Technical Description
The 2024 JCB 3TS-8T Static Smooth Drum Roller features a robust 74 HP JCB EcoMAX engine that delivers powerful performance without requiring diesel exhaust fluid (DEF) or diesel particulate filters, enhancing longevity and reducing maintenance. It has an SAE operating weight of 12,615 lb and a fuel capacity of 27.3 gallons, optimized for extended operation. The machine incorporates a telescopic boom providing industry-leading reach and lift—reaching 13 feet 3 inches in height and an 8-foot forward reach—allowing digging to depths of up to 3 feet, unmatched in skid steer models.
With a track width of 18 inches and a ground clearance of 9.38 inches, the 3TS-8T offers excellent maneuverability on rough terrain. Its hydraulic system has a capacity of 14.6 gallons with a pump flow of 23.8 gallons per minute and main relief pressure of 3,335 psi, enabling strong breakout forces ranging from 2,798 lb to 4,660 lb and a rated operating capacity of 3,695 lb retracted. The loader lift extended force reaches 3,873.6 lb, and the shovel tilt extended force is 6,516.9 lb, supporting a standard shovel width of 72.84 inches.
The chassis features a high-strength steel telescopic Powerboom designed with fewer joints and stress points, mounted on a fully welded, single-piece frame for superior durability. Operator comfort is enhanced with a side-entry door, heated air suspension seat, and a cab height of 6.89 ft, offering 270-degree visibility. The roller’s overall width over tires is 6.57 ft, and its length without attachment is 9.91 ft, providing compact dimensions for versatile site access. Travel speed is up to 7.8 mph, facilitating efficient movement during operations. This combination of power, reach, durability, and operator-centric design makes the JCB 3TS-8T a highly capable static smooth drum roller for demanding construction and excavation tasks.
