JS131 LC JCB excavator specs & Dimensions (2016 - 2017)

Security Benefits

Livelink's real-time geofencing alerts tell you when a machine moves out of its predetermined zone. Real-time location information helps you monitor and manage your fleet remotely. You can also create a virtual boundary around your machine. A clearer understanding of your machine's location improves efficiency and reduces downtime. Standard ECU features (pass Livelink with the immobiliser or ECU).

Productivity and Cost Benefits

By providing information like idle time and fuel consumption, JCB Livelink helps reduce your fuel usage. Machine location and maintenance data improve productivity. Additionally, machine monitoring enhances efficiency and perhaps even service. Insurance costs are also available.

Maintenance Benefits

Maintenance benefits are easy to manage. Livelink provides maintenance alerts and service records to help you manage your fleet. Accurate hours monitoring and service alerts improve maintenance planning. Furthermore, your fleet's service history records are also available.

Componentry

Our engine technology is tried and proven. We’ve built 200,000 DIESELMAX 444 engines since 2004. You can trust a JCB JS131’s EcoMAX engine to work in perfect harmony with our latest DPF-free engine technology, and because it doesn’t use exhaust after-treatment, it doesn’t need costly heat-resistant lube oils. JCB’s EcoMAX engines have been tested for 110,000 hours in 70 different machines across the toughest applications and environments. The JS131 uses the best components in the industry, including Berco running gear, Kawasaki pumps, Kayaba valve blocks and JCB EcoMAX engines.

The efficient excavator

JCB’s new EcoMAX T4F Stage IIIB/55 kW engine uses up to 10% less fuel than our Tier 3 units, saving you money. This is partly due to the fact that EcoMAX produces high torque at just 1200 rpm, and there’s no need for a diesel particulate filter (DPF), reducing servicing/operating costs. To reduce noise pollution from unnecessary air flow, a special fan control system maintains optimum fan speed.

Upping output.

Simultaneous tracking and excavating is smooth and fast with an intuitive multifunction operation. JCB’s innovative hydraulic regeneration system means oil is recycled across the cylinders for faster cycle times and reduced fuel consumption.

Easy does it.

The filter on JS131 is easily accessible and a double-element construction simplifies cleaning. The filters on JS131 engine oil, hydraulic oil and fuel are centrally located for fast, easy servicing. Because they’re mounted side by side, the JS131’s three hydraulic pumps and hydraulic cooler can be serviced individually yet cleaned easily.

Boom and dipper

A JCB JS131’s reinforced boom and dipper is made of high tensile strength steel, with single piece wrapper plates and internal baffle plates for long life durability. Our advanced manufacturing and assembly processes produce high precision and quality components.

Structural strength

The high-strength undercarriage of a JCB JS131 uses a fully welded X-frame construction for long-term durability even in the most demanding applications. A closed box section revolving frame increases strength and reduces stress. The JS131 high-strength rigid upper frame provides maximum durability and support. Our stiff, durable door design gives great strength and rigidity.

A comfortable favourite.

JCB excavators are designed around the operator. That’s good for them but even better for you. After all, great comfort and ease of use equals great productivity.

Visibly better.

A 70/30 front screen split for JCB JS131s excellent front visibility. A clear view of the front right track provides easy, safe trench digging. An innovative low-level bonnet provides excellent rearward visibility.

Comfortably in control.

The JCB JS131’s multifunctional display is easy to read and provides precise, detailed information to aid operation and has a customisable home screen.

The working environment.

The JCB JS131 creates a quieter working environment inside and out. The sound-reducing sealed cab uses 6 viscous rubber mounts to minimise noise and vibration. JCB’s positive-pressure cab keeps out dirt and dust. JCB’s climate control option offers a precisely controlled cab temperature with fresh air. Demisting/defrosting functions keep the front window clear. There’s a spacious luggage tray behind the operator’s seat. A large floor area with large high grip pedals gives easy and precise tracking.
