Dubai (PlantAndEquipment.com) – JCB has introduced the 455 ZX wheel loader, engineered to perform across diverse working conditions. Powered by a 7.2-litre, six-cylinder DieselMAX engine delivering 165 kW and 1,000 Nm of torque at low revs, the machine promises strong and efficient performance.
The model incorporates a ZF powershift transmission with clutch cut-off and limited-slip differentials. Its Z-bar loader geometry is designed to deliver high breakout forces and faster cycle times.
Operator comfort is enhanced with a ROPS/FOPS-certified cab that features air conditioning, an adjustable steering column, and a blend of analogue dials with an LCD display.
For servicing, the loader provides wide-opening engine bay doors, ground-level access for daily checks, and grouped test ports. Safety measures include rear-view cameras, non-slip walkways, and high-mounted steering rams. Key components from leading suppliers such as ZF, Rexroth, and Parker contribute to reliability and durability.
