To protect your fleet from theft, the JCB 406 wheel loader can be fitted with a new version of the immobiliser.
The entry steps are complemented by well-placed handholds so that operators have three points of contact when entering/exiting the JCB 406 cab.
Because exhaust gas treatment is not present here, our JCB Diesel by Kohler engines are extremely compact and do not restrict visibility. The sloping angled rear bonnet provides unobstructed visibility, and the exhaust muffler and air intake filter have been positioned out of the field of view.A two-stage quick-disconnect system has been installed in the cab to prevent accidental release of the 406 loader attachment.

The power in the JCB 406 wheeled loader is efficiently transferred to the ground thanks to the innovative chassis, with excellent cooperation between all components.
JCB's articulated steering system has an easy-to-use, built-in side shift - ideal for pallet work.
The JCB 406 is an extremely versatile loader, useful for numerous tasks, with plenty of options to create the best solution to your needs, as well as a huge number of easily interchangeable attachments.By splitting power between the drive and hydraulics, our impulse pedal enables precise, efficient and smooth load handling.

By distributing power between the drive and hydraulics, our impulse pedal enables precise, efficient and smooth handling of loads.

We have used the best engine, gearbox and axle components in the 406 loader, from suppliers such as DANA and Bosch.
The loader has a strong chassis and the best possible load distribution; this allows optimum absorption of external forces.
We know how heavy material handling can be, so we used a reinforced version of the central joint with a +/- 40 steering angle. Precision machining ensures high tolerances and accurate pin and bushing locations.The rear lights are recessed into a solid counterweight for protection against damage, and the hydraulic hoses are carefully routed and secured far enough away from potential jam points.We use state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, finite element analysis and extensive equipment testing to ensure the highest levels of quality. Cold chamber testing guarantees start-up efficiency to -20C.

The JCB 406 wheel loader has a comfortable and spacious cab with noise levels lower than those of the outgoing models. The operator's station is designed to provide optimum visibility around the entire machine, unobstructed by obstructions such as exhaust pipes.
Our tiltable, telescopic steering column is easy to adjust and all the instruments necessary to operate this loader are within easy reach from the seat, so there is no need to look around for information while working.
Thanks to the fully opening right window (optional), JCB 406 operators can benefit from better ventilation while still being protected from dust.
This compact loader is equipped with a new joystick control system for comfortable and intuitive operation.
