JCB Loadall door

[Mounty]

Need a new bottom door for our 526-56. f**k are they expensive!!!! Just for frame, no glass or hinges I believe.
Is there anywhere that breaks telehandlers or somewhere I might find a used part?

Far better and safer without a door at all IMO.
Take ours off at all times, nothing but a pain in the neck. They are just damned dangerous things as far as I am concerned.

Well we've had to for now, but loading lime, the dust is a bit much at times.

How on earth is it safer without a door!

Because if you do happen to tip it over then you can fall out just as it goes and get crushed by the ROPS!!!

Try vicary plant at north kilworth leics

Try getting in and out of one several times an hour on a windy day; then you wouldn't need to ask the question. Much much safer without one.

You are confusing safety and convenience - definitely safer with a door as a previous poster said.

That's such a non sensical answer. If you have no door you have even less chance of staying in the machine.

Never used to operate a jcb with the top part open anyway, what's the point of having air con if you are going to open the door and have it not working to its full efficiency and letting all the dust in.

My answer was a tongue in cheek attempt!!! I know I was stating the obvious!!!!

Tidy job. At least JCB make their doors out of box profile, unlike Manitou’s pressed steel effort.

Most people just claim of insurance for broken doors?‍

 

[Farmer_Joe]

I would have done but my excess is more than cost of glass, to be fair if I had smashed door bottom rather than just mantanence I definitely would have claimed! He quoted for lower door and it was around 375 plus vat
