JCB TLT 30D 4x4 and TLT 35D 4x4: telehandler

History and service record of TLT 30D 4x4 and TLT 35D 4x4

• Teletruk capacity. JCB's Teletruk brochure gives TLT25, 30 and 35 a maximum 3,500 kg capacity, 2,400 kg at 2 m reach and 5,150 mm lift height, with full free lift standard and negative lift that reaches below ground level or below a ship's deck. Teletruk TLT25/30/35 brochure, JCB.
• Kohler engine without a DPF. The Tier 4/Stage IIIB JCB Diesel by Kohler engine on the TLT 30 High Lift, TLT 35D and TLT 35D 4x4 uses common-rail injection, needs no diesel particulate filter and offers up to 32 percent fuel saving against the earlier Tier 3 machine on the VDI 2198 cycle. Teletruk TLT25/30/35 brochure, JCB.
• Single-side loading. Because the boom reaches forward, one side of a lorry can be unloaded with only one curtain opened, and JCB says the Teletruk typically saves up to 30 percent on operating costs compared with a masted forklift. Teletruk TLT25/30/35 brochure, JCB.
• Changezee carriage. The hydraulic quick-disconnect Changezee carriage lets the operator change attachments within 30 seconds without leaving the cab. Teletruk TLT25/30/35 brochure, JCB.
• TLT 35D basics. JCB New Zealand lists the TLT35 at 5,100 to 5,500 kg depending on spec, in 2WD or optional 4WD, with a 3,500 kg capacity, a 4.4 m lift height (4.35 m for 4WD) and 111 degrees of carriage rotation. TLT 35D Telescopic Forklift, JCB New Zealand.
• 4x4 that locks up at speed. A forklift forum thread about a TLT 4x4 describes a machine that is fine at slow speed but locks to the point of stalling the engine when driven fast and stops doing it if the left-hand anti-slip valve solenoid is disconnected; a reply said crushed wheel speed sensor wiring under its flexible conduit caused about 80 percent of the faults he had seen on the 4x4 system. JCB TLT30D 4x4, Forkliftaction forum.
• Reading the controller codes. In that thread a reply asks whether both controllers have been checked for fault codes and notes that the red status light flashes Morse code when it detects an error. JCB TLT30D 4x4, Forkliftaction forum.
• Negative lift and power down. JCB's Teletruk brochure says the machines can reach below ground level or below the deck on a ship with negative lift, and that unlike ordinary lift trucks that lower by gravity the Teletruk uses full power down too, for precision in specialist applications. TLT25/30/35 Teletruk brochure, JCB.
• Operating cost claim. JCB's brochure claims typical savings of up to 30% on operating costs compared with a masted fork lift truck, from the time, space and fuel saved by single-side loading, and says full free lift comes standard on all the machines without an expensive free lift mast. TLT25/30/35 Teletruk brochure, JCB.
• Reach and visibility. JCB's brochure says the telescopic boom lets the driver load the far side of rail wagons across the platform gap, reach inside sprinter vans and load ships from the quayside, and that with no mast blocking the view ahead the side-mounted boom gives better operator visibility than a conventional forklift. TLT25/30/35 Teletruk brochure, JCB.
