For many years the workhorse of UK construction sites has been a 13T or 14T excavator. Capable of doing the vast majority of the work a modern building site needs. Only giving way to 20T and 36T excavators on larger earthmoving and deep drainage projects.
The JCB 145XR is a powerful yet compact 16T excavator capable of working in spaces previously occupied by 13T & 14T machines and with its reduced swing radius design its even capable of working in even tighter spaces.
This is a true game changer machine providing the power historically seen in 20T excavators in the footprint of a 13T machine.
As well as the increased power the 145XR is leading the way in lowering fuel consumption with an improved hydraulic system meaning the machine uses 10% less fuel than the previous model while being smoother to operate and gaining a 13% increase in tear out force.
Operators will also benefit from the new full size CommandPlus cab giving them one of the nicest workspaces currently available in the industry. 360 cameras also give the operator great visibility of the work area to help the operator work safely and efficiently.
