JCB JS180 Tracked Excavators

A COMFORTABLE FAVOURITE

We've designed JCB JS180 tracked excavators to be comfortable, safe, ergonomic, simple and intuitive to operate. Which is good for operators of 360 excavators but even better for you; after all, great ease of use equals great productivity.

Cushioned boom and dipper ends prevent shock loadings, protect your machine and increase operator comfort, while 6 viscous rubber mounts minimise noise and vibration.

Because it doesn't require a bulky after-treatment like DPF, the new compact EcoMAX Stage IV/T4F engine can be housed under an innovative low-level bonnet, providing excellent rearward visibility.

A 70/30 front screen split for a clear view of the front right track, plus a large laminated glass roof window provide this 19 tonne excavator with exceptional all-round visibility.

To keep everything under control, JCB JS180 tracked excavators have a balanced slew and electronic/hydraulic controlled slew braking.

An easy to read 7" colour multi-function display provides instant operational information and has customisable home screens.

LESS SERVICING, MORE SERVICE

We've designed JCB JS180 tracked excavators to be low maintenance and easily serviceable. Which makes them affordable, efficient and highly productive.

By using graphite impregnated bronze bushes on the JS180, we've increased boom and dipper greasing intervals to 1,000 hours for normal applications.

JCB’s In-Cab Monitor checks engine oil levels, coolant, and system errors on start-up. 

Unlike most Stage IV/T4F engines, JCB EcoMAX doesn't use a Diesel Particulate Filter (DPF), saving you additional servicing and running costs.

Our innovative recalibration option allows EcoMAX to run on lower grade fuels. This means the JS180 can be resold across different territories, which improves residuals.

MAXIMUM PRODUCTIVITY, MINIMUM SPEND

Saving money and time is more important than ever, so we've made sure the JCB JS180 componentry – including the ecomax Stage IV/T4Fengine – works in perfect harmony. in turn, you get a machine that’s as efficient and productive as possible.

JCB’s EcoMAX T4i/Stage IIIB engine uses up to 10% less fuel than our Tier 3 units, saving you money. This is partly due to the fact that EcoMAX produces high torque at just 1500 –1600 rpm, making for improved fuel-efficient matching of the hydraulics.

There’s a massive 119kN bucket tearout for superb productivity, and the special JS range quickhitch system makes attachment changing fast and easy.

Simultaneous tracking and excavating is smooth and fast with an intuitive multifunction operation, and four operating work modes allow a JS180 19 tonne excavator operator to tailor performance to any application. Light, General, Heavy and Heavy+ power bands provide optimised settings for the job at hand.

STRENGTH INSIDE AND OUT

Before you buy tracked excavators, you need to know they’re going to be tough enough to perform any job you ask of it. Fortunately, with a JCB JS180, strength and durability come as standard.

We use Finite Element Analysis with extensive rig and endurance testing to make these 360 excavators last longer. A JCB JS180’s reinforced boom and dipper is made of high tensile strength steel, with single piecewrapper plates and internal baffle plates for long life durability.

The high-strength undercarriage of a JS180 19 tonne excavator is of a fully-welded X-frame construction for long-term durability even in the most demanding applications, and the rigid upper frame provides maximum durability and support.

The turret on JS180 tracked excavators is then welded to both the upper and lower undercarriage frames, and stiff, durable doors provide further strength.

THE SAFE CHOICE

The JS180 bonnet opens front-to-rear for easy and safe engine service access.

The cab can be specified with Rollover Protection Structure (ROPS) and Falling Objects Protection Structure (FOPS).

JCB JS180's have a large glass area and low bonnet line for superb visibility.

JCB’s 2GO system fully isolates hydraulic functions to avoid unintended machine movements.

There’s no need to climb onto the JS180 to check oil levels; all routine servicing can be done from ground level.

JCB’s Safety Level Lock fully isolates hydraulic functions to avoid unintended movements. Our New Start function means a JCB JS180 can only be started in a safe locked position via two separate inputs.
