JCB rigid telehandler 535-125: model code for 3,500 kg lift capacity and 12.5 m lift height, 55 kW engine output and 10,066 kg operating weight in this rigid-frame telehandler
JCB is a British construction equipment manufacturer based in Rocester, Staffordshire, known for its yellow excavators and telehandlers. On JCB's rigid telehandlers, the model designation states the key figures directly: the first digits give the lift capacity in tenths of a tonne, the last ones the maximum lift height in metres.

For the 535-125, these figures match the register data exactly: 3,500 kg lift capacity and 12.5 m lift height. Maximum reach is 8.06 m, operating weight 10,066 kg, engine output 55 kW and travel speed 29 km/h.
A rigid chassis with four-wheel steering is the norm for this type, unlike the rotating upper carriage of a rotary telehandler. Load charts on such machines drop sharply as the boom extends, so the full 3,500 kg capacity is only reached with the boom retracted or barely extended and at low lift height; the machine is built for site logistics and lifting to considerable heights. The chassis and counterweight are kept compact enough that the machine still manoeuvres well when driving between individual lifting points on site.
When buying a used rigid telehandler of this size, check wear and play in the telescopic slides, the sealing of the lift cylinders, and the condition of the load chains inside the boom, which are stressed most at full reach. Parts for the engine, hydraulics and attachment forks are readily available through JCB's dense dealer network.

What to check before buying
- Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
- Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
- Load the hydraulics and watch for sag.
- Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
