Another handy storage space can be found at the back of the cab in the roof liner, including a hanger for the operator’s helmet.

2. CUSTOM LIGHTING

Experience more control over lighting around the machine. Light packages with up to 14 LED work lights, which can be customized to suit site requirements. There is also optional service bay and access lighting available.

3. REDUCED OPERATOR CHECKS

Only two daily operator checks, all ground level. Only ten checks are required for a 500-hour service. The main hydraulic filter service interval extended to 2000 hours from 1000 hours.

4. LESS FILTER CHANGES

High-grade engine oil and new fuel filters only need to be changed after 500 hours. Increased uptime and reduced costs with 23% fewer filter changes.

5. JOYSTICK CONVIENCE KEY

Joystick and switch controls are mounted to pods that are suspended from the seat and move with the operator for optimum control and less fatigue. There is quick access to 1 of 10 functions such as radio or answering phone calls.

6. QUICK HITCH CROWD OVERRIDE

Change difficult attachments such as forks without crowding the hitch. Easy quick-hitch provides simplified operation with an override for removing large breakers or fork attachments.

7. CUSTOMIZABLE PROPORTIONAL CONTROLS

Advanced tool select system improves attachment handling by monitoring pressure and flow. Functions may vary dependent on machine options.

8. LIFTING MODE

The increased pressure and smoother hydraulics make for easier and more powerful lifting. Hydraulic pipes and hoses have a large diameter for increased productivity and efficiency. An innovative hydraulic regeneration system means oil is recycled across the cylinders for faster cycle times and reduced fuel consumption.

9. BUCKET HBCV

Factory fitted HBCVs means the machine is ready for lifting operations. Optional hose-burst check valve improves site safety.

10. ENGINE AUTO STOP

Automatic engine shutdown when controls are inactive. This saves fuel and reduces machine hours. Auto-stop and Auto-idle on the JCB’s EcoMAX Tier 4F / IV engine provide fuel savings of up to 5 percent. Contact us at 281-982-9030 to learn more.
