The machine offers higher standards of Reliability, Efficiency, Comfort, and most importantly Safety. The machine is manufactured at JCB?s state- of-the art factory in Jaipur.
JCB India's CEO and Managing Director, Deepak Shetty said "This world-class machine is designed around safety and productivity and gives our customers the option to buy Made-in-India machines with full product support. Our customers can now buy new equipment with full warranty and JCB support backup and not depend on used imports. We have invested significantly in our Jaipur facility so that these machines can be built, to one-global-quality standard"
The machine has a platform height of 65 ft & 4 in and has a reach of 56 ft & 6 in with 450 kgs maximum load. The machine is powered by a JCB diesel engine and comes with two work zones. It has an 8 ft platform, and the machine maximum weight is 12,500 kgs.

It offers greater productivity through intuitive controls, oscillating starting angle, and Joystick ergonomics for fatigue free working.
He further added, "India is a strong economy in the world today. As business and trade increase, so will the opportunities for products such as the Telescopic Boom Lift. The T 65D is available not only for the Domestic market, which is expected to significantly grow over the next few years, but also for exports around the world"
The T 65D is exported to developed markets and are an embodiment of JCB's make in India initiative. They are used in Construction, Cement, Oil & Gas industries.
