JCB Australia has introduced the JS200LC excavator, a long-carriage version of the popular JS200SC model
- New reinforced boom and dipper
- Hydraulic regeneration system recycles oil across the cylinders
- JCB Dieselmax engine can reduce fuel use by up to 10 percent
JCB CEA says the new JS200LC long carriage excavator is durable enough to handle a range of jobs thanks to JCB’s in-house manufacturing and assembly processes.
“This machine has been put through extensive rig and endurance testing to make its key components last longer,” JCB CEA national product manager Deon Cope says.
“The JS200LC comes with a new reinforced boom and dipper made from high tensile strength steel, three-piece wrapper plates and cast ends. The result is a very resilient machine.
“The high-strength undercarriage of the machine uses a fully-welded X-frame construction for lasting durability and resilience in even the most demanding applications,” Cope adds.
The JCB JS200LC excavator is fitted with a 129kW Tier 4 JCB Dieselmax engine, which the company says can reduce fuel use by up to 10 percent over Tier 3 units.
“The excavator is also equipped with JCB’s innovative hydraulic regeneration system, which recycles oil across the cylinders for faster cycle times and reduced fuel consumption,” Cope says.
Operator safety, comfort and visibility have been improved in the cab and the company says work has been done to reduce noise levels for operators.
“When it comes to operator comfort, you can expect a quiet cab thanks to reduced noise levels inside and outside the machine,” Cope continues.
“There is also a large laminated roof window that gives optimum visibility if working at height.
“The JS200LC is durable, versatile and resilient, offering easy serviceability, making it the perfect choice for demanding environments and applications.”
