A powerful Tier II engine with standard auto-idle, auto shift and power boost deliver excellent fuel efficiency. The JCB Smart Hydraulics system enables you to dig faster, lift heavier loads and work longer. These machines are equipped with a Tier II JCB Dieselmax engine with a three-year, 3000 hour warranty as standard. JCB’s exclusive backhoe stabilizer design allows for optimum stability in all digging situations. An impressive 40-foot (12 meter) dig depth means less repositioning, less trucking and more productivity.

JCB 150X excavators-It delivers fast cycle times and impressive power-to-weight ratio.

The JCB 150X excavator is a compact, powerful, low-maintenance machine for those who use their machines for both on and off-road applications. The JCB 150X has outstanding power-to-weight ratio and a fast cycle time of less than 18 seconds with a top speed of 3.2 km/h (2 mph).

The JCB 150X features an optimized wheel design with large, 135 mm diameter wheels which help the machine achieve excellent maneuverability in tight spaces. The machine has been engineered to deliver best in class performance by minimizing weight and contributing to its exceptional power-to-weight ratio. It is built for high productivity with a total weight that is up to 1.4 times lighter than its closest competitor. A compact design gives the operator a comfortable work position from which to operate the machine.

The JCB 150X also provides operators with the latest technology including an integral cab designed to reduce driver fatigue and improve ergonomics during long working hours. The hydraulic controls are positioned close to the operator so they can be operated while wearing heavy duty gloves or even while wearing heavy duty coveralls.

JCB 150X excavators-The cab is ergonomically designed for all day comfort.

A new generation cab design has been created to help JCB’s customers work more effectively and comfortably. The cab is ergonomically designed for all day comfort, with an industry leading visibility package and a fully adjustable seat with air suspension that also incorporates a heater and air conditioning system. The key operating controls are placed in the most efficient position for the operator, including the gear selector lever, armrest mounted proportional control levers and joystick.

An optional rear camera is offered for use when reversing or when using attachments that interfere with rear visibility.

The standard instrumentation package includes a digital display of fuel level, coolant temperature, engine speed and engine oil pressure; analogue gauges for travel speed and hydraulic oil temperature; plus warning lights for parking brake applied, battery charge, air cleaner blockage and transmission oil temperature.

JCB 150X excavators-The JCB 150X excavator may be our smallest crawler excavator but it’s packed full of features you’d expect from a much larger machine.

The JCB 150X is a light-duty excavator, ideal for use in construction and civil engineering projects. It’s powered by a powerful Cummins engine, with a maximum speed of 27km/h and a maximum digging depth of 1.5m.

The 150X is available in two optional equipment levels: Standard and Advanced, which differ in the level of machine control they offer, as well as in the electric drive system’s power output. The main differences are between the standard version’s hydraulic controls and the Advanced version’s conventional mechanical controls.

The JCB 150X excavator also comes with a host of other features that make it suitable for a variety of construction sites, including hydraulic lifting systems (one per axle) for moving loads up to 20 tonnes, angled drilling attachments for accessing areas too narrow to reach with conventional bucket drilling machines, and variable-speed motors on the front axle to optimize the machine’s performance depending on how much work you want it to do.
