading and trenching to material handling and loading. As a true start-to-finish tool, the 4TS empowers contractors to consolidate equipment fleets and increase jobsite efficiency, according to JCB.
The 4TS is built to tackle demanding tasks on large construction sites, delivering increased versatility and performance. Its compact profile — 13,000 pounds SAE operating weight and 6 feet 10 inches in overall height — enables it to navigate tight spaces with ease while excelling in heavy-duty applications. With a 15-foot hinge pin height, the 4TS is suited for stacking, loading and accessing hard-to-reach areas.
Addressing feedback from 3TS owners, the 4TS is designed to run high-flow attachments even when the boom is fully extended, overcoming a key challenge and expanding its capabilities for complex jobsite operations.
The 4TS features a newly designed low-leak valve body that prevents boom drift, ensuring materials stay exactly where you need them, even when the boom is fully extended.
“The 4TS Teleskid bridges the gap between compact and capability,” said Tice. “It’s the ultimate all-in-one machine for contractors who need to get more done with less equipment.”
400T CTL features
For operators facing demanding applications like forestry, snow removal and land clearing, the 400T aims to deliver power and durability.
With an operating weight of 12,544 pounds, the 400T is built to handle heavy-duty tasks with increased power while maintaining the agility expected from a compact loader. Its redesigned chassis and expanded cooling pack eliminate the need for auxiliary coolers, ensuring optimal performance during extended high-flow operations. Delivering more than 40 gallons per minute of hydraulic flow at 4,000 psi, the 400T powers demanding attachments like drum mulchers with ease, making it a reliable workhorse for tough applications, according to the company.
“When you need equipment that works as hard as you do, the 400T is the answer,” said Tice. “With its increased engine and hydraulic performance, it’s a true workhorse built for operators tackling the most challenging applications.”
Developed at JCB’s North American headquarters in Savannah, Ga., the 4TS and 400T reflect years of customer feedback and industry expertise. Both models are now available at JCB dealerships across North America.
