JCB 18z-1 Mini Excavator

JCB’s 18Z – 1.7 tonne zero tail swing mini excavator is industry leading for durability, performance, balance, stability, low cost of ownership and safety. It sets new levels of expectations for operators and owners for the simple functions of reach, dig, shift and drop.

Features:
- Full width rear cast counterweight gives full protection against site damage.
- 10 integral 18Z-1 tie-down points make transportation easier without damaging tracks
- 180° opening bi-fold service door to access all cleaning and maintenance points with a separate, daily checks door.
- The transport weights on the 18Z-1 allow the machines to be easily towed to wherever they’re needed making them very versatile.
- Hydraulics that give operators the capability to simultaneously multi-task any combination of excavator functions smoothly and with full hydraulic power means less time to complete the job.

JCB’s unique “2Go” risk mitigation hydraulic isolation system prevents excavator operation through unintended control lever movements. The operator must make 2 deliberate and separate inputs before the controls are functional.

Quick, safe and easy access on and off the operators platform is aided with hand rails that provide the operator with the all-important 3 points of contact and once seated, the seat belt is available to strap in and complete the safety loop.

The 2-Post canopy structure is ROPS, TOPS and FOGS certified. Increased all-round visibility to work site from the operator’s seat is a stand out feature on the 18Z with the 2-Post canopy.
