These include new remote machine management features including JCB IntelliSense integration – available on Hi-Viz Loadall telescopic handlers. JCB LiveLink is designed to help customers monitor and maintain their machines more effectively. Currently connecting more than 580,000 machines worldwide and supporting over 40,000 customers, JCB LiveLink is accessible through a web browser and mobile app and covers JCB and mixed fleets. The system provides information on machine location, utilisation, fuel consumption, maintenance requirements and security, helping customers maximise uptime, improve fuel efficiency and make more informed operational decisions. “Customers are increasingly looking for ways to reduce operating costs, improve machine utilisation and maintain safe, efficient worksites. JCB LiveLink continues to evolve to support those 1fleet, overseeing a project or operating a machine themselves, customers need access to information that is relevant to their role and helps them make informed decisions,” JCB Group Managing Director – Global Aftersales, Mario Moser, said. “By helping customers make better-informed decisions, LiveLink can bring increased profitability, safer working environments and more sustainable machine operation.” JCB’s Hi-Viz Loadall telescopic handlers – the 535-125, 540-140 and 540-180 models now benefit from enhanced remote management functionality through LiveLink. Fleet managers can remotely adjust a range of machine settings including Auto Stop parameters, speed limit controls, IntelliSense activation, tyre pressure monitoring settings and remote PIN management. LiveLink provides detailed information on machine operation including working time, idle time, fuel consumption and CO₂ output. Automated reports and flexible monitoring tools help business owners, fleet managers and site teams track machine performance across multiple assets and locations. By identifying underused equipment, excessive idle time and unnecessary fuel consumption, customers can improve working practices, lower operating costs and support preventative maintenance programs. LiveLink also provides fuel consumption and CO₂ reporting, helping customers measure efficiency improvements and support wider sustainability objectives and contractual compliance. The platform is also supported by the JCB Operator App, enabling operators to complete machine checks and helping ensure equipment remains safe, compliant and ready for work.
