JCB 512-56 Load Chart
With a maximum lift capacity of 12,000 lb (5444 kg), this telehandler delivers strong performance, especially when used with stabilizers extended, where it can lift up to 5000 lb (2268 kg) to full height and 3500 lb (1588 kg) at full forward reach. The JCB 512-56 load chart illustrates two configurations:
Stabilizers Extended – Provides optimal lifting capacity across the full reach and height envelope, supporting heavy loads even at maximum extension.
Stabilizers Retracted – Shows reduced lift capacity, suitable for operations where outriggers cannot be deployed, while still maintaining good performance.
Key performance specs include a maximum lift height of 56 ft (17.07 m), a forward reach of up to 42 ft (12.80 m), and a frame sway angle of 10 degrees. This chart reflects capacities when equipped with a 72” carriage and 48” pallet forks, compliant with ANSI/ITSDF B56.6 safety standards, making it ideal for demanding material handling in construction and industrial settings.
