The JCB TM320 combines the central driving position and all-round visibility of a wheeled loading shovel with the reach and lift versatility of a telescopic handler.
The TM320 has a maximum 3,200 kg (7,000 lb) lift capacity, which is available to a full lift height of 5.2 m (17 ft), as well as from ground level. It delivers a maximum 1,750 kg (3,860 lb) of lift capacity at full forward reach of 2.95 m (9.7 ft) ahead of the front wheels. This combination of lift and reach performance makes the TM320 highly versatile, ideal for general lift and place applications. The TM320 is powered by a 4.4-litre version of the award-winning JCB EcoMAX engine, developing 93 kW (125h p). The EcoMAX engine meets EU Stage IV / US Tier 4 Final emissions compliance using JCB’s selective catalytic reduction (SCR) system. There is no requirement for diesel particulate filters (DPF) which JCB indicates can compromise the engine installation and potentially add to machine servicing costs.
The engine, through a four-speed JCB Powershift transmission, has a maximum speed of 40 km/hr (25 mi/hr). A load-sensing hydraulic system has an output of 140-litres/min (31 gal/min). The Powershift transmission can be operated in automatic mode or manually, using a traditional left hand lever, by operating the shift and forward-reverse selector switches mounted on the Servo joystick. A hydraulic reversible cooling fan option is available, that provides a choice of reversing intervals to suit different situations, as well as manual activation to clean the cooling pack of dust and debris when necessary. The TM320 also has cylinder end damping as standard, which improves the operating experience when the telescopic section of the boom is fully extended and when the boom is retracted and lowered. JCB’s Auto Smooth Ride System boom suspension is available as an option.
A full colour instrument display is one of several new features in the spacious operator’s cab, providing information and warnings in a clearer at-a-glance format. Daily checks for engine oil, coolant and washer fluid levels can be completed from the driver’s seat during engine start-up, saving time and ensuring that essential checks are carried out as a matter of routine. The machine is also equipped with hard wearing bronze graphite bushes, extending the chassis pivot and boom greasing interval to 500 hours. A rear-view camera with colour display can be supplied, and an immobiliser key option complements the theft deterrence provided by JCB LiveLink.
