Launched back in 2018, the 15C-1 model of JCB mini excavator was launched four years after the first new generation took to the stage in 2014. This conventional tail swing, 1,500 kg digger comes with either a full cab or a canopy – most of the second hand examples here at Plant Pages have the canopy option as weight is critical in this size of machine. With the 11.7kW engine that also features in larger JCB models, the Perkin 403J engine is well suited to the task in hand. Marketed as a lower specification machine than the larger sibling, the 16C-1 , our smaller machine is priced for the tool hire market whereas the larger 16C-1 is more at home working daily on site....

The JCB 16C-1 mini digger was initially marketed in the UK alongside its smaller sibling, the 15C-1. Where the lower specified machine has fallen from the current model offering, the 16C-1 sits front and centre as the conventional tail swing, 1.6 tonne mini excavator of choice from the JCB stable of machines. Powered by a Perkins 403J-07 diesel engine with a gross power of 11.7kW, the difference between this machine and the 19C-1 further up the range is only related to digging depth, height and reach – the dimensions and power of the machines are identical....

The JCB 65R-1 is a reduced tail swing 6 tonne mini excavator model – these are similar to the zero swing, but the body will protrude from the width of the tracks – albeit to a lesser extent that the conventional version (JCB 67C-1). At this size, some operators refer to these machines as ‘Midi Excavators’ but we keep them in the ‘Mini’ class. The JCB 65R-1 uses a Perkins 404D-22 Stage 3A diesel engine rated at 35.7kW and a simple H-frame construction. Operators could specify 400mm rubber tracks or wider 550mm steel tracks when new – equally check the dipper length as the options when new varied from 1.65 to 2 metres. Similarly the dozer blade was optional so make sure there is one fitted if needed for your application.... More Details...>
Looking to buy a used JCB 8008 CTS? Here's some background information to help you decide. The Conventional tail swing JCB 8008 mini excavator is the smallest in JCB’s range of excavators. Designed for small landscaping jobs, its compact size means it can fit through the side gates of most houses and is easy to transport from one site to another with a transport weight of around 800kgs. To help the digger fit through the smallest of gaps, the undercarriage retracts to a maximum width of just 700mm which can be extended to add stability when working to 865mm. The manufacturer understands that the operators of these machines may not always be as experienced as for larger machines. As a consequence, all hoses are protected by routing them through the boom itself. Many class the 8008 CTS...... More Details...>
The most popular model of JCB mini diggers in the UK, the JCB 8018 CTS is the standard model that the operators are looking for.
Weighing in at around 1.7 tonnes, the Perkins 14.7kW engine is perfect for the job. These machines have a dig depth of just under 2.5 metres.... More Details...>
If you are working in tight spaces and need the added safety a zero tail swing mini excavator can provide, the ideal machine for operation in the UK is the JCB 8025 ZTS. When compared alongside JCB’s relevant conventional model, the 8026, the 8025 does fall short. Even though it is still powered by the same 1.5 litre 18.9kW Perkins engine, the conventional model has as much as an 82% better lift capacity than the 8025 ZTS. The machine is comfortable enough in the cab, but, again is less roomy than the conventional model. Our advice? If you have to have a zero tail swing model at an operating weight around the 2.5 to 3 tonne mark then the 8025 ZTS is for you. If you have more space to work then opt for the conventional model – there’s usually a better selection of them in the used...... More Details...>
Launched back in 2013, the conventional tail swing 8026 CTS is still offered by JCB in their 2.5 upwards range. Sharing the same 18.9kW power plant Is sits alongside the relevant zero tail swing model, the 8025 ZTS. The compact 8026 CTS has an operating weight of 2,867kg and has as much as an 82% better lift capacity than its ZTS sibling – so if you don’t need a zero tail swing model then this conventional version is a much better buy. Despite this impressive work rate, the 8026 CTS is still able to be towed behind a standard pickup with a 3.5 tonne towing capacity. With a fully glazed and heated cabin and impressive legroom, it means that an operator can spend longer in comfort in this machine.... More Details...>
The 3 tonne zero tail swing mini excavator from JCB, the 8030 ZTS is a true zero tail swing (as compared to a reduced swing version). With a wider undercarriage than the smaller 8025 model, the machine is powered by the Perkins 1.5 litre 20.9kW diesel engine. The machines were available as cab or canopy versions when new, so check the specifications carefully. The 8030 ZTS does not appear in the current JCB line up – operators would have to specify the smaller 8025 model or upgrade to the new generation 35Z-1 for the closest 3-tonne mini excavator....

JCB are the world's largest manufacturer of backhoe loaders - many are made in the UK, but the company also has a huge backhoe loader factory in India. Inventors of the backhoe loader in the 1950's, JCB have remained the number one choice for site operators in the UK even though they have started to call them 'Excavator Loaders'.

JCB usually compete with Hitachi for the position of most common tracked excavator for sale at PlantPages. This means you will usually find a great choice of used JCB tracked excavators for sale here.

If you work at JCB then you might call these a 'JCB Wheelie' but we prefer advertising JCB Wheel excavators for sale at Plant Pages. The range comes in two main model lines - the one we are all familiar with, the 'JS' range and the new Hydradig range which, JCB claim, is the first purpose designed wheel excavator, as opposed to a tracked version being modified. These modern looking machines could well be the future for the 'JCB Rubber Duck'. There are specialist material handler versions of the JCB wheel loaders - these have an 'MH' at the end of the model number, (unless it's a hydradig then it's called a 'Wastemaster'). You will find these in their own materials handler category at Plant Pages.... More Details...>
