Technical Description

The JCB JS175W wheeled excavator is a robust and versatile machine designed for high productivity and durability in diverse excavation tasks. Powered by a JCB EcoMAX 448 TCA-99 turbocharged, water-cooled, 4-stroke, 6-cylinder diesel engine delivering 172 hp (128 kW) at 1950 rpm, it meets EPA Tier 4 interim and EU Stage IIIB standards. The machine weighs approximately 39,948 lbs and features a hydrostatic powershift transmission with two forward and two reverse gears, enabling a maximum travel speed of 18.7 mph (29 kph). The hydraulic system employs load-sensed twin variable flow piston pumps delivering up to 82.5 gpm with relief pressure of 4975 psi, ensuring efficient and responsive operation. The JS175W offers multiple boom and stick options, enabling maximum cutting heights from 29.9 ft to 31.8 ft, digging depths from 18.7 ft up to 21.2 ft, and maximum reach along ground up to 30.1 ft. The shipping dimensions range around 9.1 to 10.7 ft in height, with lengths near 27.2 to 27.8 ft. Ground clearance is 1.2 ft and the cab height is 10.5 ft. Axles provide oscillation of 17°, supporting stability on uneven terrain, with twin 10x20 or single 18Rx19.5 radial tires.
