The JCB JS385LC HD Hydraulic Excavator is a heavy-duty 37.5-ton class machine engineered for maximum durability, efficiency, and performance in demanding construction, quarrying, mining, and civil engineering applications. It’s powered by a JCB Diesel ax 672 common rail turbocharged engine delivering 284 hp (212 kW) and 1,150 Nm torque at low rpm, paired with advanced Eco hydraulic systems, 3 lift modes, 4 digging modes, and a Power Boost function that increases hydraulic pressure by about 9% for enhanced digging and lifting performance. Built for rugged environments, it features a heavy-duty X frame undercarriage, reinforced boom and dipper arms, thick-track guides and rollers, and a reinforced idler area for exceptional reliability. Operator comfort is addressed with a six mount, air conditioned cab, large glazed panels for visibility, deluxe seating, and JCB’s Smart Control color monitor and Live Link telematics as standard. Maintenance is simplified with ground-level access to grouped filters, side-by-side coolers, and long service intervals—hydraulic filter changes every 1,000 h and hydraulic oil every 5,000 h. Equipped with hammer-ready piping and heavy-duty bucket options up to 2.3 m³, the JS385LC HD is built to tackle the toughest hard-rock and bulk excavation conditions.
