JS175W

It is designed for exceptional durability, productivity, efficiency, comfort, safety and ease of maintenance.

A closed box-section main frame increases strength and reduces stress. It also makes this excavator highly resistant to impact damage. We have also used strong parts, in fact, to premium standards in the industry.

Productivity and efficiency

Saving money and time is more important than ever, which is why the JCB JS175W wheeled excavator is designed to achieve the best of both.

• Our 128 kW JCB DieselMAX engine produces high torque at low revs for great efficiency.
• A bucket breakout force of 105 kN makes the JS175W excavator highly productive, and the JS range quick coupler system makes attachment changes quick and easy.
• Simultaneous movement and digging are smooth and fast with intuitive multifunction operation, and four working modes allow JS175W wheeled excavator operators to adapt performance to any application.

Operator comfort and safety

We have designed the JCB JS175W wheeled excavator to be comfortable, safe, ergonomic, simple and intuitive to operate.

• Amortized boom and bucket end stops prevent impacts during loading, protect your machine and increase operator comfort, while the 6 viscous rubber cab mounts minimize noise and vibration.
• A 70/30 split front screen for a clear forward view, plus a large laminated glass roof window, provide this wheeled excavator with exceptional visibility in all directions.
• The control switches are easy to reach, and include the heater and climate control panels, while the side unit also functions as an immobilizer code selector.

Strength

Before buying a wheeled excavator, you need to know it will be strong enough to do any job you ask of it. Fortunately, with a JCB JS175W, strength and durability come as standard.

• The reinforced boom and bucket of the JCB JS175W are made of high tensile steel, with one-piece bent plates and internal reinforcing plates for a long service life.
• The heavy-duty undercarriage of the 17.5 tonne JS175W wheeled excavators is a fully closed, fully welded box section for long-term durability, even in the most demanding applications. The superstructure also provides maximum durability and support.
• The swing bearing of a JS175W wheeled excavator is welded to the upper and lower undercarriage frames, and the rigid, durable doors provide greater strength.

Servicing

We have designed the JCB JS175W wheeled excavator to be low maintenance and easy to service. This makes it affordable, efficient and highly productive.

• The hoods open and close easily with gas-assisted cylinders, and the service doors are large and wide for good access.
• With boom and arm greasing intervals of 1000 hours, and a hydraulic oil service life of 5000 hours, they provide maximum uptime on this excavator.
• The grease points are also centralized on a JS175W excavator, for safe and easy access to the higher pins. Likewise the filters (engine oil, hydraulic oil and fuel).
