JCB 245XR Tracked Excavator

Description

INTRODUCING THE NEW JCB 245XR.

The latest addition to the highly acclaimed JCB X Series.

Our engineering teams have once again produced a new world-class excavator. An excavator that boasts a reduced slewing radius, without any compromise on cab space or performance. The result is another machine in the X SERIES to be taken seriously.

Tracked Excavator with Reduced Tailswing

The 245XR has reduced tailswing which maximises its potential to perform safely in tight and congested environments such as modern highways and housing developments.

• The 245XR tracked excavator has a tailswing radius of 1.72m, 40% less than the 220X, allowing it to work safely against buildings and road barriers.
• The short front swing and reduced tailswing give a working radius reduction of 1.6m, compared to the 220X.
• It can work in a smaller area than the 220X, providing great comfort and power in a compact footprint.

JCB 245XR Specs and Features

Despite having reduced tailswing, the 245xr features the JCB CommandPlus Cab, one of the biggest, most comfortable and easy-to-operate cabs on the market.

• Customer-led control layout, with operator feedback contributing to the design.
• Double cushion viscous mounts reduce vibration and cab noise to 69dB(A).
• Seat-mounted joystick and switch controls move with the operator.
• Bluetooth radio is fully integrated into the control screen.
