JCB Wheel Loaders, Compact Excavators Awarded for Low Cost of Ownership
(PRWEB) November 15, 2017 -- The JCB 407 wheel loader and JCB 8018 compact excavator have received EquipmentWatch 2017-2018 Lowest Cost of Ownership Awards. The awards recognize the JCB 407 and the JCB 8018 as the most cost-efficient machines, within their respective construction equipment product categories, to own and operate over a five-year period.
The JCB 407 received the Lowest Cost of Ownership Award in the small wheel loader category. The JCB 407 is a highly productive compact wheel loader with a full-turn tipping load of 7,334 lb and a hinge pin height of of 10 feet 3 inches. The machine is powered by an efficient 64 hp (48 kW) JCB Diesel by Kohler engine that requires no replaceable diesel particulate filter (DPF) or productivity-sapping engine regeneration. High-quality driveline components, from proven suppliers including DANA and Bosch, further contribute to the JCB 407’s exceptional reliability, low maintenance costs and strong residual values. More information about the JCB 407 is available at: https://www.jcb.com/en-us/products/wheel-loaders/407.
The JCB 8018 won the Lowest Cost of Ownership Award in the compact excavator category. With bucket breakout force of 3,642 lbf, maximum dump height of 9 feet 4 inches and maximum dig depth of 10 feet 1 inch, the JCB 8018 compact excavator delivers class-leading performance. Operating costs are reduced by way of the JCB 8018's robust build quality and simplified maintenance procedures, and its ability to deliver maximum torque at low engine speeds for reduced fuel consumption. An available hand-held hydraulic circuit also boosts machine utilization by powering a wide range of attachments such as cutters, augers and breakers.
