Telescopic lift, reach and digging capability brought to cramped work sites and for those who move from one site to the next
JCB has introduced a new compact track Teleskid loader equipped with a telescopic boom that lifts, reaches and digs.
The 2TS-7T is based on the company’s small platform skid steer chassis.
The new machine is aimed at farmers and contractors who want a sub-2,300-pound skid steer. It brings telescopic lift, reach and digging capability to people who work on cramped work sites or who move regularly from one site to the next.
The 2TS-7T is powered by a 74 horsepower Kohler engine that meets Tier 4 final emission standards with no diesel exhaust fluid, no diesel particulate filter or other exhaust after treatment, according to a JCB news release.
