PRODUCTIVITY AND PERFORMANCE



With outstanding breakout and lift capabilities, a large stable undercarriage and a compact upper structure, the JS180LC is in a class of its own on construction sites.
Advanced Management System (AMS) consistently monitors operating functions for greater efficiency. Four operating modes allow output to be matched to operating conditions: H-mode for heavy digging; S-mode for general excavating; L-mode for light work needing precise control; F-mode for fine control and heavy lifting.
Powerful slew system means smooth operation of large loads even on steep inclines.
Power boost facility provides an instant 10% increase in tear out performance.
The load sensing system maintains the power demand on the engine at a constant level for efficient running.
RELIABLE AND DURABLE
Strong and durable X-frame undercarriage allows good ground clearance. Belly guards are fitted as standard to protect the hydraulic lines.
Large diameter slew ring is strong and reliable.
High quality hydraulic components ensure reliable performance.
Plexus filtration system lengthens the life of hydraulic components.
72kW (96hp) Isuzu engine provides powerful performance with renowned reliability. Twin engine filters allow longer intervals between engine services to minimise non-productive time.
OPERATOR ENVIRONMENT
The ergonomic design of the JCB Euro Cab sets new standards in operator comfort, ease of operation and all-round visibility.
Increased headroom, large windows and large easy access door create a more spacious feeling.
Easy to use short control levers have built-in selection of controls for fingertip access to auxiliary hydraulic circuits and the power boost facility.
Euro Cab provides an improved low noise working environment.
SERVICEABILITY
The Plexus hydraulic filtration system gives hydraulic filter change intervals of 1,000 hours and hydraulic oil change intervals of 5,000 hours.
Twin engine oil filters mean 500 hour engine oil and filter changes.
The self diagnostic system, with the computer self check facility, provides essential information for the service engineer.
Thoughtful layout of hydraulic components simplifies service access
