JCB 70 000BTU / 20kW Diesel Space Heater 496m³ Coverage Kerosene or Diesel Thermostat

The JCB‑SH70D is a compact, efficient diesel/kerosene space heater designed for industrial and commercial environments. Producing a powerful 20kW / 68,243 BTU heat output, it’s ideal for workshops, factories, distribution centres, MOT bays, garages, agricultural buildings and construction sites.

High Heat Output — Up to 496m³ Coverage

Using efficient diesel combustion, the JCB‑SH70D delivers enough heat to warm areas up to 496m³. Its integrated flame cone helps direct and disperse heat precisely where needed, ensuring fast, consistent heating performance in open or semi‑open spaces.

Energy‑Efficient Heating

This heater is one of the most economical ways to heat large areas, consuming just 1.9L of fuel per hour. The built‑in adjustable thermostat allows you to set and maintain your desired temperature, improving comfort and reducing fuel waste.

Portable and Easy to Move

Weighing only 16.5kg, the JCB‑SH70D is easy to manoeuvre thanks to:

• Two durable front wheels

• Sturdy rear handle

• Strong steel frame

Operation is simple: fill the 19L fuel tank, plug the 13A UK plug into a standard socket, and set your preferred temperature.

Understanding BTU

A BTU (British Thermal Unit) measures heat energy. One BTU is roughly the heat produced by burning a standard wooden match. In practical terms, 68,243 BTU represents a substantial heating capacity suitable for medium‑to‑large industrial spaces.

Safety Guidance

For safe operation:

• Maintain 8ft (2.4m) clearance from the heater outlet

• Maintain 4ft (1.2m) clearance around the sides and top

• Use only in well‑ventilated areas (e.g., open garages, warehouses with open shutters)

Proper ventilation is essential when operating diesel space heaters.

Warranty & Support

The JCB‑SH70D is backed by a 3‑year JCB warranty (1‑year commercial, terms apply), with full UK parts and service support to ensure long‑term reliability.
