JCB JZ140

Power and Performance The JZ140 boasts the shortest tail swing around and a full-swing radius that is one of the best in its class. A 98 horsepower (72.8 kilowatts) Isuzu engine and best-in-class drawbar pull, means the JZ140 is able to travel however poor the ground conditions. Superb stability provides a higher lift capacity than you would expect from a zero tail swing machine in its class. Four selectable working modes link the operator's control movements with the engine and hydraulic systems to maximize productivity and efficiency. One- or two-way flow can be automatically selected so it is easier to switch between attachments. Comfort and Visibility The compact JZ140 features the same full size, comfortable cab as you would find on any other full size JCB excavator. Zero tail swing and a rounded form significantly improve visibility. Ergonomic design puts all controls within easy reach for effortless operation. AMS monitor, seat and joysticks are easily adjusted to suit any operator. Enhanced heating and air conditioning put climate control at your fingertips. Both upper and lower front screens slide easily overhead to avoid damage and provide unobstructed visibility. The in-cab pattern change switch allows the operator to easily choose between backhoe or excavator style controls. Reliability and Profit Zero tail swing, cast counterweight reduces risk of damage to superstructure. 1,000 hour greasing interval on boom-base and boom-to-dipper pins reduces service costs. Cushion control ensures smooth operation and reduced wear and tear on components. Isuzu engine and AMS move more material for less fuel. Easy to access, single engine oil filter cuts down on service time and cost. The JCB Plexus filter cleans the hydraulic oil to 1.5 microns, cutting down on dirt and condensation in the system. The oil also goes 5,000 hours between changes. Servicing intervals are increased, downtime is reduced and overall machine reliability enhanced. AMS - Simple but Intelligent The AMS controls all the machine's major functions for maximum productivity and fuel efficiency. It also alerts you the instant there is a problem and records all the machine's key operating data. It has four modes to suit the task at hand: Auto Mode: Automatically gives you maximum power, when you need it. Economy Mode: Designed for maximum fuel efficiency in normal digging conditions. Precision Mode: Gives you more control and accuracy for fine work and grading. Lifting Mode: Maximum power with controllability., Tracked Excavators, Excavators
