How do JCB Tracked Excavators ensure stability and mobility on uneven terrain?
JCB tracked excavators use a wide, low-centre-of-gravity undercarriage and heavy-duty steel tracks to deliver outstanding stability on soft, uneven, or loose ground. The track design spreads the machine’s weight over a larger surface area, reducing ground pressure and improving traction. Advanced hydraulic systems, auto-track tensioning, and well-balanced upper structures further enhance control and mobility, even in demanding conditions such as slopes, clay, sand and rough terrain.
What is the operating weight and digging depth capabilities of JCB's Tracked Excavator range?
JCB’s tracked excavator range has a wide variety of sizes to suit different job requirements.
- Operating weight: typically, 13 (JCB 131X) to 37 (JCB 370X) tonnes, depending on the model and attachments used
- Digging depth: generally, 6 to 7m, with some models offering even deeper reach with long-reach or heavy-duty boom configurations.
For exact specifications, Scot JCB can provide detailed product sheets or arrange a demonstration of the model you're considering.
What size tracked excavator do I need and how do I choose the right model?
The right size depends on the type of work you do, the site conditions, and the performance you require.
- JCB 131X to 150X models suit utilities, construction and general groundwork.
- JCB 220X model provides extra power for earthmoving, infrastructure and heavy digging.
- JCB 370X excavators are ideal for quarries, large construction sites, demolition, and demanding production work.
Key factors to consider include digging depth, lifting capacity, site access, ground conditions, and the attachments you plan to use. The Scot JCB team can help assess your application and recommend the most suitable model.
What are the advantages of a tracked excavator over a wheeled excavator?
Tracked excavators offer several benefits when working on challenging ground conditions:
- Superior stability on uneven, steep or soft terrain
- Higher digging and lifting performance due to enhanced traction
- Lower ground pressure, reducing the risk of sinking or damaging surfaces
- More durable undercarriage for heavy-duty applications
- Ideal for off-road or unprepared sites where mobility is limited
While wheeled excavators excel in urban and road-based environments, tracked excavators are the preferred choice for most construction, earthmoving and quarrying operations.
What working modes, attachments and features should I look for in a tracked excavator?
To get the best performance and efficiency, look for features that match your tasks:
Working Modes
- Eco mode for fuel savings
- Power mode for maximum digging capability
- Lifting mode for precision and stability during heavy lifts
Attachments
- Digging and grading buckets
- Hydraulic breakers
