Features

• NEW GENERATION STRENGTH: With a finite element analysis-designed heavy-duty structure as well as simplified H-frame construction, the undercarriage of this compact excavator is both durable and confidence inspiring. Our clean four-plate dipper design provides added structural strength and durability. The fully robot welded boom and dipper are made of high tensile strength steel, with internal baffle plates in the boom for long-life durability. The optional heavy-duty kingpost features durable re-bushable pivots to optimize service life. It also provides a safe route for all excavator hoses. The heavy duty boom cylinder guard and optional dipper and crowd ram guards give maximum excavator arm protection, even during the toughest jobs. We only use trusted premium manufacturers including Perkins engines, Nachi and Bosch-Rexroth hydraulic components and Bridgestone tracks. The hydraulic system boasts the latest industry technology “O-Ring Face Seal“ (ORFS) hydraulic fittings, providing excellent sealing capabilities.
• NEW GENERATION CONTROL: The JCB 55Z-1 compact excavator has an even more spacious cab than before, with storage galore, a phone tray, stowage net and a cup holder. The whole area is accessed easily and safely via a large door. Our deluxe fully adjustable suspension seating provides great comfort for excavator operators; our heated air suspension option, meanwhile, has independent adjustable positions for the ultimate in ergonomics. There‘s a radio, 12V phone charger and powerful heater with window de-mister. A high performing air conditioning system* with 8 vents completes the picture. You can alternate quickly between single and double-acting auxiliary flow thanks to a convenient switch in the cab. A key benefit of the Livelink and immobilizer combination is the remote pin code management system, which allows you to remotely authorize or deny the usage of the machine. Up to 14 individual pin codes can be programmed into the system, offering the option to customize operator preferences by embedding a separate auxiliary mode in each code. You can easily adjust and program flow settings for specific attachments, with a built in memory to store your settings so that they can be easily retrieved between jobs. Information such as service and machine diagnostics help the operator to keep on top of the status of the machine. Alerts and service interval countdowns will keep you up to date, and always one step ahead of the possibility of downtime. Live readings of fuel consumption give the operator an idea as to how the machine is performing at any stage of application. *Air conditioning optional.
• NEW GENERATION PERFORMANCE: The zero tailswing JCB 55Z-1 compact excavator is incredibly maneuverable even in the most confined spaces because there‘s no rear overhang outside the footprint of the tracks, boasting a Tier 4 Final no DPF engine. Tracking performance is smooth and precise, ensuring high dozer capabilities and fast travel times. To increase productivity, our auto kickdown motors automatically adapt to changes in terrain, increasing productivity and reducing operator fatigue. An overload screen displays a bar chart from green to red, indicating whether the overload point is close or exceeded. Once the limit is passed, the buzzer sounds and the bar flashes to warn the operator. The programmable twin auxiliary lines provide high and optional low hydraulic flows to operate an array of attachments, increasing your compact excavator's versatility. Both auxiliary lines are electrically proportionally controlled and fully adjustable for optimum attachment control.
• NEW GENERATION EFFICIENCY: Because damage sometimes happens on sites, we use flat glass windows throughout the new JCB 55Z-1 compact excavator, as well as 100% steel bodywork, minimizing possible replacement costs. With our class-leading greasing intervals of 500 hours, you can expect minimal downtime. Better still, our new monitor provides alerts on your excavator‘s diagnostic status. Engine revs reduce when the operator‘s armrest is raised, improving fuel economy and noise levels. There‘s a One-Touch Idle feature that conserves fuel too. Programmable auto idle, meanwhile, can be activated when the controls have been inactive for a period. Control your 55Z-1 compact excavator's engine speed for different hydraulic flows by simply cycling through four different power bands: Light, Eco, Heavy and Heavy Plus. This means you can tailor performance to any application. The patented low-pressure return line circuit further improves fuel efficiency because the pump doesn‘t need to overcome a very high pressure before work can start. Load-sensing hydraulics are standard-fit on this mini digger. This innovative feature means that your hydraulics only consume power on demand, conserving fuel for when you need it most.
