Hydrostatic and powershift in new JCB forklift transmission

Currently available transmissions on telescopic farm forklifts are either mechanical, powershift, hydrostatic, or continual variation 100% hydrostatic.

The transmission is not always well suited to both the handling and transport work these machines do.

About 60% of the time, they are used for low-speed applications like handling livestock feed and forage, or loading materials.
