Which JCB Decal Kit Do I Need?
Last updated: July 2026
If you're searching for JCB decals, JCB safety stickers or a JCB sticker kit and can't work out which one matches your machine, you're not alone. JCB's scissor lift range covers nine S-series electric models, and while they look similar from a distance, each one uses its own decal kit with the correct part numbers, layout and safety labelling to match the original build.
Whether you're maintaining a single access platform, running a hire fleet, or servicing machines for customers, choosing the correct decal kit first time avoids unnecessary downtime and repeat orders. The model number gets you most of the way there — but where JCB has made running changes during production, the machine's serial number is what confirms you've got the right one. More on both below.
Why Getting the Right Decal Kit Matters
JCB safety decals aren't just branding — they carry the operating limits, hazard warnings and safe-use instructions that operators and maintenance staff rely on. Missing, faded or incorrect warning decals and safety labels can be flagged during:
- LOLER thorough examinations — scissor lifts are lifting equipment under LOLER, and legible safety markings are part of what an examiner is checking
- PUWER-related checks — covering safe use of work equipment more broadly, including warning and instruction labelling
- Hire fleet presentation standards — many hire companies won't put a machine out with missing or illegible decals
- Site safety inspections — principal contractors increasingly check for this before allowing a machine on site
None of that is meant as a scare tactic — it's simply where "cosmetic" decals stop being cosmetic. Replacing a full kit restores the machine to its original specification in one job, rather than chasing down individual labels one at a time.
JCB Scissor Lifts — Decal Kits by Model
We currently stock safety decal kits and JCB replacement decals for the full JCB S-series electric scissor lift range:
| Model | Approx. Platform Height* | Decal Kit |
|---|---|---|
| JCB S1530E | 15 ft | View Kit |
| JCB S1930E | 19 ft | View Kit |
| JCB S2032E | 20 ft | View Kit |
| JCB S2046E | 20 ft | View Kit |
| JCB S2632E | 26 ft | View Kit |
| JCB S2646E | 26 ft | View Kit |
| JCB S3246E | 32 ft | View Kit |
| JCB S4046E | 40 ft | View Kit |
| JCB S4550E | 45 ft | View Kit |
*Based on the platform height encoded in JCB's own model naming convention, not an exact spec figure — see the note on confirming exact working height below. Useful for a quick sense-check, but the model number and data plate are what actually confirm the right kit.
Common Ordering Mistakes
A few things worth double-checking before you order:
- Confusing similar model numbers — S1930E and S2032E, or S2632E and S2646E, are easy to mix up at a glance
- Ordering by platform height instead of model number — two models can share a similar working height but use different decal layouts
- Assuming all JCB scissor lifts use the same decals — they don't; each model has its own kit
- Replacing only the visible decals and leaving faded mandatory safety labels in place — if one label has gone, others are usually not far behind
Only Need One or Two Decals?
If your kit is mostly intact and you just need to replace a specific JCB warning decal, we stock a range of individual JCB safety labels rather than requiring a full kit purchase:
| Individual Decal | Part Number |
|---|---|
| Electrocution Hazard decal | 400/D2107 |
| Emergency Use Only decal | 400/D2576 |
| Engage Safety Arm decal | 400/D2141 |
| Hot Surface Keep Away decal | 332/P7128 |
| Open Flame Warning decal | 400/D0767 |
| Open Flame Warning decal | 400/G6092 |
| Platform Access decal | 400/L8606 |
| Pressure Hazard — Remove Key decal | 400/G0762 |
| Tie Down Point decal | 332/S5833 |
| Uncontrolled Machine Movement decal | 400/D2979 |
If several decals are missing or badly faded, a full kit usually works out more cost-effective than buying individual labels — but if it's just one or two, there's no need to over-order.
Tips for Applying New JCB Decals
A few basics that make a real difference to how long a new kit lasts:
- Remove all old adhesive residue before applying new decals — a heat gun and plastic scraper work well without damaging paintwork
- Degrease the surface thoroughly; decals applied over oil or grease residue will lift within weeks
- Apply above 10°C where possible — vinyl doesn't adhere well to cold panels
- Start from one edge and work across, smoothing out air bubbles as you go rather than pressing the centre down first
- Allow at least 24 hours before pressure washing the machine, to let the adhesive fully cure
JCB Paint Colours
Alongside decals, the most common follow-up question we get is what paint to use for scuffs and touch-ups. We've covered this in detail in our JCB Paint Codes, Colours & Touch-Up Guide — in short, JCB yellow doesn't have an official RAL reference, which is why searching for one doesn't turn up a straight answer. We stock JCB Yellow Spray Paint formulated to match the factory finish, plus JCB Black for chassis and detail work.
How to Find Your JCB Model and Serial Number
The model designation (e.g. S1930E) is usually printed on the machine itself, but the full serial number — which confirms the exact build and matters if JCB has changed a decal spec during a production run — is found on the data plate. This is typically located:
- On the chassis, near the base of the scissor stack
- Inside or on the control box
- On the platform guardrail frame on some models
While the model number identifies the correct kit in most cases, the serial number is what confirms any running changes JCB made during manufacture — worth having both to hand if you're ordering for an older machine.
Can't Identify Your Machine?
If you've landed here without knowing exactly what you own, that's fine — email us a photo of the machine, the data plate and the existing decals (if any are still fitted), and we'll identify the correct kit before you order. It's often quicker than trying to match it up yourself, and avoids the wasted trip that comes with guessing.
This also covers older or less common JCB access platforms outside the current S-series range — get in touch with your model and serial number and we'll confirm what's available or can be sourced.
Quick decision guide

Know your model number?
- Yes — go straight to the table above and select your kit
- No — find the data plate, read off the model number, and if you're still unsure, send us a photo
-
Only replacing one decal, not the full set?
- Yes — check the individual decals table above
- No — order the full kit for your model

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need the full kit, or can I buy individual decals?
Both are available. Full kits are the more cost-effective route if your machine has several missing or damaged labels. If you only need one or two — for example a single hazard decal that's peeled off — the individual decals listed above cover the most commonly requested labels.
How do I know which JCB scissor lift model I have?
Check the data plate on the chassis, control box or guardrail frame. If you can't locate it or aren't sure how to read it, send us a photo and we'll confirm the model and correct kit for you.
Can you identify my kit from the serial number alone?
Yes — the serial number confirms the exact production build, which matters on models where JCB has made running changes to the decal specification. Send us a photo of the data plate and we'll match it for you.
Will these decals match the originals?
Yes — our JCB decal kits are produced to match the original factory specification for content, layout, colour and material, using durable vinyl designed to withstand outdoor use and regular cleaning.
How quickly can I get a JCB decal kit delivered?
Most kits are held in stock for despatch within 1–3 working days, with UK delivery typically taking 2–5 working days after despatch. Order before 3pm for same-day despatch on in-stock items.
Still Not Sure?
Still unsure which JCB decal kit you need? Send us a photo of your machine or data plate and we'll identify the correct kit before you order — it's often quicker than trying to match it up yourself.
