JCB brings the X Factor to Hillhead

Over a four-year development period, JCB has undertaken a programme of intensive component and product testing, to achieve increased levels of build quality and reliability for customers in this advanced new JCB 220X crawler excavator. The new machines feature a 15% larger cab with integral ROPS structure, reduced noise levels, simple user interface and stronger side doors for greater strength and increased protection. They also benefit from a central main boom mounting for increased digging accuracy and durability, and a 200mm wider upper structure which delivers improved packaging. Several variants of the machine will be shown across the JCB stand and demonstration area, including models with demolition specification, full Topcon functionality and Steelwrist fitted. The new X Series excavators will feature alongside a vast selection of further machines from the extensive JCB range.  These will include: the revolutionary JCB 7T-1 Front Tip Hi-Viz site dumper, pioneering Hydradig 110W, JCB Pilingmaster backhoe loader and series of additional models from its tracked excavator, wheeled excavator, wheeled loading shovel, site dumper, backhoe loader, generator, Loadall telescopic handler and compact equipment line-ups – all tailored to the demanding needs of the quarrying, demolition and recycling sectors.
