World's leading manufacturer for material handling equipment, JCB recently inaugurated its first Telescopic Boom Platform, the T 65D in Goa. The inauguration was done during the Ariel Platform Association of India's (APAOI) conference. The machine is manufactured in JCB's factory in Jaipur.

Being powered by a JCB diesel engine, the T 65D has a platform height of 65 feet and four inches and has a reach of 56 feet and six inches with a maximum load of 450kgs. With an eight feet platform and the maximum weight of 12,500kgs, the machine comes in two work zones.

Along with the four-wheel-drive as a standard feature, the machine has safety features which include the secondary guarding system and crush hazard which functions in protecting the operator.

Speaking about the machine, Deepak Shetty, JCB India's CEO and Managing Director, said "This world-class machine is designed around Safety and Productivity and gives our customers the option to buy Made-in-India machines with full product support.  Our customers can now buy new equipment with full warranty and JCB support backup and not depend on used imports. We have invested significantly in our Jaipur facility so that these machines can be built, to one-global-quality standard" 

He further added, "India is a strong economy in the world today. As business and trade increase, so will the opportunities for products such as the Telescopic Boom Lift. The T 65D is available not only for the Domestic market, which is expected to significantly grow over the next few years, but also for exports around the world." 

The T 65D is utilized in construction, cement, oil and gas industries. They are also popular in airports and warehouses or any application where people are required to operate at heights. The machine is exported to developed markets and is in line with JCB's ‘Make in India' initiative. For the seamless operation of these machines in India, the company has 11 dealers with trained engineers and parts backup.
