JCB Hydradig comes to Conexpo

JCB will show a full range of its machines for the construction industry including a North American debut for the ground-breaking JCB Hydradig 110W.

JCB Hydradig is a brand new tool-carrying solution, bringing innovation and engineering excellence to the growing compact wheeled machine sector of the market. The revolutionary machine – which will feature on static display and in a demonstration area - delivers on five important customer criteria, offering unparalleled visibility, stability, manoeuvrability, mobility and serviceability.

The new concept brings new levels of digging, lifting, loading and tool-carrying performance to urban construction, highway maintenance and municipal operations.

It delivers a number of ‘firsts’ in five key areas:

• Visibility - an unmatched operator view around the machine
• Stability - low centre of gravity to allow stable lifting and excellent travel speeds
• Mobility - achievable 25 mph (40kph) travel between job sites 
• Manoeuvrability – all-wheel steer delivers maximum urban usability
• Serviceability - ground level access to all maintenance points

The JCB Hydradig has a sturdy all-wheel drive, four-wheel steer chassis, based on JCB’s proven Loadall telescopic handler concept. This delivers three-mode steering for maximum manoeuvrability and stability when travelling at speed. For the North American market, it will be powered by the latest Tier 4 Final/EU Stage IV compliant JCB EcoMAX diesel engine, equipped with Selective Catalytic Reduction (SCR) and Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR).
