JCB forklift hits milestone

JCB are celebrating a major milestone with their JCB Teletruk industrial forklift – the production of the 7,500th machine.

The Teletruk was launched to the UK market in 1997 and since then its appeal has widened to include customers across the world, including Brazil, South Africa and the USA. The latest new export dealers to order Teletruks are based in New Zealand and Australia. 



The machine, produced at JCB Utility Products, Cheadle, Staffordshire, was launched after almost two years of secret development work and because of its telescopic boom, which allows it to reach forwards and place loads, it is much more versatile than traditional masted forklifts.
