280 In todays tough, hazardous working conditions, the safety of the skid steer operator is paramount. Thats why JCB designed the worlds 1st skid steer loaders with a side door. That means, unlike ordinary skid steers, youll never risk injury by climbing over attachments to enter the cab through the front window. JCBs New Generation skid steers also offer an unparalleled 270 degrees of visibility. Thats 60 percent more than ordinary skid steers. Weve accomplished this thanks to JCBs unique PowerBoom design, a concept that promotes operator safety, productivity and machine reliability under the most extreme job site conditions. JCBs New Generation skid steers also take into account operator comfort. We made our machines 33 percent larger and quieter than other skid steers.
