JCB Telehandlers: Models, Specs and Prices
Last updated: November 2026
JCB calls its telehandlers Loadalls, and in North America they are known for their high boom design and side-mounted engines. FleetNow had about 180 JCB telehandlers listed in November 2026, led by the 510-56, 507-42, 509-42 and 512-56.
This guide explains how JCB model numbers work, compares specs across the North American lineup, shows what used JCB telehandlers sell for, compares them with Genie, JLG and SkyTrak and lists what to check before you buy.
How JCB Model Numbers Work
JCB model numbers tell you capacity and height. In a 510-56, the “10” stands for a 10,000 lb maximum lift capacity and the “56” for a 56 ft maximum lift height. A 507-42 lifts up to 7,000 lb to 42 ft. Models ending in “TC” are compact telehandlers, and “E” marks an electric model such as the 505-20E.
JCB Telehandler Specs
These are JCB’s current North American published specs for its construction telehandlers. Maximum capacity is available only close in and low; capacity at full height and full reach is much lower, so always check the load chart.

|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 505-20E | Compact, electric | 20 ft | 5,250 lb | 29.5 hp electric | 9 mph |

| 508-66TC | Long reach | 65 ft 7 in | 8,500 lb | 74 hp | 18 mph |
Specs are from JCB’s US product pages and can differ on older units, which may have different engines and ratings. JCB also sells agricultural Loadalls (such as the 525-60 and 542-70), which are not covered here.
Popular JCB Telehandler Models
JCB 510-56
The JCB 510-56 is the most listed JCB telehandler on FleetNow, with about 62 units. It lifts 10,000 lb and reaches 56 ft, and it was the first model in JCB’s range to use wide-set stabilizers. JCB pitches it for masonry, framing and rental fleets.
JCB 507-42
The JCB 507-42 is JCB’s mid-size workhorse: 7,000 lb, 42 ft and a 74 hp engine. It is a good fit for residential and light commercial building, and used units are some of the lowest-priced JCB telehandlers on FleetNow.
JCB 509-42 and 510-42
The JCB 509-42 raises capacity to 9,000 lb at the same 42 ft height and moves up to the 109 hp engine. The newer 510-42 lifts 10,000 lb to 42 ft.
JCB 512-56 and 514-56
The JCB 512-56 and 514-56 are JCB’s heavy lifters, with 12,000 and 14,000 lb capacities at a 56 ft lift height. They suit steel, precast and commercial jobs where loads are heavy.
Compact and Long-Reach Models
The JCB 506-36 (6,000 lb, 36 ft), the 505-20TC and electric 505-20E compacts and the 508-66TC (65 ft 7 in) round out the lineup. They show up on FleetNow in small numbers.
Used JCB Telehandler Prices
These are asking prices from the JCB telehandler listings on FleetNow in November 2026. Because nearly new 2024 to 2026 units sell for two to three times the price of older ones, the table separates them out.
| Model | Listings | 2023 and older: middle half | 2023 and older: median | 2024 to 2026 units |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 510-56 | About 62 | $49,850 to $84,950 | $59,500 | $131,000 to $169,850 (4 listings) |
| 507-42 | About 34 | $39,850 to $48,850 | $42,850 | $137,850 (1 listing) |
| 509-42 | About 28 | $39,000 to $63,850 | $43,850 | About $132,000 (2 listings) |
| 512-56 | About 36 | $50,000 to $114,450 | $68,850 | $143,900 to $187,563 (5 listings) |
| 506-36 | 6 | $36,850 to $49,950 | $36,850 | $124,850 (1 listing) |
| 514-56 | 4 | $69,850 to $79,850 | $74,950 | None listed |
Median hours on JCB listings ranged from about 2,400 to 3,400, higher than many aerial lifts, so engine, transmission and boom wear matter as much as model year. JCB does not publish list prices, so ask a dealer for a quote on a new unit.

JCB Telehandler Features
- High boom design: JCB uses a high boom layout on models such as the 506-36 and 510-56, which it credits for their lift capacity and height.
- Side-mounted engine: easy ground-level access for daily checks.
- Low-effort servo controls: arranged in a pattern most operators already know.
- Wide-set stabilizers: standard on the 56 ft models (510-56, 512-56 and 514-56) for stability at height.
- Boom overlaps: JCB uses boom section overlaps of up to about 3.2 ft for strength and durability.
- Electric option: the 505-20E compact runs on batteries for indoor and low-noise work.
What to Check Before Buying a Used JCB Telehandler
- Read the serial plate and load chart decals and confirm they match the model and attachments you need.
- Check the hour meter and ask for maintenance records, including engine, transmission and axle oil changes.
- Start the engine cold and look for smoke, hard starting, leaks and DEF or emissions warnings on newer units.
- Extend and retract the boom fully. Watch for jerky movement, drifting and worn wear pads, and check the boom for cracks or welds.
- Test the stabilizers, frame leveling and load moment indicator.
- Drive in every gear and steering mode (front, four-wheel and crab), and test the service and parking brakes.
- Check the carriage, quick-hitch and forks for wear, bends and cracks.
- Look for hydraulic leaks at cylinders, hoses and the pump.
- Inspect the tires, the cab glass and ROPS/FOPS for damage.
