JCB JS220 CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The JCB JS220 is a robust 22-tonne tracked excavator engineered for demanding construction, demolition, and site preparation applications. Powered by a DIESELMAX turbocharged diesel engine producing 172 horsepower (128 kW) at 2000 RPM, this machine delivers efficient performance with high torque output at lower engine speeds, reducing fuel consumption by up to 10% compared to earlier Tier 3 units. The JS220 features a maximum digging depth of 21.7 feet and an impressive maximum reach along ground of 31.8 feet, with dig reach capabilities extending to 32.4 feet, making it exceptionally versatile for varied excavation tasks. Constructed with a fully-welded X-frame undercarriage and rigid upper frame, the JS220 demonstrates exceptional structural durability in demanding conditions. The reinforced boom and dipper arm are manufactured from high-tensile strength steel with three-piece wrapper plates and cast ends for superior strength. Operating at approximately 49,450 pounds, the machine achieves a bucket tearout force of 15,200 kilogram-force with bucket capacities ranging from 0.4 to 1.19 cubic meters. The hydraulic system incorporates JCB's innovative regeneration technology, recycling oil across cylinders for faster cycle times and improved fuel efficiency. Advanced operator comfort is ensured through a 7-inch color multi-function display, excellent front visibility with a 70/30 windscreen split, and multiple work modes including Auto, Precision, and Lifting modes. The JS220's fully hydrostatic three-speed track drive system with autoshift capability provides travel speeds up to 3.4 mph, while its hydraulically-operated brake system ensures reliable stopping power. Noise levels are reduced to 72 dB(A) inside and 103 dB(A) outside, enabling operation in sensitive environments.
