542-100 AGRI Telescopic Handler: Lift Heavier, Lift Higher
542-100 JCB AGRI telehandler
Are you looking for a machine that delivers higher capacity on all fronts without compromising on footprint? Introducing the JCB agriculture telehandler 542-100 range.
This JCB AGRI telehandler from JCB delivers a bigger and better machine capacity in the same footprint as the 536-95. With the highest lift height and greatest lift capacity on the market, this JCB AGRI Loadall is a powerful productivity booster.
Available with DualTech VT technology
The JCB 542-100 come with DualTech variable transmission as standard- the world’s first and only 2-in-1 variable transmission (hydrostatic and powershift). Providing a seamless transition from hydrostatic to direct mechanical drive, DualTech VT enables precise low-speed manoeuvring control and smooth, progressive response for loading and handling cycles. To enhance comfort and convenience, increase productivity, and provide faster working speeds.
Key features of DualTech VT include:
Hydrostatic transmission mode
Hydrostatic drive provides fast response, fine speed adjustment and infinitely variable working speeds from 0-22kph *model dependent.
Powershift transmission mode
However, when the 542-100 AGRI Loadall exceeds 19-22kph*, the DualTech VT switches automatically to direct mechanical drive, which uses gears to shift smoothly up to a true 40/50kph speed*^.
Eco and power modes
The power setting enables operators to exploit full engine revs and power output to get jobs done quickly. Using the economy setting, operators can reduce fuel consumption with the 1,700rpm ceiling on engine revs.
Flexi mode
With flexi mode, engine speed and ground speed can be controlled independently.
Drive mode
Operators can use drive mode to influence hydrostatic output and engine speed using acceleration, with control electronics balancing the two.
*Exceeding either 19kph or 22kph model dependant.
*^40kph or 50kph true speed model dependant.Increased productivity
The JCB 542-100, high capacity Loadall, has power for all applications with the option of either a 130hp (97kW), 150hp (112kW) or 173hp (129kW) engine.
- Reach higher than ever before with a max lift height of 9.8 m.
- Lift greater then before with a maximum lifting capacity of 4200kg.
- The 542-100 comes with an even greater dump and crowd angle rotation.
- The 542-100 is also the first DualTech VT machine with a chassis and axle levelling system.
Increased efficiency
Now, you can work even faster, saving time and fuel with DualTech VT transmission that reaches up to 50kph*.
- Our DualTech VT variable transmissions are half hydrostatic and half direct mechanical drive, maximising efficiency, towing capability, and high-speed performance.
- Our Smart Hydraulic system regenerates the oil in the rams, meaning lower engine revs and higher fuel efficiency.
- Experience increased power thanks to the 542-100’s 173hp (129kW) JCB DieselMAX 4-cylinder Stage V engine.
Increased comfort
We’ve made the 542-100 even more comfortable, providing farm operators with the ultimate driving experience.
- Our CommandPlus cab provides operators with the best-in-class cab space and a 50% reduction in cab noise to help you work productively with less fatigue over a long working day.
- The seamless one-piece, multi-curved glazing, increases front visibility by 14%.
- Bluetooth radio with integrated microphone in the A-pillar trim for hands free mobile phone connectivity.
Increased reliability
When it comes to reliability, this JCB agriculture telehandler delivers every time, meaning you can get more done in less time.
- Our patented Adaptive Load Control System allows the operator to drive seamlessly without hindering productivity and ensuring stability.
- With a 160litre/min variable displacement piston pump, delivering 14% more flow for improved multi-functioning.
- LiveLink telematics are standard on the JCB agriculture telehandler range helping to monitor machine health, operation, and service requirements with real time alerts.
Increased ease of use
We’ve made the 542-100 even easier to use, for ultimate operator comfortability and efficiency.
- Enjoy 4WD as standard, 2WD at the press of a button, and the option of limited slip differential, assuring traction at all times*.
- A constant flow auxiliary allows for hydraulically powered attachments.
- Hydraulic auxiliary button venting releases pressure from inside and outside the cab for quick and safe agricultural attachment changeover.
Why Choose Our Agri Telescopic Handler
JCB has been producing farm equipment since 1945, when Joseph Cyril Bamford built his first trailer. We’ve always understood that, when it comes to agricultural machinery, only the very greatest levels of performance and productivity will do.
As we speak, we are continuing to innovate and push the boundaries in research and development to meet new and evolving demands in agriculture. Similarly, we know our customers are also always evolving and trying to find the best solutions to meet their needs.
That’s why we’ve developed the JCB 542-100 agriculture telehandler, to provide higher lift height and greater lift capacity than ever before – so you can work smarter, not harder.
