JCB and Kohler have produced a unique engine for compact wheel loaders for the 409. It complies with Stage IIIB / Tier 4F standards using only the DOC system, and the power and torque at low rpm ensure fuel efficiency. The compact dimensions ensure a small turning radius.
A variable-speed cooling fan, driven from the crank gear, ensures optimum rpm in every situation, without over-using engine power.Power is efficiently transferred to the ground thanks to the innovative chassis, with all components working perfectly together.Several axle options are available for the JCB 409, including open differential axles for hard surfaces and limited-slip differentials for soft and muddy ground.

Our 100% switchable front axle differential lock provides exceptional traction in muddy terrain and does not generate shear forces, so it does not damage the ground when not in use. It can be activated on the move and under load.

Thanks to its hydrostatic drive, the 409 wheel loader is very easy to operate, even for the inexperienced. This means there is less risk of overloading the machine at the expense of excessive fuel consumption.

With the high flow option, the JCB 409 compact wheel loader has a hydraulic capacity increased by 30 litres and a higher flow rate of 120.8 l/min.
JCB's articulated steering system has an easy-to-use, built-in side shift - ideal for pallet work.The JCB 409 is an extremely versatile loader, useful for a multitude of tasks, with plenty of options to create the best solution to your needs, as well as a huge number of easily replaceable attachments.Equip your loader with our new towing option and you get a tow bar with rear electrics and hydraulics, allowing you to tow trailers up to 3.5t or hang rear, attachments such as a salt spreader.

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

Our loaders become even more versatile when you use both front and rear attachments at the same time. You can, for example, combine a snow plough and a rear sand spreader.

We have used the best engine, gearbox and axle components in the 409 loader, from suppliers such as DANA and Bosch.
This loader has a strong chassis and the best possible load distribution; this allows optimum absorption of external forces.We know how hard it can be to move materials, so we have used a reinforced centre 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 fastened, well 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 new 409 wheeled loader provides the best possible operator environment with low noise levels, conducive to productive work without fatigue and in comfortable conditions.
Visibility is first-rate, with an excellent view around the machine thanks to the large window panels and narrow cab pillars. This is further enhanced by the parallel geometry of the loader's arms.A large door opening and well-placed steps provide easy and safe access to the 409 loader's cab, and controls are ergonomically located within easy reach.Serviceability on this compact loader is similarly impressive, with grouped daily checkpoints accessible from ground level, a wide-opening bonnet and long 500-hour service intervals.

Oil-bath disc brakes ensure almost completely maintenance-free operation and all service points have been grouped together for convenience.

To protect your fleet from theft, the JCB 409 wheel loader can be fitted with a new version of the immobiliser.
The entry steps are sloping, evenly spaced and complemented by well-placed handholds so that operators have three points of contact when entering/exiting the JCB 409 cab.As the exhaust 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 409 loader's attachments.
