JS140 JCB excavator specs & Dimensions (2021 - 2026)

Componentry

The JS140 boasts the best components in the industry, including Kawasaki pumps, Cummins engine and Kayaba main control valves. IP67/69 compliant dust & water proof electrical connectors further enhance the reliability of JS140, even in extreme wet and dusty conditions.

High on Output & Fuel Efficiency

It's now more important than ever to save time and money; the JS140 has been designed to make the most of both. A bucket tearout of 9785kgf and a dipper tearout of 17404kgf means the JS140 can really get the job done quickly, even in very hard ground conditions. Excellent digging forces provide ease of operations in tough working conditions and firm ground. The JS140 comes with 3 power modes using a dial type throttle: Economy mode: lower fuel consumption at optimum output level. Power mode: increases engine speed for faster operations when higher output is required. Power+ mode: 6% more output over P mode. The proven and efficient Cummins engine is designed and developed to work in all climates around the world. The mechanical engine ensures maximum uptime by being better suited to lower quality fuel and air, making the JS140 reliable and durable.

Stability, hydraulics and attachments

JCB's innovative hydraulic regeneration system means oil is recycled across the cylinders for faster cycle times and reduced fuel consumption. For versatility, JCB offers auxiliary pipework for hammers. High swing speed of 13.6 rpm shortens the digging cycle time, thus increasing overall productivity. An operating weight of 14.6t offers increased machine stability while working in rough underfoot conditions. Auto Idler and One Touch idler function is a standard feature with the JS140. Improving fuel efficiency by reducing the engine speed when the machine is not at work for a set period of time, which can be customised.

Maintenance Features

The bushes fitted at both ends of the boom are infused with graphite which acts as a natural lubricant. This feature increases greasing interval to 1,000hrs, thus reducing maintenance costs and time. Additionally, the ‘JCB Eject’ turbine type air pre-cleaner filters dust particles to reduce clogging of the air filter, increasing its life and reducing maintenance costs.

Digital Display

The JS140’s 7 inch digital colour display hosts all the relevant, real time, information that will help the operator to maximise machine output and uptime.

Easy does it

Audio & instrument visual alerts for the following:Air-filter blockageLow coolant levelHigh hydraulic temperatureLow engine oil pressure. Radial seal on air filters provides error-free sealing on installation. Meanwhile, wire mesh elements make for easy storage, handling and cleaning. The JS140’s engine has an in-line direct injection mechanical fuel pump, making maintenance and reliability second to none.

Here to help.

The JS140’s special hydraulic filtrations system provides 5,000hrs of hydraulic oil life. Reducing maintenance costs and increases machine uptime.

Hydraulic filters

New high efficiency glass fibre return line filter ensures longer life of hydraulic components. The JS140 has the following hydraulic filters: Full flow return filter Drain filter Servo filter

Comfortably in control.

Hydraulic isolator lock lever with additional servo lock lever over-ride switch prevents unintended machine operation at site. Swing lock system prevents any unintended operations or mishaps on site. 2Go System: The servo isolator lock can be released only with two separate inputs. The engine will not start if the hydraulic isolator is not in the 'hydraulics off' position.

Boom and dipper

Boom and arm are made of high tensile steel that offers increased strength and longer life, even in the most arduous applications. Critical stress points have been reinforced, especially on either sides of the boom foot to ensure long life. Additional reinforcement plate and wear ribs on the arm bottom plates provides strength and protection from damage from tough applications.

Structural strength

Heavy duty X Type track frame offers increased reliability for longer hours. The track frame has been strengthened at the idler mounting area for increased strength while quarry working. Heavy duty track chain with enhanced strength to improve the life of the track links in arduous conditions. The JS140’s high-strength rigid upper frame provides maximum durability and support. A new 0.63Cum wider bucket (1040mm width) has been specifically designed for quarry, crusher applications and enhanced bucket life. Belly guard on the lower frame and undercovers on the upper frame protects the overall machine system.

Cab Construction and Comfort

The cab with pressed steel construction has a large internal space and increases overall visibility. The operator will have enough leg and head room to work all day in comfort. Ergonomically positioned controls along with reclining arm rests give the operator the utmost comfort. The bigger cabin is mounted on six viscous mounts to reduce vibration levels in uneven ground conditions. Top corner glass in the cabin provides excellent visibility when working at heights. The JS140 comes with a fully ducted air-conditioning unit to keep the operator comfortable in hot climate conditions.

Even more comfort.

A large floor area with large high grip pedals give easy and precise tracking. For better ventilation this cabin is equipped with a roof hatch, sliding rear window and removable lower front end glass. Anti-slip arrangement on machine covers offers safety to the operator.
