JCB CEA National Excavator Product
Manager, Deon Cope, said: “The
JS300 incorporates the tried and true
elements of other JCB models to create
a superstructure that comes with all the
improvements and benefits of our larger
range, but in a more compact body.”
“The hydraulic tank on the new JS300
has maximum sight gauge capacity of
238 litres – an increase of 40% – that
allows the machine to work in the most
extreme conditions and temperatures,”
Deon said.
“This machine has been built with
Australian conditions in mind. It can
withstand hot and harsh environments
and reach peak performance when doing
demanding jobs,” Deon said.
"The body is equipped with a house
frame, service bay doors and latches that
add longevity and durability, and give
longer life to all machine components;
while the box section side frames add
strength to help localise any external
forces from damaging the product."
The key components of larger JCB
excavators have been used in building
this new model, including the JCB
DieselMAX 672 Engine, the 590L fuel
tank and the increased hydraulic tank
capacity.
The JS300 excavators use the JCB
Dieselmax 672, bringing increased
fuel efficiency and a fuel consumption

litres per hour, compared
to the externally sourced
Japanese engines used
in earlier models. The
fuel tank on this model
has been upgraded to
590L capacity, delivering
a 4.6% upgrade over its
predecessor to allow
longer run times without
stopping to refuel.
“One of the best ways to
get the most value from
your machines is through
fuel economy,” Deon said.
“It significantly increases
your service intervals and
reduces down time so
you can get jobs done more efficiently.”
The new JS300 excavator from JCB CEA was designed with durability and fuel
efficiency in mind for optimum productivity
