407ZX

The JCB 407 wheel loader has a comfortable and spacious cab with noise levels lower than our outgoing model. The operating position is designed for optimum all-round visibility, unhindered by components like silencers. Our tilting telescopic steering column is easy to adjust, and all instruments needed to operate this loading shovel are within easy reach of the seat, so there’s no need to hunt around for information whilst working. With a fully opening right-hand window, JCB 407 operators can enjoy increased ventilation whilst still being protected from dust. This compact loading shovel is equipped with a new ergonomically designed joystick control system for comfortable and intuitive operation.

JCB and Kohler have produced the ultimate compact wheel loader engine for the 407. It’s Stage IIIB/Tier 4F-compliant using only a DOC, while low-rev power and torque means good fuel economy. Dimensions are compact for small turning circles. A variable speed engine crank-driven cooling fan maintains optimum fan speed for all requirements without using any excess engine power. The 407 loading shovel has a new high speed option – this provides a 30 km/h top speed. Power is transferred to the ground efficiently through an innovative chassis, with perfect harmony between all components. We offer several axle options on the JCB 407 including open diffs for hard ground and limited slip diffs for soft muddy terrain. Our 100% switchable front axle diff lock option provides ultimate traction on mud and creates no shear forces, so won’t damage the ground when it’s not in use. It can also be engaged on the move and under load. Hydrostatic drive makes the 407 wheel loader very easy to operate even for the inexperienced. That means there’s less risk of overpowering the machine at a cost to fuel economy.

We’ve used only the very finest engine, driveline and axle components on the 407 wheel loader, from suppliers like DANA and Bosch. This loading shovel benefits from a strong chassis and the best possible weight distribution; this allows for optimal absorption of external forces. We understand how tough materials handling can be, so we use a heavy-duty centre joint which oscillates through ±40°. Precision machining provides high tolerances and accurate location of pins and bushes on these loading shovels. Rear lights are recessed within the solid counterweight casting for impact protection and hydraulic hoses are neatly routed, properly clamped, and positioned away from potential pinching spots. We use state-of-the-art manufacturing processes, finite element analysis and extensive rig testing to achieve the very highest levels of quality. Cold cell testing guarantees starting performance at temperatures as low as -20°C.

The JCB 407 wheel loader can be equipped with a new immobiliser option, which can help prevent thefts from your fleet. Access steps are complemented by well positioned handles so that operators have three points of contact whenever they’re entering or exiting the JCB 407’s cab. With no exhaust after treatment, our JCB Diesel by Kohler engines are extremely compact for uncompromised visibility. The sloping rear bonnet provides an unimpeded view, with the exhaust silencer and air intake filter both packaged out of sight. We’ve fitted an in-cab electronic 2-stage quickhitch isolation system to prevent uncontrolled release of attachments on the 407 loading shovel.

Most T4F engines use a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF) or SCR, requiring costly AdBlue fluid level maintenance or heat-resistant lube oils. The new Kohler engine designed by JCB doesn't, thus reducing service and running costs. Operators and managers of the JCB 407 wheel loader can access vital information like machine running times and error alerts at the touch of a button on the in-cab display and if needed via JCB’s LiveLink telematics system. The JCB 407 has a cyclonic pre-filter which maximises air filtration and extends filter element service intervals significantly. A large single piece bonnet provides quick and convenient access to all daily check points, as well as the engine bay and cooling pack of your wheel loader. Your local JCB dealer will be able to supply all parts for your 407 loading shovel, including JCB Diesel by Kohler engine components. This model also shares parts with other JCB machinery, making everything even more readily available. A stylish, modern central dash display combines analogue dials and a colour LCD screen – this can display machine health details, service requirements, operating information and more.
