JCB 220X SC CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The JCB 220X SC is a compact tracked excavator engineered for demanding construction and excavation applications. Powered by a JCB EcoMAX Tier 4 Final/IV diesel engine, this machine delivers 173 net horsepower and 509 foot-pounds of torque at 1,500 rpm, providing robust performance across varied jobsite conditions. The 4-cylinder, 4-stroke, direct-injection turbocharged engine displaces 293 cubic inches and features advanced emissions control technology that eliminates the need for a diesel particulate filter, enabling a more compact design and improved operator visibility. The excavator's operating weight reaches 23,791 kilograms (52,450 pounds), with an overall height of 10.5 feet and track gauge of 7.2 feet, making it suitable for confined spaces while maintaining stability. The undercarriage spans 13.7 feet overall length with a track height of 34.9 inches and ground clearance of 1.6 feet. The hydraulic system incorporates large-diameter pipes and hoses for enhanced efficiency, coupled with auto-stop and auto-idle features that deliver fuel savings up to 5 percent. With maximum bucket tearout capacity exceeding 33,700 pounds force and fast cycle times, the 220X SC excels in productivity. The spacious CommandPlus cab provides operator comfort during extended shifts, while customizable proportional controls enable precise attachment operation. The boom float feature facilitates smooth grading and improved breaker efficiency, and a power boost button increases pressure by 10 percent for up to 9 seconds when additional tearout force is needed. This configuration represents an optimal balance of power, efficiency, and maneuverability for professional excavation contractors.
