The machine offers four forward speeds, reaching up to 34 km/h, and includes a three-point sum time of 16.4 seconds for acceleration. The design includes a minimum ground clearance of 472 mm and a departure angle of 23 degrees to handle uneven surfaces common in block yards and construction sites.
Key Features
28-Ton Rated Load Capacity
The machine is rated for a maximum load of 28,000 kg at the maximum front overhang. This capacity allows the handler to lift and transport large precast concrete blocks and heavy structural components safely.
3,230 mm Fork Height
The maximum fork face height reaches 3,230 mm, while the fork carriage height is 4,680 mm. This range enables the operator to load blocks onto trucks or stack them in multi-tier storage configurations.
Standard 1,500 mm Forks
The standard forks measure 1,500 mm in length, 240 mm in width, and 110 mm in thickness. These dimensions provide adequate support for standard-sized precast concrete blocks and heavy masonry units.
21 MPa Hydraulic System
The hydraulic system operates at a pressure of 21 MPa. This pressure supports the lifting and tilting functions required to handle heavy loads with precision and control during placement.
Variable Fork Tilt Angles
At the highest position, the forks can tilt 22 degrees forward and 36 degrees backward. At ground level, the bucket angle is 20 degrees. These angles assist in securing loads and facilitating smooth unloading.
Four-Speed Travel Range
The machine offers four travel speeds: 6.5, 12, 24, and 34 km/h. This range allows the operator to adjust speed for precise positioning during loading or faster transit across large yards.
16,430 mm Turning Diameter
With a turning diameter of 16,430 mm and a steering angle of 35 degrees left and right, the handler maintains reasonable maneuverability for navigating around parked trucks and stacked materials.
23-Degree Departure Angle
The departure angle is 23 degrees, and the minimum ground clearance is 472 mm. These specifications help the machine traverse ramps and uneven ground without damaging the rear chassis.
Where the JGM761FT28M Is Used
Precast Concrete Yards
Used in yards where precast blocks and panels are stored. The 28-ton capacity and 3,230 mm lift height allow for efficient stacking and retrieval of heavy concrete elements from storage racks.
Construction Sites
Suitable for moving heavy masonry units and structural blocks on active construction sites. The variable fork tilt angles help operators place blocks accurately onto foundations or walls.
Quarries and Aggregate Plants
Employed in quarries to transport large stone blocks from cutting areas to processing zones. The robust chassis and 23-degree departure angle support operation on uneven quarry terrain.
Port and Terminal Operations
Used in ports to load and unload heavy block containers or bulk precast units. The 34 km/h top speed facilitates quick movement between storage areas and shipping vessels.
Municipal Infrastructure Projects
Applied in road and bridge construction for handling heavy precast segments. The 21 MPa hydraulic system provides the force needed to lift and position large infrastructure components.

How to Choose the Right Configuration
Verify that your site layout accommodates the machine's 3,085 mm width and 16,430 mm turning diameter. The 9,090 mm overall length and 2,560 mm front overhang require sufficient space for safe maneuvering around storage blocks and access roads.
Confirm your load requirements match the 28,000 kg rated capacity at an 800 mm load center. The 3,230 mm fork face height and 4,680 mm carriage height determine the maximum stacking levels and truck loading heights you can achieve.
The 29,860 kg operating weight and 472 mm ground clearance are critical for transport planning and site access. Ensure your road network and loading ramps can support this weight and clearance, especially on uneven terrain or soft ground.
Daily Operation and Maintenance
Inspect the 1,500 mm forks for cracks or deformation after each shift, as they bear the full 28-ton load during lifting operations.
Check hydraulic fluid levels and look for leaks in the 21 MPa system, paying close attention to the lift and tilt cylinders.
Monitor tire pressure and tread wear weekly, ensuring the 2,370 mm front and rear track widths maintain stable ground contact.
Verify the steering mechanism allows full 35-degree left and right angles to ensure precise maneuvering in tight yards.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the maximum load capacity of the JGM761FT28M?
The machine has a rated load of 28,000 kg when the load center is at 800 mm. This capacity is specified for the maximum front overhang distance, ensuring safe lifting of heavy precast concrete blocks.
How is the machine shipped to port?
The machine is typically shipped on a flatbed or heavy-lift vessel. With an overall length of 9,090 mm and width of 3,085 mm, it requires careful securing. The 29,860 kg operating weight must be considered for vessel stability calculations.
Can the forks be replaced with different attachments?
The standard configuration includes 1,500 mm forks. While the source data does not specify alternative attachments, the 21 MPa hydraulic system and 4,680 mm carriage height suggest compatibility with various lifting devices, subject to manufacturer approval.
