JCB’s new 25Z-1 mini-excavator is set to make an impact with its string of improved features that help maximise performance while prioritising safety.
The all-new Generation Stage V 25Z-1 JCB mini-excavator with zero tailswing configuration is designed with durability, reliability and towability in mind.
This model is built for easy, safe manoeuvrability – allowing operators to work and load in confined spaces with ease.
Plus, you can rest assured that the 25Z-1 is fully optimised for safe towing in 3500kg restricted regions.
And even better, it carries the premium quality, reliability and performance you’d expect from JCB.
The machine is a tough performer for many reasons.
Tough to beat for performance
The 2.5t 25Z-1 mini excavator is powered by performance enhancements across the hydraulics, tracking, attachments and above all, the brand-new Kohler engine.
The new Stage V Kohler 18.4 kW engine reduces fuel consumption by 5 per cent, maximising excavation and lifting duties with low noise, vibration and fuel usage.
Auto kickdown track motors adapt to changes in terrain, enhancing productivity and keeping operators focused for longer.
High and low flow pipework is available to suit an array of hydraulic attachments, as is optional bolt-on counterweights to improve stability and lift performance.
Tough to beat for safety
A leading name in safety, JCB machines can be relied on for on-site protection – and this new mini-excavator is no exception.
The 25Z-1 comes with key features as standard, including Follow-Me-Home worklights and the 2GO System, unique to JCB.
The model has a low transport weight of up to 2563kg, so the 25Z-1 can be safely towed in regions with the restriction of 3500kg.
There are nine ergonomically located tie-down points across the compact design, making towing even safer and easier.
As well, a new display screen highlights any issues before operation begins and communicates essential diagnostics, keeping users a step ahead of any downtime.
As an added security measure, a key or pinpad immobiliser prevents unauthorised use of the machine.
Tough to beat for ease of use and comfort
Several intuitive touches have been incorporated to make the 25Z-1 even simpler to operate.
The wide-opening steel bonnet and external filler enables easy fuelling and daily checks.
A hydraulic quick hitch allows for changes between a large variety of compatible attachments, offering the ultimate flexibility.
Meanwhile, the fully adjustable suspension seat and large cab ensures all-day operator comfort.
And auto machine health checks ensure the machine is in full working order at the start of each day.
Tough to beat for cost of ownership
Now more than ever, rental companies need to know that their equipment will deliver a solid return on investment.
Built into these mini-excavators is a series of features designed to keep running costs as low as possible, making the 25Z-1 a long-term cost- effective choice.
For instance, colour-coded hydraulic hoses are routed through the boom, keeping them away from potential damage.
There are best-in-class 500-hour greasing intervals thanks to graphite impregnated bronze brushes, saving time and money.
Auto stop and idle functions save fuel by turning off the engine when controls are inactive, while load sensing hydraulics conserve power by using it only on demand.
Externally, flat glass windows are used to minimise replacement costs in the event of damage.
Tough to beat for durability
Mini-excavators work in some of the toughest environments out there, so durability is vital to every machine.
The JCB mini-excavator range is designed with this in mind, so owners can be sure the machines will withstand the challenges of any site.
The robot welded boom and dipper are made from high tensile strength steel with internal baffle plates, delivering a great strength-to- weight ratio.
The 100 per cent pressed steel bodywork makes panels strong and easy to repair.
Other structural features include the cab door sitting within the counterweight length when folded back to protect from damage, while optional dig-end ram guards prevent accidental damage during operation.
