Launched in 2005, the JCB JZ140 was the first of the larger excavators to have the zero tail swing treatment by JCB. The JZ140’s original standard spec for UK operators includes a 4.7 m monoboom, 2.5 m dipper and 700 mm triple grousers and it can use all the popular JS130 buckets and attachments. Options include a dozer blade and digging depths are 2.1m to 3m. JCB claim that there is no significant trade off in digging performance for the JZ140 vs the conventional 130 but the machine is heavier so some consideration needs to be given regarding the transport of the excavator. 2010 saw a model change to the JZ140 LC with an engine change from the Isuzu tier II to the Tier III 73kW version (4JJIX). The machine was replaced in 2014 and once again for Tier V – now using the JCB Dieselmax 448 TCA EU Stage V engine with 81kW.
