JCB announced it had signed a long-term agreement to supply engines for a new range of rotating telescopic handlers to be launched by an Italian manufacturer. MAGNI Telescopic Handlers, headed by Riccardo Magni, will produce up to 1,000 machines a year from a new 6,000 sq m production facility in Castelfranco Emilia, near Modena. The agreement to supply the Ecomax engine to MAGNI TH is another significant milestone for JCB and follows a recently announced -3 million a year deal to provide Johnston Sweepers, the world's leading manufacturer of street cleansing equipment, with the JCB Ecomax engine. The Magni Rotos will be powered by the fuel-efficient JCB Ecomax Tier 4i engine. There will be seven models in the range offering payloads of between four and six tonne and with lift heights of between 18 and 30 m.
