Deon Cope, JCBCEA’s national product manager for Wheel Loaders, said the 422ZX delivers productivity as well as serviceability and comfort for operators.

“During a typical duty cycle, the 422ZX is up to 26 per cent more fuel efficient than other wheel loader brands in the market,” Cope said.

The 422ZX features a 500-hour service interval and a gullwing bonnet side panel design that makes for easy ground level access to service check points.

Operator comfort is also top of mind with the 422ZX, having a modern spacious cab that meets ROPS and FOPS standards and features an in-cab heater and air conditioning. 

The 422ZX uses a JCB Dieselmax engine, delivering 525Nm of torque and an emergency steer system is also fitted allowing for machine recovery should it lose power, giving operators the ability to steer the machine into a safe area if a malfunction should occur.

For harsh and dusty working environments such as feedlots a reversible cooling fan to prevent dust build-up in the cooling pack can be provided.
