Among the 456ZX wheel loader's features is a stainless-steel exhaust system designed for long life. But beneath the beauty, says JCB, are such features as a load-sensing hydraulic system that uses twin, variable-displacement piston pumps and a fully automatic ZF "Smoothshift" transmission with modulated gear changes.

Number of models: 1

Product-line features: A number of attachments fit directly to the wheel-loader linkage or via the company's "quick-hitch" coupler. Attachments include pallet forks, crane jibs, high-dumping buckets and timber grapples.
