JCB 50Z Excavator

We offer Reduced and Zero tailswing configurations, but choosing the right one for you depends on your application. CTS and ZTS offer concern-free manoeuvrability –especially in confined spaces – because their rear overhang outside the tracks is eliminated (ZTS) or greatly reduced (CTS).

JCB’s boom swing & boom off-set feature enables the machine to operate very close to the wall/building without re-positioning the machine.

Powerful & fuel efficient Perkins 404D-22 engine; a quiet 2.2 litre unit delivering 48hp (35.7kW) at 2600 rpm and reduced operating cost in a small, efficient package. Also its low noise design enables higher adaptability in densely populated areas.

Tracking performance is smooth and precise, ensuring high dozer capabilities and fast travel times. To increase productivity, our auto kickdown motors automatically adapt to changes in terrain increasing productivity and reducing operator fatigue.

These machines produce dipper tearout forces of up to 29.0kN; combined with fast cycle times, this enables unrivalled productivity. By perfectly matching our boom and dipper, we’ve created optimal dig end geometry, helping you to work and load in confined areas with ease.

A premium closed centre hydraulic system provides improved flow sharing for smooth, precise and balanced operation during multi-functioning.

Programmable twin auxiliary lines provide high hydraulic flow to operate an array of attachments, increasing the machines versatility. Auxiliary lines are electrically proportional controlled and fully adjustable for optimum attachment control.

You can now choose from a range of buckets, designed with fuel saving in mind as per the applications. Our attachments provide ultimate performance.

Control your engine speed with four different power bands to easily toggle through and set to optimum hydraulic flows. This includes light, eco, heavy and heavy plus, all of which can be tailored to suit your application.

Activate ‘One-Touch-Idle’ by pressing the new rotary controller dial. Just another way of reducing engine revs quickly and conserving fuel. Our programmable auto idle can be activated between 2 and 30 seconds after the controls have been inactive, to offer increased fuel efficiencies.

Our below idle feature means that engine revs are reduced even further when the operator’s armrest is raised. Fuel economy and noise levels are both improved.

The patented low pressure return line circuit further improves fuel efficiency, because the pump does not need to overcome as high a pressure before any work can be done.

These minis have an excellent operator comfort with suspension seat, face fan, storage galore, a phone tray, stowage net, 12V phone charger, USB port and a cup holder. The whole area is accessed easily and safely via a large door.

Innovative new rotary dial type throttle control for easy & precise engine speed control. Easy touch switches have been thoughtfully designed for operational ease of use.

Joystick controlled boom swing & auxiliary circuit for better control of dig end and attachment in confined job sites.

Ergonomic electro-hydraulic dozer control with travel speed selection as standard, lets operator achieve smooth and precise grading control.

Optional high performing air conditioning system* with 8 vents for higher comfort.

Heat protection canopy roof liner provided as standard to ensure comfortable operation in hot & sunny conditions.

You can alternate quickly between single and double-acting auxiliary flow thanks to a convenient switch in the cab (optional).

Heavy duty boom & arm are made of high tensile steel with all critical stress points reinforced. Our clean four-plate dipper design provides added structural strength and durability.

There are no longer any plastic external body panels on our new machines; instead they have 100% high strength pressed steel bodywork.

High quality steel track as well as simplified H-Frame construction makes undercarriage of these minis durable & confidence inspiring.

Mono piece cast kingpost features durable re-bushable pivots to optimise service life on our new machines. It also provides a safe route for all excavator hoses.

The heavy duty boom cylinder guard gives maximum boom cylinder protection even during the toughest jobs.

These minis come with trusted premium manufacturers like Perkins engines, Nachi and Bosch-Rexroth hydraulic components for higher reliability & durability.

Robust cast bucket linkages ensure higher life while handling heavy loads.

Fold back your cab door and you’ll see that it fits snugly within the counterweight length. This keeps it out of harm way throughout the machine operation.

The hydraulic system boasts the latest industry technology “O-Ring Face Seal” (ORFS) hydraulic fittings, providing excellent sealing capabilities.

High quality 400mm & 550mm(optional) steel tracks and you’ll find they’re pre-drilled to make it easier to attach rubber pads.

JCB’s innovative filtration system extends hydraulic service intervals. It requires hydraulic oil change of 2000 hrs & filter change at 500 hrs in bucket operations.

Engine oil, oil filter & fuel filters require replacement at 500 hrs: Reduced maintenance cost and increased machine uptime.

Graphite impregnated bronze bushes allow best-in-class greasing intervals of 500 hours.

The wide-opening steel bonnet makes it easy to access maintenance components from ground level. Opt for a refuelling pump with auto stop function to reduce spillages and increase safety.

These machines feature colour-coded hydraulic hoses for easy identification.

An open frame undercarriage with sloping track legs makes cleaning easier.

Removing the cab floor is easy to do, and affords access to many key components like the main control valve spools.

You can remove the floor mat easily for cleaning, while anti-slip cast tread plates provide safe access and bodywork protection.

Information display with service due alerts and key warning alerts for easy maintenance.

Ensure high uptime & better management of your equipment fleet with an improved CAN based LiveLink. It helps the owners to learn about several aspects of their machines including machine utilisation, health alerts, tow-away alerts, time curfew, geo-fencing and sudden drop in fuel level.

The new compact excavators canopies are fully ROPS and TOPS compliant for increased protection to the cab and operator. Offering ROPS and TOPS certified cab as an option.

JCB’s unique 2GO system ensures your mini excavator hydraulics can only be operated in a safe lockable position via two separate inputs.

JCB’s safety lever lock fully isolates hydraulic functions to prevent unintended movement.

Overload screen displays a bar chart from green to red to indicate if the overload point is close or has been passed. Once passed, the buzzer sounds and the bar flashes to warn the operator.

Large track frame width and a low centre of gravity helps to ensure that stability is maximised on the machines.

Standard boom and optional worklight guards offer greater protection for vulnerable components in hazardous applications.

ZTS and CTS tail swing design with steel body works ensure higher safety to the major components while working in congested job sites.

These machines offer greater visibility, thanks in part to a 70/30 front screen split; for easy, safe trench digging and manoeuvring.
