Major Excavator-Line Expansion

JCB first introduced its "Auto" range of hydraulic excavators in 2003 and is now expanding this lineup with five new crawler models. Included in this launch are the JS330 Auto, JS190 Auto, JS145 Auto, JS130LC Auto, JS115 Auto and JS175W (wheeled) Auto. The models vary in operating weight from 33 to 11.5 metric tons, and in horsepower ratings from 285 to 90. All machines come equipped with an in-cab joystick pattern changeover to choose either excavator or backhoe pattern.
