JCB JS220XD CRAWLER EXCAVATOR

Technical Description

The JCB JS220XD is a mid-size tracked excavator engineered for demanding excavation and construction applications. This robust machine features a powerful BB-6BGIT engine producing 138 horsepower, delivering 77.7 gallons per minute of hydraulic flow at a system relief pressure of 4974.8 psi. The excavator achieves a maximum digging depth of 21.7 feet and extends to 31.8 feet along the ground, making it highly versatile for trench work and material handling operations. Weighing 50,858 pounds (23,069 kg), the JS220XD demonstrates substantial operational capacity while maintaining maneuverability through its 9.81-foot track width and 12.1-foot ground contact length. The cab reaches a height of 10.38 feet, providing operators with excellent visibility and control from the comfortable operator station. The undercarriage utilizes a fully-welded X-frame construction for exceptional durability and stress resistance during demanding applications. The machine incorporates advanced hydraulic systems with a 24-volt electrical system supported by a 40-amp alternator, ensuring reliable operation across extended work cycles. The 23.7-inch track shoes and 7.85-foot track gauge configuration optimize ground pressure distribution and traction across varied terrain types. With a tail swing radius of 9.5 feet and removal counterweight clearance of 3.5 feet, the excavator maintains workspace efficiency in confined job sites. The JS220XD's engineering combines high-strength steel boom and arm construction with responsive hydraulic controls, making it ideal for utility contractors, landscaping operations, and general excavation work requiring reliable mid-size performance.
