JS385LC HD

A machine born from the heritage of JCB crawler excavators.

With a reliable 6-cylinder JCB engine with direct injection, turbocharged and common rail, combined with an advanced eco-hydraulic system and heavy-duty components, the new JS385LC HD is built to deliver maximum efficiency and productivity in the most demanding conditions.

Strength and durability

JCB excavators are built to last, and the JS385LC HD incorporates proven components and reinforced parts that offer greater reliability.

• Heavy-duty crawler undercarriage with reinforced guide areas.
• Reinforced boom and arm, manufactured with high tensile strength steel.
• Proven hydraulic components and filtration system, for greater durability.
• Reinforced heavy-duty buckets offer protection against wear and external impacts.

Productivity and efficiency

Performance comes standard with the new JS385LC HD. The large bucket capacity, excellent stability and powerful digging forces provide maximum productivity.

• The efficient JCB DIESELMAX engine delivers high torque at low speed to suit all jobs.
• The eco-hydraulic system includes 3 lifting modes and 4 digging modes, allowing the machine to adapt to all applications.
• Hammer lines come standard and make it easy to use the hydraulic hammer for greater versatility.
• An operating weight of 37.5 tons and a heavy-duty chassis provide greater stability and lifting capacity.

Comfort and ease of use

Its large cab with factory air conditioning and a luxury operator seat give you control of your working environment.

• The joysticks can move backward and forward together with the seat assembly, ensuring maximum comfort and fatigue-free work.
• The pressed steel cab has a large interior space, where the operator has enough legroom and headroom, allowing comfortable work all day long.
• Air conditioning and the comfortable luxury operator seat come standard.

Safety and ease of maintenance

The new JS385LC HD includes safety and ease-of-maintenance features that protect the machinery, operators and bystanders alike, and minimize downtime.

• The wide-opening steel hood and external fuel cap make refueling and daily checks easy and safe.
• Most maintenance items and daily checks are accessible from ground level, and the filters are grouped in the pump compartment so service can be carried out quickly and easily.
• Hydraulic oil changes every 5000 hours and the 1000-hour hydraulic filter reduce maintenance costs while increasing machine uptime.
• The advanced self-diagnostic system displays error codes and warning alerts in different colors to make maintenance easier.

Quality and reliability

The undercarriage, arm and boom are heavy-duty, and together with the best components in the industry, ensure a long service life and low maintenance cost.

• The heavy-duty reinforcement of the undercarriage, arms and boom provides durability and reliability in the most demanding applications.
• The common rail fuel injection system provides high power and low fuel consumption, while maximizing results.
• Proven high-quality Japanese hydraulic components ensure high reliability and long service life, reduce maintenance costs and increase machine uptime.
• Graphite-infused brushes on the boom pivot pins increase greasing intervals to 1000 hours, reducing maintenance costs and improving uptime.
