JCB 25Z-1 mini excavator now available

JCB CEA is now offering both ROPS and cab versions of the JCB 25Z-1 mini excavator

The JCB 25Z-1 mini excavator is now available through JCB CEA in both ROPS and cab versions.

Weighing in at 2.5 tonnes, the 25Z-1 is a powerful yet compact mini excavator powered by a Stage V Kohler 18.4kW engine that has greater fuel efficiency and lower noise levels compared to previous models.

This makes it quieter and more comfortable for operators as well as others working on site.

Designed for easy transport, it has nine tie-down points. JCB’s 2GO System also isolates the hydraulic system to prevent any movement of the machine’s arm or bucket during transport.

Another innovative feature is the auto kickdown track motor, which adapts to changes in terrain.

“The motor’s power output can be adjusted to match the specific needs of the terrain on a variety of surfaces, including soft or muddy ground or hard and compacted surfaces,” JCB CEA general manager wholesale Greg Sealey says.

“The motor can deliver higher torque to ensure adequate traction, or prioritise speed over torque to increase productivity, and deliver operators a more comfortable working environment no matter the conditions.”

High and low flow pipework is available to suit an array of hydraulic attachments, as is optional bolt-on counterweights to improve stability and lift performance.

A new display screen communicates essential diagnostics, while a key or pinpad immobiliser prevents unauthorised access to the machine.

Built for operators

JCB has designed the 25Z-1 to be easy to maintain and operate with a wide-opening steel bonnet and external filler for easy fuelling and daily checks. A hydraulic quickhitch allows for quick attachment changes, while auto machine health checks highlights any issues quickly.

An adjustable suspension seat and large cab ensures all-day operator comfort, with the newly available cab version including air conditioning.

To prevent damage, colour-coded hydraulic hoses are routed through the boom, keeping them out of the way, while 500-hour greasing intervals help reduce maintenance costs.

Auto stop and idle functions save fuel by turning off the engine when controls are inactive, while load sensing hydraulics conserve power by using it only on demand.

Built for long days on the worksite, the JCB 25Z-1 mini excavator has a boom and dipper made from high tensile strength steel with internal baffle plates that deliver a high strength to weight ratio.

The 100 per cent pressed steel bodywork makes panels strong and easy to repair.

Other structural features include the cab door sitting within the counterweight length when folded back to protect from damage, while optional dig-end ram guards prevent accidental damage during operation.
