 NEW GENERATION STRENGTH

Quality componentry.
6 Fold back your cab door and you’ll see that it fits
snugly within the counterweight length. This keeps it
out of harms way throughout the machine operation.

7 The hydraulic system boasts the latest industry

technology “O-Ring Face Seal” (ORFS) hydraulic

fittings, providing excellent sealing capabilities.

8 High quality 400mm rubber tracks with

interlocking links will perform in even the most
laborious applications. Specify our 400/550mm steel
tracks and you’ll find they’re pre-drilled to make it
easier to attach rubber pads. You can also opt for
dedicated Road Liner Pads (Bridgestone GeoGrip™),
which allow you to replace individual segments
should you require.

9 We only use trusted premium manufacturers

including Perkins engines, Nachi and Bosch-Rexroth
hydraulic components and Bridgestone tracks.

HIGH PRODUCTIVITY TO US
MEANS HAVING A COMFORTABLE

OUR NEW RANGE FOCUSES ON

COMFORT AND EASE OF USE,
MAKING OUR JCB A GREAT
PLACE TO WORK.

Comfort and control.

1 These mini’s have an even more spacious cab
than before, with storage galore; a phone tray,
stowage net and a cup holder. The whole area is
accessed easily and safely via a large door.

2 A radio, 12V phone charger, powerful heater

with window de-mister and a high performing

air conditioning system* with 8 vents completes 1
the picture.

3 The innovative new rotary controller and the easy

touch switches, have been thoughtfully designed for

operational ease of use.

4 With ergonomic electro-hydraulic dozer control

as standard, operators can achieve smooth and

precise grading control.

5 You can alternate quickly between single and

double-acting auxiliary flow thanks to a convenient

switch in the cab. 2 3 4

*Air conditioning optional.

 NEW GENERATION CONTROL

Superior instrumentation. The switch panel and monitor are fitted with
clearly identifiable, easy touch buttons.
6 The new machines now have the latest industry
technology of digital screens available in the operating
station. With a simple user interface, customisable
home screen and specific diagnostic information,
you are sure to find it a helping hand at work.
7 For increased safety, there is a Thatcham
approved immobiliser*, eliminating the possibility of
an unauthorised start. Having the software system
Livelink and Datatag* on the minis, will allow you 7

to set a geofence and machine working restrictions.

A key benefit of the Livelink and immobiliser

combination is the remote pin code management
system, which allows you to remotely authorise or
deny the usage of the machine. Up to 14 individual
pin codes can be programmed into the system,
offering the option to customise operator preferences
by embedding a separate auxiliary mode in each code.

8 You can easily adjust and programme flow settings

for specific attachments, with a built in memory to 8

store your settings so that they can be easily retrieved
between jobs.

Information such as service and machine diagnostics

help the operator to keep on top of the status of
the machine. Alerts and service interval countdowns
will keep you up to date, and always one step ahead
of the possibility of downtime.

9 Live readings of fuel consumption gives the

operator an idea as to how the machine is
performing at any stage of application.

Hydraulic innovation.
4 A premium closed centre hydraulic system
provides improved flow sharing for smooth, precise
and balanced operation during multi-functioning.

5 The programmable twin auxiliary lines provide

high and optional low hydraulic flows to operate

an array of attachments, increasing the machines
versatility. Both auxiliary lines are electrically
proportional controlled and fully adjustable for
optimum attachment control.

6 The optional 4-way dozer can be angled right

and left which, combined with the dozer float

function makes levelling and backfilling work
incredibly easy, even on inclines and uneven terrain.

Versatility attached.
7 You can now choose from a range of JCB’s eco
buckets, designed with fuel saving in mind. Our
attachments provide ultimate performance, full JCB
warranty compliance and optimum fit and operation. 4

8 Our fully CE marked, factory-fitted hydraulic

quickhitch is an option to add to your machine,

which is an increased benefit for changing
attachments quicker.

A tilt rotate ready installation is optional, for increased

productivity and versatility.

Our hydraulic hitch is capable of picking up a range

of bucket pin centres, making it compatible with
your existing fleet of attachments from most
excavator manufacturers in this weight class. 6 7 8

NEW GENERATION SAFETY.

OUR NEW MINI EXCAVATORS OFFER SAFETY AS FIRST

PRIORITY, TO THE OWNER, OPERATOR, BYSTANDERS AND
THE MACHINE ITSELF. WITH MAXIMUM SAFETY, DOWNTIME
IS MINIMISED THANKS TO OUR NEW DEVELOPMENTS. 1

Maximum protection.
1 The new compact excavators cabs are fully ROPS
and TOPS compliant, for increased protection to the
cab and operator, opt for the impact protection glass
on the new machine.

2 JCB’s safety lever lock fully isolates hydraulic

functions to prevent unintended movement.

3 Our unique 2GO system ensures your mini

excavator hydraulics can only be operated in a safe

lockable position via two separate inputs. 4

As an optional safety feature, hydraulics can only be

activated when the operator is seated and the
seatbelt is worn.

4 Optional (territory dependent) boom, dozer and

dipper hose burst check valves (HBCVs) with an

overload screen display makes operation safer.

5 Overload screen displays a bar chart from green

to red to indicate if the overload point is close or has
been passed. Once passed, the buzzer sounds and
the bar flashes to warn the operator. 1 2 3 5

 NEW GENERATION SAFETY

Safely does it.

6 Large track frame width and a low centre of

gravity helps to ensure that stability is maximised

on the machines.

7 Standard boom and optional worklight guards

offer greater protection for vulnerable components
in hazardous applications.

8 Optional LED lights accommodate the ‘follow

me home’ function. When selected, the lights will

remain on for 3 minutes even when the machine is
switched off, illuminating the area and allowing the
operator to get off the work site safely.

9 These machines offer greater visibility than our

outgoing models, thanks in part to a 70/30 front screen

split; for easy, safe trench digging and manoeuvring.

Lift capacity over front. Notes: 1. Lifting capacities are based on ISO 10567, that is: 75% of minimum tipping load or 87% of hydraulic lift capacity, whichever is the less. Lifting capacities marked* are based on hydraulic capacity.
2. Lift capacities assume that the machine is on firm level ground and equipped with an approved lifting point.
3. A bucket must be fitted when lifting, the weight of this bucket must be deducted from the above lift capacities.
Lift capacity full circle. 4. Lift capacities may be limited by local regulations. Please refer to your dealer.
