JCB showcase the JS131 at ConExpo

Based on the well proven JS130 model this machine takes its power from  JCB’s own EcoMax engine which offers a power output rating of 74hp (55kw) running at just 1800rpm and which meets Tier 4F/IIIB emission standards without the aforementioned DPF, SCR, or AdBlue exhaust treatment. According to JCB this engine offers a 10% fuel improvement compared to competitive machines and with no need to use AdBlue a further 10% reduction in operating costs. This machine uses the tried and tested Kawasaki hydraulic pump, all be it a slightly smaller version to the one fitted to the 81kw powered JS130, which has been fine tuned to perform with the 55kw engines output, offering improved power, productivity and fuel economy. The lower rated engine also runs a lot quieter with a gentle purr of just 99dB, which is down 2dB from the 101dB on the JS130, making the machine ideal for working on inner city jobs and housing sites, especially on those where residents have moved in while construction continues around them as is often the case. Other proven components in common with the JS130 and JS145 model include the slew motor by KYB-Bonfiglioli, track motors by Nabtesco and Kayaba valve blocks. Check out the video from the show by the JCB North American team.
