The JCB JS160W Wheeled Excavator is a durable and efficient 17-tonne class machine, ideal for road maintenance, utility work, and urban construction. Powered by a 4.8 L JCB DieselMax engine producing 130 hp (97 kW) and strong low-end torque, it features a Tier V compliant setup with auto idle and four selectable operating modes—Auto, Economy, Precision, and Lifting—allowing operators to match performance to the job. The load sensing hydraulic system delivers a 105 kN bucket tearout force and has a joystick mounted Power Boost for extra digging or lifting power.Built with heavy duty axles, stabilisers, a rigid upper frame, and a closed box section revolving frame, the JS160W is engineered for strength and resistance to impact. The operator's cabin emphasizes comfort and visibility, offering a 70/30 split windscreen, large glass roof window, cushioned boom/dipper ends, plus climate control and vibration damping mounts. Serviceability is also notable: gas assisted bonnets, ground level greasing points, 1,000 hour boom/dipper greasing, and 5,000 hour oil interval ensures minimal downtime.
