Description

JCB’S NEWEST ELECTRIC MICRO EXCAVATOR

The JCB 8008E CTS Micro Excavator offers both power and precision for projects in small spaces.

Whether you’re working inside a building or in a rear garden, the minimal tailswing of this electric compact excavator means you can get the job done, no problem. You’ll have no problems with air and noise pollution either, as the electric powered excavator delivers zero emissions and is 9dB quieter than its diesel equivalent.

Perfect for urban areas, indoor working, and other challenging spaces.

TOUGH TO BEAT ON PERFORMANCE

As with any JCB electric excavator, performance is paramount with the 8008E CTS, with features designed to reduce time and labour-intensity for challenging excavation work.

  • Uninterrupted digging with 2 x 4.8 kW batteries store enough power for 4.5 hours of continuous use – that’s equivalent to a full day of typical work.
  • A 9.3 kN bucket and 4.6 kN dipper tearout delivers powerful digging forces.
  • Adapt your machine to your surroundings with an extending undercarriage for greater stability, and a tubular boom to keep weight down and provide protection for hoses.
  • Thanks to lower noise levels of just 84 dB, this electric micro digger is ideal for working indoors, out of hours, and in urban areas – helping to ensure maximum productivity.

TOUGH TO BEAT ON EASE OF USE

When working in a tight spot, you want an electric excavator that gives you the freedom of working with ease. From easy access to indoor work areas, to easy transition between tasks, it’s easy to see the benefits of the 8008E CTS:

  • Compatible with a range of attachments, this electric JCB excavator can handle multiple applications in compact spaces.
  • The micro electric excavator has minimal tailswing and a machine width of 700mm allowing you to fit through an average doorway : perfect for use indoors, in rear gardens, or against walls.
  • Trailer towable alongside a HTD5-E and three buckets, for fast and easy transportation between sites.
  • With battery charge percentage instantly visible on startup and two charging options (110V and 230V), charging is ultra-convenient, and ensures fast, easy redeployment of your machine.
  • All functions operate independently of each other inside the operator station, ensuring easy operation for professionals and novices alike.
  • Ergonomic controls for smooth operation and a comfortable driver experience

TOUGH TO BEAT ON SAFETY

It’s always safety first at JCB, and the 8008E CTS ensures both your team and the environment are prioritised at all times:

  • Our JCB E-TECH range is 100% zero-emission – and this machine is no exception. Helping to deliver cleaner air for you, and for future generations.
  • At just 84 dB, this electric excavator is 9 dB quieter than its diesel counterpart. From reducing operator fatigue to improving communication between surrounding members there are lots of reasons why this can help make sites safer and more productive.
  • With easy servicing, a fully certified foldable TOPS frame, lower vibration levels to reduce fatigue, and a blue light indicator for when the machine is live, operator safety is integral to all our electric excavators.

TOUGH TO BEAT ON DURABILITY

Compact size doesn’t have to mean compromise. Especially when the JCB brand is trusted around the world for building ultra-durable machines:

  • Designed for the toughest jobs. With long-lasting components such as the extending undercarriage legs, which are constructed from a 25mm-thick solid steel plate.
  • Full protection against site damage, thanks to the full-width rear cast counterweight.
  • All of the JCB 8008E CTS’s electrical circuits have undergone extensive testing, and every detail is checked and checked again to ensure it’s built to last.
  • 5-year manufacturer’s warranty on drivetrain batteries: For power you can count on.

TOUGH TO BEAT ON TCO

One major benefit of going electric with your excavators? The reduced total cost of ownership:

  • Save money with zero emissions: With no need for emission extraction or extra investment into additional equipment, you can make significant long-term savings.
  • Save money by going electric: Using a battery solution instead of a diesel engine means eliminating the cost of fuel, reduced daily checks, and fewer serviceable parts – saving you time as well as money.
  • Save money with maintenance-free batteries: Your two 4.8 kW batteries are maintenance-free and come with two charging options for maximum versatility and minimum downtime.
