Machinery and Equipment: 200,000 Loadalls later, telescopic boom loader is here to stay

JCB passed a major milestone last week, when the 200,000th Loadall was produced.

The first JCB Loadall was produced at JCB’s World HQ in Rocester, Staffordshire, on October 3, 1977.

This was the JCB 520 model. In the first full year of production, less than 300 machines were made, by just a handful of employees.
