What Makes the JCB 145XR Different? Key Features Explained

Introducing the JCB 145XR with its reduced tail-swing design, built to deliver powerful performance while working efficiently in tighter spaces. As part of the JCB X-Series range, this excavator is designed with fuel efficiency in mind, using up to 10% less fuel than previous models.

One of the biggest advantages is its ability to work efficiently in confined areas where larger excavators would struggle. The machine features a reduced tail-swing design, meaning the rear of the excavator stays much closer to the tracks when the cab rotates. This greatly reduces the risk of the counterweight hitting nearby structures, vehicles, or barriers when slewing.

Despite the improved fuel economy, performance is never compromised. The machine maintains excellent digging power and smooth operation thanks to an optimised hydraulic system, ensuring operators can work productively while keeping running costs lower.

Full 360 degree camera system set up. With twin HD camera's fully integrated into the 10 inch JCB UX display. Designed for all round convenience, comfort, efficiency and control. Easy to connect phone sync system.

Anti-slip treadplates and positioned grab handles to ensure the operator cab safely access the upper structure of the machine. Auto engine idle feature reduces fuel use when controls are inactive.
