The new rotating telehandler has a 7-inch display screen that can be programmed with envelop limits and it also can be utlized with a range of attachments, including winches and work platforms, with RFID tags for active load charts. The 512-83R’s stabilizers feature auto one-touch deployment, stowage and levelling, and the machine also has JCB LiveLink telematics system as standard with a 5-year subscription.
