Key Features of JCB Wheeled Excavators

Durability and Build Quality 

Built with high-strength steel and reinforced at critical stress points, JCB wheeled excavators are designed to endure heavy loads and harsh conditions. Advanced manufacturing processes ensure high-quality components, extending the machine's lifespan and reducing downtime on site.

Advanced Technology 

JCB wheeled excavators feature cutting-edge variable flow hydraulics that adjusts power based on the task, optimising fuel efficiency and minimising wear. High-performance pumps and valves deliver smooth, responsive control, allowing operators to handle complex manoeuvres like fine grading and heavy lifting with precision.

JCB’s LiveLink technology enables remote monitoring of machine performance, health, and location, enhancing operational efficiency and reducing maintenance costs.

Fuel Efficiency 

JCB wheeled excavators have Stage V engines, which reduces fuel usage and emissions while delivering power. Auto-idle and engine stop automatically lower engine speed or shut off the engine during periods of inactivity, further reducing fuel wastage and operational costs.
