JCB is breaking into the 100-plus horsepower range for its compact track loader lineup with the debut of the 4TS Teleskid and 400T CTL.
As the largest models in JCB’s compact track loader lineup, these machines are a step up from the 3TS, delivering more horsepower and higher torque.
JCB developed the 4TS and 400T with extensive customer feedback, incorporating updates that deliver more power, greater reach and improved productivity.
“These machines reflect our commitment to equipping operators with the tools they need to work smarter, not harder,” said Lee Tice, Product Manager at JCB.
“Whether you’re managing construction projects, tackling forestry challenges or handling versatile applications, these machines are built to exceed expectations.”
4TS Teleskid
The 5.9-tonne, 109 hp 4TS Teleskid is a game-changer for construction contractors looking to maximize equipment usage.
The 3TS revolutionized the industry, and the 4TS raises the bar even higher – nearly 60-cm higher. Featuring a 4.5 metre lift height and a nearly 1,800-kg rated operating capacity, the 4TS eliminates the need for a separate telehandler in many situations, providing a single machine that handles everything from grading and trenching to material handling and loading. As a true start-to-finish tool, the 4TS allows contractors to consolidate equipment fleets and increase jobsite efficiency.
Its compact profile enables the 4TS to navigate tight spaces with ease while excelling in heavy-duty applications.
More news from JCB:
With a 4.5 metre lift height, the 4TS is ideal for stacking, loading and accessing hard-to-reach areas. Addressing feedback from 3TS owners, the 4TS is designed to run high-flow attachments even when the boom is fully extended, overcoming a key challenge and expanding its capabilities for complex jobsite operations.
The 4TS features a newly designed low-leak valve body that prevents boom drift, ensuring materials stay exactly where you need them – even when the boom is fully extended. This design delivers unmatched precision and enhanced safety on the jobsite.
“The 4TS Teleskid bridges the gap between compact and capability,” Tice said. “It’s the ultimate all-in-one machine for contractors who need to get more done with less equipment.”

400T CTL
The 400T compact track loader is built for operators facing demanding applications like forestry, snow removal and land clearing.
With an operating weight of 5.7 tonnes, the 109-hp 400T is built to handle heavy-duty tasks while maintaining the agility expected from a compact loader.
JCB redesigned the machine’s chassis and expanded the cooling pack to eliminate the need for auxiliary coolers, ensuring optimal performance during extended high-flow operations. Delivering over 151 litres per minute of hydraulic flow at 4,000 psi, the vertical lift 400T powers demanding attachments like drum mulchers, making it a reliable workhorse for tough applications.
“When you need equipment that works as hard as you do, the 400T is the answer,” Tice said. “With its increased engine and hydraulic performance, it’s a true workhorse built for operators tackling the most challenging applications.”
