JCB intros improved Multi Shovel in expanded lineup

JCB has expanded its lineup of Multi Shovel attachments to offer more sizes and configurations while making changes to the attachment itself for more strength, capacity and durability.

The attachment is designed for use on JCB Loadall telehandlers and combines a bucket and hydraulically-operated grab. The combination gives farmers and contractors the ability to haul loose materials and handle solid items like bales. The attachment’s end plate sections can also be taken off to allow the Multi Shovel to pick up tree trunks and branches.

JCB says it has increased load capacity on the grab by optimizing the grab shape and ‘bite point’. A grab with forged tines that are bolted on and can be replaced is an available option. A new option is the weld-on toe plate in place of the standard bolt-on design.

Bucket strength has also been increased on the new version of the attachment. JCB says it changed the design of the bucket from a two-piece shell to an 8 millimeter monobloc structure.

The new Multi Shovel also features a larger spill guard for better retention of loose materials.

With the new grab and toe plate options there are now 32 variants of the 1.45, 1.59 and 1.66 cubic meter Multi Shovels. Toe plate widths are available in 2,150 mm (84.6 in.), 2,350 mm (92.5 in.) and 2,450 mm (96.4 in.).

Telescoping arms with a wide reach and a doubled load capacity are key features of Toro’s new Dingo TXL 2000, which is in development. A new compact utility loader in development by Toro was the talk of the American Rental Association show in New Orleans, with passers-by eying the long reach of the vertical telescoping loader arms on the Dingo TXL 2000. The gleaming red prototype represented this model’s debut, and plenty of dealers and contractors got a peek of what’s to come with this machine, which is the first of its kind, according to Toro. “This machine won’t be out until the late part of 2018, and why we’re introducing it here is because it’s our 20-year anniversary of the Dingo product line,” Kevin Conry, senior marketing manager at Toro Siteworks in Bloomington, Minnesota, had explained during the show held February 19-21.
